This is funny!

      61  98  Dropping Debris  Pit for repairs

I have never seen that one before!

Luckily I was already in the pit, and was just turning left to my sign when
this hit :)

Not sure exactly what you mean. Was I forcing my way inbetween or someone
else forcing between us ?
I've looked through the replay and can see neither. All I saw was some
awesomely intense racing.

Larry, would you please explain your view of the "final lap"
incident? I beat you to tenth, but only by crossing S/F
*sideways* with smoking tyres after that collision with you.

From my replay it looks like you got onto the horizontal part
of the apron, came back on the track and hit me on my left side
(I was in the lead by half a car length at that point).

Cheers,

uwe

Sorry bout messing up your name Bamadano. As far as the incident or
accident, I will take your word for it. The file on Eldreds site is about
60mb long and that would take me about 1 day to download. Not that
important. My replay didn't show what you described but I never saved it so
it dont matter. See ya'll next week. Texas will be fun.

I watched the replay, and _I_ actually sent Bama up into the wall on Lap 15.
Is this the incident you are speaking of?

If so, that was MY fault, not his.

I didn't actually touch him, but either air or warp sent his car around.  It
was real close.

But, since I was the one drifting upwards, I'll take the heat for this one
:)

I was on the brakes a lot too, but I think that's more the fault of the
setup/rules package than anything else.

I can understand why the real racers don't like this package. It truly
sucks!

I have actually lost interest in running SS races as much as I used too,
with the exception of Coca Cola.  That's SS racing the old fashioned way :)

Uwe,

You are quite correct :)

I thought I had a bigger hole than was there, and by the time I realized it
adrenalin had taken over and disconnected my Brain-Right Foot interface :)

I was going to get to that today...

Sorry!

I meant don't hold the yellow line on the straights until the end. Not sure
if you are talking about the corners or the straights.

There's some stuff called "advantage" that you get from a vet that will
absolutely get rid of any fleas on your dogs, and keeps them away for a
month or two until you re-apply. As for the ones already indoors, you'll
have to get one of those flea bombs. You, your family, and pets will have to
leave the house for a day or two though. :-)

I saw the same thing Tuesday in another league race.  I tore up the right
front, and didn't have a wheel.  Got the black flag right as I was pulling into
the pits...
