Good Race.

I chewed my way to a 3rd place finish after ending up at the rear early on!

There's actually a couple of threads devoted to today's race already. :-)
Miss them?

It was good for me until the end when the guy running 3rd punted me at
the end of lap 79.  I didn't even so much as scrape the wall for the
entire race, and ended up in the wall and finishing 8th.

This makes five RASCAR races where I was running in the top 5 at the
end, but that ended badly for me because of someone else's mistake.

It's been mentioned...<g>
I don't have much to say.  Slowest car in the field again.  Even the cars that
were damaged and a lap down passed me... :(

John, I checked the replay after seeing the chat at the end of the race, & saw
that the same driver punted me earlier in the race, ~ lap 37 or so.  At the
time, altho a little po'ed after being hit twice from behind in turn 1, I
shrugged it off & kept going. (sorry to Eldred for coming down off the wall in
front of you, hood was crumpled up & couldn't see ya coming & thought every1 was
by)  :-(

I wasn't going to say anything, but maybe it's time to remind folks that they
are not the only car on the track, & punting people out of the way is *not* the
accepted way to pass, at least not to me.  If this is the way we are going to
race, let me know, I'm a quick learner.

And using the Chrome Horn does sound kinda cool.  ;-)

Well, let's just say i won't forget this one.  I won't intentionally
wreck anybody, but I can make my car pretty wide.

Maybe you should try and get out of the way of the faster cars, loser.

Nice attitude! If the faster car can't pass, it's the faster car's
problem.

Couldn't attend the race yesterday, I was attending a wedding. Hope to
be there next time.

It's probably best that you kill-file that little "redted" ***.  I
did.

Well, what's there to say? -We wuz robbed, bud... ;-(

That said, I think I was a bit harsh on Colin at the time. Ok, he was
following a bit too close for online purposes, but from my replay it appears
as though he did make an effort to avoid the accident once he'd gotten
caught out by my braking point (which was exactly where I'd intended and,
IMO, had to be in order to make the pass on JLe). One of those racing deals.

In contrast, again: from my point of view, JayMo's involvements with you and
Brian appear more indicative of impatience/red mist driving.

BTW Brian, 't was me who you collected coming down off the wall, Eldred
passed unhindered. Not stopping the car and switching to roof cam before
coming down onto the racing line was a mistake, IMO. Then again... anything
that could be crumpled/messed up on my car, already was, so no big deal.

Ooops, forgot to mention that, all in all, I think 6 cautions is not a bad
count at this track in view of all the racing that took place in the pack.

Yes, (I'm Jaymo) B.Farmer, I got in the back of you. My fault. I tried,
though, to change lines at the last minute. Yes I'm agressive, but that is
certainly no excuse for getting in the back of someone. I do my best to stay
clean and hold my line, and I make mistakes. John Simmons, I looked at the
replay (as any of you can) and still state I held my line, and it is your
responsiblity to be sure of being clear before coming down. This is a clear
rule, and breaking it will result in a wreck. The replay (on my side) shows
this was YOUR mistake John Simmons. I don't know what your side shows, or if
you'll even read this post, but if it shows the same as my side, you are
being very unfair.

Thank you,
Steve K.

  Yes and no in oval racing.  What goes around literally comes around there
<G>   Someone makes it hard for an obviously faster car to pass, that same
faster car usually repays the "favor" at some point.
