My spotter informed my about .10 of a second before I entered pit road
to stay behind the 98 car. Besides, there is supposed to be a
provision for a car that is extremely slow and off the pace. I have
not gone back and looked at the replay, but pure and simple the game
screwed up for both me and Don. For starters I was in 2nd place. The
only car I had to stay behind was the leader... and why did only 2
cars get the BF, if the game was going to *** up why not black flag
everyone? A BF, even when deserved pisses me off more than anything.
To get a bogus one...
