Passing before S/F line?

Tonight in a league race at The Rock, I went low on a restart after a caution because I was warping, and sent an autochat message for the cars behind me to "Pass HIGH". They did, and one of the drivers came on and told me that caused him to be black-flagged. I always thought it was ok to pass HIGH before the start finish line when going green from a caution. Is it not? Thanks... Jim Tester [email hidden]

You can pass high without penalty after the green flies. -- Mike Grandy www.precision-racing.com "Jim Tester" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:[email hidden]... > > Tonight in a league race at The Rock, I went low on a restart after a > caution because I was warping, and sent an autochat message for the > cars behind me to "Pass HIGH". > > They did, and one of the drivers came on and told me that caused him > to be black-flagged. > > I always thought it was ok to pass HIGH before the start finish line > when going green from a caution. > > Is it not? > > Thanks... > > Jim Tester > [email hidden] >

Yes it is ok to do that. Something else happened, maybe he passed you before the green was waived ? -John >

I think the secret phrase was "I was Warping"that can cause problems with the game recognizing YOUR position on the track. "John Pancoast" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:[email hidden]...

Yessir...it sure can. But I wasn't warping at the time I allowed the pass. I was just trying to be safe because I had been warping a little (I'm on cable) a couple of laps back. Thanks for the input though...and I agree with it. Jim

Excuse me but could you give some examples of the symptoms of warping for a newbie. I also have a cable modem and thus far have not had problems through a few races. Elrikk

When I connected with a 56K modem, I could tell I was warping if everybody else blinked out. Both on the track, and also on my F2 display. If other cars are blinking out individually, that indicates that THEY are warping. But if everybody disappears from my screen/display at the same time, then that's ME that's warping. Like I said...that was when I was using a 56K modem Now that I'm on Broadband Cable, I don't normally have any problems with me warping. But this time, I had no idea that I was doing it until the driver behind me told me that I was blinking in and out. And I was the only one. But everybody else stayed on the screen for me in that instance. So I didn't even know that I was. Maybe something to do with the sending/receiving speed of the modem or something. I don't know And welcome to the group. Jim "Smokey" Tester

<snip> > And welcome to the group. > > Jim "Smokey" Tester > Thank you for the explanations. It appears that I did warp out once. All the cars disapeared but as I am usually racing like the wind at the tail end of the pack it didn't (appear to) cause any problems. If I see the same symptoms again I'll pull off to the apron. Thanks again. Elrikk PS This WAS with cable modem though ???

People with Cable Modem's are just as vulnerable to internet "traffic jams" as people on dial up, if a certain router between you and the server is too busy to let al the traffic through in a timely manner, there's little you can do about it, and little your ISP can do either if it's not one of their routers However, if this happens often and at different servers, you might want to run a traceroute to the servers you race on most often to see where the problem might be Beers and cheers (uncle) Goy http://www.theuspits.com "A man is only as old as the woman he feels........" --Groucho Marx--
