Hawaii-Dega jerks!

I don't know about the rest of you guys, but I'm getting tired of being crashed by TOTALLY STUPID moves. I was coming off turn 2 got a run on the 3rd place guy and was pulling up next to him and he decides to turn left to block, too late WRECK half way down the straight. Another thing that gets me is guys that run the white line down the straight. I don't do this, if a guy is faster and can pass, I'll pass him back later ( unless the above happens). If I can't pass him back the I don't belong infront of him. While I'm venting on the subject of Dega, what the hell is with the idoits that SLAM draft you? Taps I don't mind, but when a guy slams you so you get out of control, that bites. Oh and another thing, I really like the guys that try and pass you for a few laps and then decide to wreck you because they can't pass fair and square. Oh yeah one more thing, on the starts. What is with the driving two wide on the apron in the first turn, then two to 3 wide on the track? That makes 5 wide, I've seen it. Only about 2 of them continued on. STAY IN LINE FOR TURN ONE!!!!! Well I guess I vented enough for one night. I'm not saying that I've never caused a wreck, but not to the degree of blocking or driving down to the grass to pass. My problem is I hate to lift, but I USUALLY do. Higgy

There is a way to cure Dega-itus. Don't run at Dega. It works. Mike

Here, here !!! Well put !! Darin Carr HawaiiID: DCarr

I'll tell you what, it's not only Dega anymore. I raced Bristol last night (Monday 7/29), and there were two idiots who could not let faster people pass them. One of them goes by the name of Psycho, and the other was TA(something). These guys are bad news. Watch out. Out of four races I tried to run, I finished one, only because it was a no-damage race. Every other one there were a bunch of punks crashing everyone trying to pass them. Looks like only league racing from now on. Mike

I'm with you Sean, I only have one question, why when you start a race at Talladega are cars and people able to get along side each other? I know first gear is going to have a little to do with it but, before the green flag drops doesn't everyone sit there with there foot on the floor? Sometime I race with 20-30 people, and it seem like somebody up front forgets to puch the loud pedal at all, talk about a wreck, geesh! I don't understand why people insist on blocking either, if your close enough to pass, your going to get by them anyway. One thing I hate is when you run down the backstraight at Talldega, and you draft halfway by someone and going into turn three they decide there going to run the low line. In this situation, I usually drive through the middle lane in turn 3 and then drop down to the inside through four, and draft through the tri-oval and pass in turn one. Jason

Sometime I race with 20-30 people, and it seem like somebody up >front forgets to puch the loud pedal at all, talk about a wreck, geesh! Because they don't always get the green flag. There's a bug in the system that makes the flags, "One Lap Until Green", and "Pass"/"Stay Behind" messages unreliable. If your computer doesn't get the green flag on a race without a pace lap, you sit on the grid. I don't understand why drivers can't stay in line during the 1st lap until everyone gets up to speed. That's what causes the inevitable first turn crash, as cars go 4 and 5 wide. Of course, I can't understand why people insist on running Talladega race after race, night after night, week after week... ad nauseum...

Jason, I think I can answer the question about people not starting the same time. I have had MANY times where my pedal was to the floor and I still started like 1-2 seconds after everyone else. Believe me I hate it, people think you are sleeping but you're not. Now I'm prepared to weave left, (if on inside) and weave right (if on outside). Sean ---Higgy----

That's happened to me a couple of times too. An extra second seems like an hour when your watching everyone else go. I reported it to Hawaii_help. Haven't got a response yet. Mike Radler
