I was behind Eldred coming out of the pits on that final stop and I believe we could have caught Ginger and Neil if I hadn't screwed up and pulled up in front of a lap car coming out of two. Spun us both, and I lost my draft with Eldred. It was a great race, very intense, lots of give and take by everyone. James aka...bluestringer

Well, my typical luck for races I spend in excess of 10 hours preparing for continued. EVERY single race I've prepped more than 10 hours for I've been knocked out of within 10 laps :( I still don't know what happened up front, but Dave had to let up suddenly. I did the same to keep from wiping him out, and then I got hit from behind. I don't think I got hit that hard, but I got warp-slammed into the outside wall and lost my motor. For a race running moderate damage I got the crap knocked out of me. The hood was up as high as I'd ever seen it, and the motor was immeidately killed. As good as Papy's online racing system is, the collision detection remains it's weakest point, sending cars flying through the air and into walls and each other at 400mph at will. The game got me more than anything else, but I sure would like to know why the line slowed up so suddenly. I never saw a reason for it. -Larry "David G Fisher" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:[email hidden]... > Congratulations to Ginger, Neil, and Eldred. Only three yellows in apretty

I'd call it accordion effect from guys giving each other a break. Problem is the farther you get back the less reaction time to work with. I run in cockpit and its pretty hard to see ahead more than a car or two ahead at any given time. I was trying pretty hard to make the high line work but unfortunately I got a bit closer to Ginger than I probably should have. I got surprised to see him come back a few inches so I had to totally lift which caused my front end to get squirrelly and I couldn't save it resulting in Dave and I (maybe others) getting spun to the infield. I didnt sustain any damage but without a yellow flag I lost a couple laps trying to get up to speed. Thanks Tim for slowing up enough for us to draft back up. I still had a blast though. Pretty intense stuff 2X2 lap after lap. Only a few (2 IIRC but no flag on another) cautions on a 50% race Great race Ginger Neil and Eldred on your podium finishes.

I had to completely lift and tap the brakes to keep from hitting the car in front a of me, Dave was behind me and couldn't get slowed in time and away we go.

Just 3 flags (5th time in last 8 races), and two were for blown engines.

Yep, one of those was when I pulled up short on the 11 coming out of 2. If I could have stayed in the draft with you Eldred, I'm sure we could have caught the front 2. bluestringer

Im still scratching my head on the one I was involved in Eldred. Multi car wrecks I thought would bring out a yellow flag but in both cases it didnt. It woulda really helped me and a few others also.
