Caution ... who to follow?

5 posts by 5 people · 15 Mar 1997 - 17 Mar 1997

I am finding that the computer gets confused (or I do) when a caution happens. My spotter tells me to stay behind a car but I never see that car or he tells me to let someone by and I stop on the track and watch everyone pass me but he never tells me who to stay behind. Ofcouse in some cases I get black flagged .... anyone have problems with this too? * Now Technologies, Inc. | http://www.nowtechs.com * * 8106 Huntmaster Ct | Phone : (410) 766-0604 * * Glen Burnie MD, 21061 | Fax : (410) 766-0604 *

One thing you need to ignore is the first message he gives you as you exit the pits under caution. (He'll tell you pass so-and-so. Don't do it; pretend he never said it and go catch the field like you think you should...) ---Jim Sokoloff, Papyrus
So that means the spotter is telling you bad infomation at the cost of memory and harddrive space on your computer... WOW what a concept.

Also ignore the message if cars just ahead of you pit and you don't. Once it's realized the cars you passed are on pit road, that message will go away. Terry -- TerryH on Hawaii

How is it taking memory and hard drive space on your computer for the spotter to give you incorrect information? Do you people just look for things to *** at Jim about? At least he is here to answer questions which is more than I can say for any other company. Lay off...
