Gas prices man.


Actually, I take that back, Dee would have been in heaven if he saw how cheap the gas was in Winchester.

But he wasn't driving, wasn't someone supposed to meet up with him and give him a ride out?

So we can conclude their Black Flag rules are worthless, and the "Time out" pow pow we got was also equally ridiculous.

Yeah I never got why they would black flag drivers who spun out. Mistakes happen and the spin already cost them time/position.

Black flag should only be used if driver is being overly aggressive/dangerous to other drivers not to ones who spin out by themselves not causing harm to the other racers.

Agreed. I spun out because I braked to PREVENT hitting bobo. And I get black flagged.

I disagree, especially in your situation. Tough love here, however: imagine it was you in your 370Z pulling like a freight train on a little Miata and you SLAM on your brakes to "prevent hitting them". You're going to have an off-track adventure likely, and/or wreck INTO said Miata. And that is entirely your fault.

Karting not only teaches good car control, but it also teaches you safe practices for REAL racing. Plowing into a corner like that is an unsafe practice, and I'd expect to be punished suitably for endangering myself and the driver in front of me.

Translation: Next time Bobo backs the corner up more than you like, pull out and make him :dealwithit: as you steal his apex.

Pretty much.

Like I said earlier, be ruthless. Be as clean as you efficiently can.

And always remember, 8 tires are better than 4.

And this is where the different realm comes into play. I wouldn't drive the same with my car as I do out there because I don't know the limits of my car. With these, it is much easier to know the limits. And I do for the most part. That was a timing crunch, and the only "mistake" I made was actually touching the brake.

Because I was trying to pass you, I didn't take the turn as wide as I normally would because you were there, and the slower cars were there.

But even still, the black flag was used way too much.
