Pretty sure those are fastest laps.

So by that, then a 1:03:00 is a 63 seconds correct???

Look Chris, I know how you feel. You had the skill. You had the weight. By all rights, you should have won, probably. I'm sure you are a little upset about that because you wanted to prove it, so here I am telling you: you did well. Very well, and you should be happy with your performance. You have nothing to prove to us: you are good at karting. If you got black flagged for a fluke, well...I guess that is racing.

So for what it's worth, all that karting may prove beneficial whenever you HPDE. But don't expect to be a pro day one :-P

It's just, I take it very personally. I'm very compeditive. And honestly, I saw you as my primary opponent. And it really chaps my azz (and not in the way shado likes his azz chapped either... :ugh2: )to have been cheated out of it by some stupid reason I wasn't even told. I Know you have skill which is why I was gunning for you that last race when I got behind you. :driving: I concede that your name is at the top of the last page.

I'm not expecting to be a pro at an HDPE the first time out at all. Honestly I know I will be VERY hesitant/cautious (pussy) because its in MY car, my DD, my baby, etc etc. So I will be hesitant to push... Until my comfort grows, as you well know. :icon17: That's why I come to you with 50 questions all the time.

It's stupid, actually. If you spin, they black flag you, and you have to come into the pits to serve a penalty. IMO, the time lost by spinning out should be the penalty.

Dana was pissed because when she spun, the guy gave her some (angry) lecture. She felt like they rubbed her the wrong way by treating her like a noob so she quit. She knew why she spun but the guy wouldn't quick yapping. I was upset about that because she would have done well if she stuck with it. Oh well... there's next time.

Ouch, didn't hear about that.

I mean, I understand...spinning could cause OTHER wrecks, so you should never spin. But, it happens...

It's racing. **** happens. They act like it's the end of the world when it does, though.

I understand there are liabilities, but still.

I was following bobo for the entire track trying to pass him. But he never looked back to see I was there, and I didn't want to spin him out by being too aggressive and ducking in when he cut into a turn.

So after the front stretch, I tried to nose in, and when he did cut, the only think I could do to not T bone him was brake. As soon as I touched the pedal, rear end came out and I was facing Steve. :shakes head:

I waited for all traffic to pass and then pulled back into the lane... Got the black flag at the other half of the track and yelled :wtf: at the guy. Pulled into the pits, was told nothing, went back out and proceeded to set my fastest lap of the day.

I didn't get any lecture and I'm glad I didn't because I would have told him it's ******* stupid to black flag a car that didn't touch any other car, and didn't obstruct other racers before returning to the course. :shakes head:

Next time, don't worry about Bobo (or anyone else) not looking back. If you have a run, go for it. The other driver has to deal with it.

Be ruthless, but as clean as efficiently possible.

And remember, if you do spin someone, you just meant to "rattle his cage." Happy 62nd, Dale. RIP.

No, he spun out in T1 to keep from hitting you.

Ahh, I figured that is what happened when I watched Jon's video, but wasn't sure.

See, I would have just stuck it in there. Or helped you through the corner. :driving:
