I meant, to watch. I'm not even comparing myself to the pack leaders. Maybe after I submit to some rigorous training and practice. Maybe. :)

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.

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. :shakes head:

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.

Pretty much.

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

And always remember, 8 tires are better than 4. :tup:

I'm serious, though. If someone is slowing me down they are getting the chrome horn. IDGAF.

S'what I'm sayin! Driving fast takes practice, practice, practice. All of these things add skill in some areas. Karting and AutoX are fantastic for control. HPDE/RDE are great for leaning what a "line" is, along with alternate lines. Do all of them, and you get very good, very fast.

And you too will get a :shakes head: "talking to" from Panama Jack. :ugh2:

I definitely see HPDE in my future. Most likely in the fall.

You know... there is a closer indoor track we all could go to in Dulles...

Precisely. And you met and exceeded the limits of the kart, so this really is the same as an off-track excursion doing the real deal. In that situation, you'd be made to come back in to the pits, too. So I feel the black flag in this situation is appropriate.

Now, I don't know what others were getting flagged for - I'd love to see footage from someone who DID get flagged, like Josh, but he had no camera. I CAN tell you, however, that I was driving quite aggressively in my traffic management, and I never even got a hint of a black flag, so aggressive driving wasn't it. I never once bumped another car, nor did I ever lose control of my car.

I wonder if they will let us beat on each other.




And also make contact with the karts.

I've never seen a "good" indoor track. Passing on those may as well use the "wedge" maneuver.
