Thanks, that was killing me.

I'll be working on that with Will. We'll leave this topic alone for a bit..
But to put it in perspective, all the race groups were cut a bit short at ECR for some reason:
Total hot laps (4 races for some groups/3 for others):
Thunder - 24
Blitz - 25
Cyclone - 26
Lightning - 19* (*red flag during race 3 ended the race on Lap 2)
You guys prob won't have to worry about SI next year cause three of them are going bye bye to new owners elsewhere.
Well they aren't sold yet but the plan is for:
Me - going AI
Bill - going back to SM
Corey - who knows
Ross, the 3/4 width rule is not the issue in my opinion. The problem is a general lack of racecraft and car control to know better than to even try certain moves or take certain risks. That isn't racing, its gambling. Knowing what not to even try is the key regardless of what the rules state. If you honestly think you can pull off a move with tires in the dirt....that driver needs to reevaluate their racecraft.
That may sound a little harsh but to quote Dirty Harry. " Man has got to know his limitations."
Not sure what Jack is doing yet. Could stay in SI but talking about AI with the same car. It was an AI car when we bought it won't be hard to change back still have all the go faster stuff. Pretty sure Dennis and Mike Snavely will stay in SI. Don't know about the other guy.
Here is a great video showing how to pass and to use patients. I closed the door on James many times (I feel I had the right to every time). Most of us could learn a bunch about passing and patients from watching James.

Don't dig too deep.. you will find all the bad mistakes too. :o
In that race, I was little aggressive in the fist lap and that is why I went off track. I think Wade was on my inside and I was trying to pass on the outside and we were running out of room, so I bailed off track to avoid any contact.
Jerry.. I never had an issue at all with you. We joked and cut up afterwards about how I couldn't quite get next to you where I wanted to be most of that race. Good fun.
