its true that we touched. i've watched it several times now, and the movement looks pretty mutual to me. i moved towards him to help get the line and he moved towards me cause it looks like the right side of the track jogs to the left some. i was trying to close the gap between us, and he was looking to follow the edge of the track. we both moved into one another. there was pretty much no evidence of the contact post race. in fact, he didnt even know we touched till he watched the vid.
we didnt touch going into 3. agressive? yes. anything wrong w/ it? no.
as for out of class contact and who was to blame there.
i was on the tail of the CMC 1st place car. i dont think Jeremy could see the CMC-2 first place car. he has every right to race thru and i have every right to race to keep from him getting between me and the car i was racing.
i also talked w/ Jeremy Sunday (w/out seeing the vid) and i apologized to him for the contact. things are clear w/ me and him. no need for you guys to get involved.
and as far as the BS talk about the suit patch over the last few months. thats all in good fun. i was impressed that Jeremy caught me (mostly due to the off we had) and told him so.
that was hardly a dive bomb going into the turn off the front straight where i locked the brakes. JB got on his earlier than he had been for whatever reason an i reacted. i was already beside you when that hapened. the tires locked and i wasnt able to turn the same. but its not what i would call a dive bomb.
Awesome racing! I love watching this race from the different seats :)
Very good heads up avoidance going on there, several times!
Glenn, "brake dive" may not be the right term. But that is two races in a row where I have seen you put yourself in a position where you were not prepared for something happening different ahead of you than what you expected. I guess I drive more defensively than you do. It is also the second time in my racing career that you have passed me with the brakes locked - that always messes with my head. :)
Michael - does louder equal faster?
I'm working on the edit of R3 and R4. Unfortunately I spectacted for a lot of it. Fortunately, I got video of everyone else's cars.
First off, Glenn is correct here, I am not/was not upset about the entire 4/3 issue. I knew I was going to have to make some serious moves to pass two guys with the experience that Glenn and Birch have. Unfortunately I caused some major issues and upset a few people, was not my intention but it was the result. As far as Glenn moving over on me, It's aggressive racing! I think we should all try and give each other a few more inches of room. But it's racing, and we all know that in the moment, giving someone else some room is not really going through the brain. We race by the rules. I'm a rookie, one that has talked a lot of shit to Glenn and some others, I didn't expect a point by, and I didn't get one... I knew I was going to have to earn the position... and I failed...Quote:

But looking back, 2nd would have been much better for points than 7th...
Over the past week I have thought about many conversations I had at the track. I am going to have to be a little more precise with my moves. after all I still have an orange plate on my ass... I think we should all look at what we are doing, and the dangers we encounter due to the mistakes we make and mistakes of other drivers around. I don't want the "crazy ass" name, but I think the ink is already loaded in the gun. I will say this, I would rather drive on the limit with this group of guys, then down the streets of any city drivers...
The drama is going to be an issue, every class in every race series in the nation has it. But there is no reason to stir the pot. We are all friends, some better than others, but the bigger picture is the series. Less drama will be more inviting for people who are there to DE or spectate, and getting them to build a CMC/AI car is the goal, right?
Jeremiah and I both had mechanical free weekends for the most part. maybe the first time for each of us. This years rookies' cars are starting to get sorted, which has allowed us to play a little more, a little mentoring is all we are looking for. If we deserve an ass chewin, give it to us, if you think we need advice, give it to us. We know what we know, but we don't have a clue what you know...
Noted ... :twisted:Quote:

In classes where everything is supposedly matched closely, that leaves very few opportunities to make a pass. So opportunities are created.
The event breeds these kinds of moves.
Late braking, locking of tires, questionable moves, racing contact were a common occurrence from my POV in the middle of pack. Its not fair to string someone up just because it was captured on tape.
fair enough Rob. i've had a inconsistant performance as of late.

Funny. I would have guessed you already had, "Crazy" tatooed on your ass :lol:
Hate I missed such an action packed weekend. Alot of paint swiping by rookies and the usual veterans that always seem to put their paint on someone's car.
Just wait till ECR-I'm going to be working with MFW after I move to Plano next weekend and I have some ideas.
