Not Ranked
Kputz, Maybe you should have had your window net down ( so you could do a proper point by and lifted also. Unless I know for sure, which usually means a point by, I would not pass. As far as guys going off at open events, maybe they were pushing the limits at a track with no walls and lots of run off room. How do you get ability? does it appear without practice or just enter a race? I was really nervous 6 months ago when I was at willow springs on a friday. 2.4 miles, 9 turns, avg speed 90mph plus. Friday was race car only day. Stock cars, trucks, challenge ferraris and the cobra with a few others. Open track with like 40 cars all day, on and off as you please. I thought I would be over my head with all these guys that race. 60% of the cars were passing me and I was getting by the rest. I pointed every guy by me, nobody passed without the point by, they waited. The instant I was behind someone, they moved over and pointed me by. Every event I have been to, they discuss the point by. I do think that in the faster groups, guys are watching the mirrors and pay more attention. That same weekend, the races featured had like 10 guys go off each race. The open track groups had none that I remember. Scott
