You done fugged up.
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.

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. 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 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.

I spun out on the qualifying round. It was driver error, I didn't take anyone else out, when I stopped I was able to recover and continue, but I got a stop and go penalty. The fear of a repeat made me gunshy for the remaining two rounds. Not to mention the fact that the brakes on the third kart I got were absolute ****.
