MAZOC Karting Challenge 27 April (Sat.)

I'mma put that as my "Racer Name" next time.

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.

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.

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.

The problem with Indoor tracks is they will most likely be Electric karts, and although its 100% torque instantly, tracks are usually shorter, cars are OFTEN governed, and the weight factors you fatties are complaining about, is even More prevalent. But I'd still be up for going.

Ok, well then why didn't I get black flagged when I couldn't avoid hitting Dana when she spun out? I actually made contact with another car that time... Hmmm

I'm sure they deemed that unavoidable contact.

It was just bad. That's all.

That is a bit different. She spun, you didnt. I was following a steady, relatively predictable line, and you spun out behind me trying to do an early turn-in to overtake me. If there's one VERY dangerous move to do in racing, it's a hot, early turn-in.

I was following your line, we got to the traffic sooner than expected. I wasn't going to cut in on you when we already had traffic to get around.

Hmpf, I can honestly say I don't remember the traffic at that turn at all, when it happened. Your safest bet would have been to hang back however, and see how I dealt with the traffic, and try to take an alternate line.

They were there. That's what I was trying to do, but they were going slower in the turn than I (we'd) thought so when you slowed down, it was chain reaction.

The flags for people spinning... mostly all around me...

I just so happened to be in the cluster of people so they kept pointing me in.
