Since there isn't a protest thread for session 3, I will make mine here.

Incident 1- Lap 5, during SC period, entering pits
Cars: 45, 88
Reason: Diving into the pit entrance well past the "commitment cone"

Incident 2- Lap 5, during SC period, in pitlane
Car: 132
Reason: Delibarately turning into me, causing damage to my car, and spinning out another car in pitlane.

Under Yellow flag you are suppose to pit coming off 3 if you read the rules.

Quote from Storm_Cloud :

I had the most trouble last year with oval "experts" who seemed to make up their own set of rules - like don't overtake if you're the third car in the draft and nonsense like that. They then took it upon themselves to mete out their own punishments to the guys who did not do whatever passes for conduct on FM Oval Junkies.

The 3 car draft is tricky to learn. You have to over take as the 2nd guy over takes and you are all in the same spot so 1st car is the 1st or last car and the middle car is always the middle car and last car is either the 1 or last car.

Quote from fermevc :

I watched the replay, and you`re right about me (car 81), straying to the outside. I wouldn`t call it straying, it was not intentional (my wheel didn`t move to outside it was the forces pushing my car outside). IMO, car 88 had a much better view of the situation and didn`t need to move towards me, since he already gave car 04 enough room to pass him. Our paths crossed and if hi lifted a throtlle pedal just a little bit or continued parallely , contact would be avoidable.
Instead, 88 contiued to move away from 04, and we made a contact that caused a whole mess.
Not to mention that car 88 had the "BLUE FLAG", but apparently didn`t mean a thing to him or maybe blue flag doesn`t mean anything in oval races, correct me if I`m wrong.

No see if was you that we are worried about. You came up at least 2 racing lines and hit me. If you watch me from blimp view, I stay perfect on the white dotted line knowing that I had you and I forget who on the inside and rudy was passing me on the outside. There was at least 2 lanes between me and you because you came up the track and hit me.

As far as the blue flag, I knew I had it I didn't do anything wrong, In the oval you are going to have that a lot. All I am trying to do is race hard and get my lap back.

Quote from Ori :

Dear NDR-Officials,

I hereby hand in a petition to exclude drivers which lack the basics of oval racing from the 2009 Kyoto 500.

Beeing interested in having proper racing with respective conditions you are asked to mind the fact that a considerable number of the NDR CART - participants appear to not be familiar with oval racing. Since the time remaining until the special event is too short for them to gain the necessary experience it is highly recommended to take precautions granting acceptable conditions for the professional competitors on oval race tracks.

yours sincerely

Ori

Ori,

With a little practice you can learn how to race the oval. Myself I didn't start racing the oval till probably this time last year. I would of started 5th in last years kyoto 500, after sitting on the pole for day 1. With still a month left to go and for everyone in LFSCart the speedweeks, there is plenty of time to learn the oval. And with 30 racers things are going to be nuts.

Think of this race as SC practice and learning to hold your speed

Its something for you guys to get use to for the kyoto 500. see how it actually works. When yeah 30+ people show up its going to take longer

Quote from J@tko :

I would be surprised if after qualifying we didn't have 30 starters.

Well im sure we will have a full field this year, but i just dont expect 77+ to show up to qual

Quote from TFalke55 :

yes... I mean we have got 77 sign ups... more to come in the future days...

but out of those 77 and many more how many do you think actually show up???

Quote from dekojester :

Yeah, the bulk of the sessions will be races, and will have the three-wide start to practice that.

And yes, I may throw a phantom caution to get some SC practice in. I won't do any phantoms during the big show, don't worry.

And the only official part of Friday's session was the 60 minute open-track session. The race after was just for a bit of fun.

d

Ohhhhhhh deko you know in the big show your going to have that phantom debris caution in the big dance, lol

This track is going to be fun, I think I fanally got down to a 1:10:01 just gotta learn the damn line

Quote from scania :

Will there any pratice session at night of US timming?

Just keep bitching at deko and im sure he will do it.

Quote from buck77 :

Thx J@tko...

It's just I don't wanna loose any chance of racing! I have less than 150 online laps!

But, oh well...

Looking forward to the next one!! \o/

Yeah man you still have over a month and probably at least 20 more sessions to go before the kyoto 500.

Hey I was at the Indy Race Last yeah and I have pictures to prove it!

Quote from dekojester :

Damnit ! Dude, now I have to go through the LFSCART signups since Falke hasn't got his list there up to date. :P
d

Lol deko you thought it would have been that easy to look at the sign up list? lol

R2's are fun as hell to race with.

Sorry Falke can't make this weeks race gotta, work on saturday durning the event

Quote from TFalke55 :

The skins would be fine, if you did not change the stickers. Could you change them back to the original colours?!

Ahhh just a little tint to them so they dont stick out on a sore thumb on the air intake is all. But I will tell him if he must.

Quote from evilpimp :

You do have a good chance of winning. It's not hard... Your 21st, there will be a caution within the first 20 laps without a doupt, by that time I bet you'll be about 10th. Second caution will come some day and then you'll get about 5th and there you can lead easily. You've got the pace and its a long race, qual doesn't mean that much in oval because of the ammount of cautions lol.

Only problem with your theory is that he might be in that 1st caution trying to get to 10th.

I love your name for the last race of the season, Clockwise 300....

KY3 hmmm this should be fun. Almost makes me wanna go run some laps now.

Quote from evilpimp :

The headphone part, I completly agree. It was Greg who had the speakers on and we'd hear the cars, the others talking over him and all. It would be cool to have a system were whenever someone talks it cuts off all the others so that they cant speak at the same time. :P I doupt its possible though xD.

Vent can do that, but if I remember right and i'll have to look on my vent server only admins have that ability.

Quote from BranislavS :

I'm not sure if you didn't heve your day or not ,but you were quiet danger on track (from my point of view).

Not me only time I can think of was when i was 2 laps down at the restart when i got loose with a car on the inside and outside of me. Other then that I pretty much rode around in the back.

Quote from BranislavS :

sorry for leaving ,but two times i was hit and i start to be angry.

Btw no investigatin for #88 ?

What for?

Quote from dekojester :

Pass should be off now.

d

Well wasn't working for me last night keep telling me I had the wrong password......

Deko its giving me wrong password

TFalke can you add the USA flag in there somewhere for me?
