Hehe, well, everyone whent apeshit each time something unfair happend, but then the "unfair" is defined by the one beeing hurt / who lost something in the incident(s). I don't think there are any hard feelings. As me and some of the swedish guys said to eachothers - when we get back we'll get so drunk we don't even care, and trust me - that did happend. Speaking on a more normal language I think everyone agrees on that what's happens on track stays on track.
Proves that every man getting behind a computer can be an ****.
I am sure that when Arox is back he'll be a good lad. I did not speak much with him, but I am just left with good opinions about him after the meeting.
I slowed up more than most under yellow. I followed drivers who stayed flat out. I didn't. I eased off, and I always past the incident slowly (and on full throttle to be fast after it).
Going by laps complete in race 1 28 seconds doesn't sound like a great lap, but then again most of race 2 I was swapping karts and constantly had cold tyres. I recall 1 yellow where Marshall 1 stopped waving the flag and ever me through, but Marshall 2 was putting his flag away as I got to him. No idea if that's the same lap - or if you timed me when I had the kart limited to half throttle.
I wasn't aware anyone had complaints over my driving or conduct under yellow. Seems there is some frustration in this threa though.
Please if there is any incident talk to me about it - preferably soon after it next time. I'm happy to admit when I'm wrong or made an error.
From this weekend just gone I don't recall any such incidents.
Becky, I think I remember the situation they are refering to.
What's happend was that you passed this guy before a yellow flag post. But it were in between the yellow flag zones. If that should be counted as passing under yellow I don't know. The first flag were on the long straight, then the other were in the tight turn, some people might misunderstood and beliving they were in the zone from tight turn - start/finish since those patchs are side by side.
I don't know, might be a other situation, but that's the only one that seems making sence. But since the marshals didn't manage to wave properly / giving clear signals I don't think you can be blamed for this.
Edit: Sorry for posting this much in this topic, it's just one of the topics that's actually is a good conversation and that brings forth many opinions
Edit: A pint for you Jason next time. Sorry for the pool thingy, please let me know if there will be need for some repair on it, I'll cover those
I remember in the enduro race, I had 3 cars ahead by a little distance under yellows. I watched the track ahead, saw the yellows go, and passed all 3.
A totally legitimate move, but the look on their races was priceless
Also @ TVE - no price whatsover for repairs to my house as I do all the work myself, and tbh, a little filling and painting is to be expected. If it makes you feel better, you can buy me a pint next time :P
BUT.... If you guys had ripped my pool table, that would be a different story
The fastest lap i timed in the 2nd race was actually 27.53 by Arox, Bob was doing consistant 28.4 - 28.6's and Brood was doing not quite as consistant 27.9's - 28.5's
Whereas i was doing 30.5's on my good laps!
I know your kart was doing an occasional high 27's but mostly 28.2 - 28.4's when you were in it, i remember timing dan doing a few 28.9's
So the 28 - 29 second mark was the pace.
If it helps theres a Haagen-Dasz ice cream in your freezer
I totally scraped my knees and lower legs while beeing dragged through that hatch, so i would recommend You to get some lists on the other side until next year so it won't hurt so much when i'm getting the same treatment
as for the pints - anytime, anywhere i would buy You the whole pub
