Hopefully next yr the track will have transponders .... Maybe that will level out some of the silly driving ....
    Naw, doesn't change the driving much, but keeps the pit stewards on their toes making sure the transponders are where they're supposed to me and not running a dummy on the motor plate and the real one three feet forward... and yes, it has happened....and eventually they were caught...

      My buddy heard they might have a timing system in place next year to get rid of the lotto system ....The Transponders would let them be timed during hot laps .... You would rather draw a number for your starting spot in the heat races ?

              Ya know, racing isn't "checking up"... the guy on the inside is the one who should check up, he's the one that put his and the other car in danger... JMO

                That's interesting ... I keep hearing at that track the guy on the inside cant see the guy on the outside lane .... Now in the video it looks like the car on the inside was far enough in front to clear coming off 4 .... I also keep hearing the guy on the top needs to put his front bumper in view of the driver before he gets off the corner ... If he doesnt see a bumper hes ok to move up ....

                  Come on man, the guy that flipped was passing the car he clipped, he had to know that car was there and that he was sliding up to him.... clearly the guy that flipped has no complaints, he did it to himself...

                        You may be right ....Altho some drivers prefer passing clean ....Ya know w/o door slamming the other guy .... One guy did say he he everything but the concession stand. Im just asking the question ....Why is it I see the lucus oil drivers check up but not these guys ?

                              My worry is when you flip a guy like that & his car catch's fire he doesn't get out ..... Yea ... That will teach him a lesson .... Next time he wont slide up on you ....I wonder how bad you'd feel if that car was on fire ....

                                Lucas guys are pros......and do it every week for a living.

                                The weekenders don't have those same constraints and do it more for the thrill.......I guess the thrill for the 15 is to just run everybody over.

                                He just hasn't run over the right somebody yet.....these things have a way of working themselves out.
                                Where is the move over flag when you need it?????
