Maybe watch your mirrors next time instead of listening to the music... You held 2 of the cars up for couple laps....

It was my only dry practice

it kind of sucks how they run the series...

there isnt enough emphasis on flagging, etc... so if people are new, they arent always aware... and redline requires no sort of racing license...

so you cant blame sharkbite.....

they moved a couple of us into the unlimited group for practice because because we were being held up by other mod cars... it all goes along...

See this is what I'm talking about... Just because you crank out 500+ whp on the straight doesn't mean you're fast

I was Silver Evo behind PTuning yellow evo, he was catching up to you through the corners, but then you would walk away from him on the back straight.


To CBRD:
I understand the whole thing with time attack, issue has been brought up before, but I don't know if it's me or not, but the way I have been taught - if you're slow through corners, let people pass, it's not drag racing. All events I have been practicing with advanced group, but I know I am a moving barrier for unlimited cars, that's why I decided to stick to intermediate group at this track (due to the size of the track)... Like I said it was pretty much only dry practice

BTW, thanks for the spark plugs, unfortunately I wasn't able to fix the issue at the track

Cool nice, at it's 600awhp

to me I was doing well, my first time at the track alot of fast car's I was being more than respectful letting guy's pass me but like I said if I saw you was slow and I'm a head like 4-5 car lenghts that enough for me to keep the lead.

Sorry if you felt you was faster and I didn't let you pass.

From the video's I could tell the same as what Chad and Slick were seeing. But also looking at RL's sched, it's not like they've been picking decent tracks with enough runoff and room to preform such manuvers safely. Then again, one could argue "its racing" (even though it's not really close) and you would need to make the move if you want the time.

Everything I have been talking about was done in practice sessions, there no need to make a move, RTA also wanted point by's
