"Where's my point-by?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!"
 
I found this from a track day on another forum. The driver of the S2000 camera car was getting quite frusted when stuck behind a Mustang who was not looking in his mirrors and holding him up in the corners while pulling away on the straights. The resulting screaming and multiple hand gestures from the frustrated driver was quite amusing:

F'n hilarious!!!

I thought maybe there was a horse fly in his cockpit, then maybe pointing at the station worker saying "You da Man!", but then it became clear............

It would have been perfect to see the Stang pass him on the straight after all of that!

he seemed pretty pissed, I hope I don't wind up on track with either of them

what a moron ...

could have been worse, as soon as he got by they could have thrown the checkered.

Wow...

Surprised nobody has pointed this out, but the red group is open passing.I've never been in one that required a "point by". Looks to me like the dude in the camera car needed to grow a set, and just make the pass. Instead he just appears as a spastic whiner.{thumbup}

^Seriously the guy in the s2000 isn't even close to the mustang. Stay locked (and I mean locked) on his bumper for 1/2-1 lap then start complaining.

HPDE are great but a lot of people have no idea how to make a real race pass like in the SCCA.

I don't know what happened to his comments but I posted that exact question. WTF is he waiting for a point-by for? :lol:

It's really tough to make a pass if you're driving a car that handles better but has less power. Really the only way is to either wait for the guy up front to make a mistake or dive bomb the corner, which is a no-no at HPDEs.

I've also noticed that the size of your cojones is directly proportional to the waddability of your car and the guy's car you're trying to pass. Go watch a 24 hours of lemons race if you want to see some ballsy stuff.

The guy driving s2000 is a moron. If this is HPDE type racing, then all he was doing - pushing Mustang to do something stupid. I know the mustang guy should have been watching his mirrors and be courteous to the guy in S2000, but again it's not a race. If s2000 guy was somewhat smart, after realizing that the guy in a mustang is a noob he should have either slowed down to give himself more open room again or just pitted and re-entered the track. This should not be handled in this manner at HPDE events

There's also the option of pulling into hot pit, letting the guy get half a track, then pulling back on. Even the fastest guys use it as an option if they have a train in front of 'em ,and would rather spend their time on a clear track, rather than cutting through traffic.
In any event, neither of 'em looked like they belonged in the red group.
Kinda funny that the S2000 dude would think posting the vid on the web would be a good idea.

Scrutinize all you want - it's pretty funny:lol:
