We go side by side into T1, completely even. Im on the outside and at the very edge of the track. He tracks out and bumps me. No big deal. I pass him, and the next lap he passes me on the straight and gives me the finger as he does.
After the race I asked him what that was about, and he proceeds to cause a scene and start yelling right in the middle of the paddock lane about how I hit him, how its my fault, how I had no right to be there, etc. He even said at one point that I turned in on him. I told him with equal stern-ness that we were side by side, I had every righ t to be there and if blame was to be assigned, it was he who tracked out into me. I grabbed my video but he had no interest in seeing it (ie- the truth)
I went around to several people and showed them the video, including Alex and asked for honest opinion. Every one of them said either racing-no big deal, or he tried to squeeze me.
I had a great time, it was probably some of the most fun Ive had in a race, but it really left a sour taste in my mouth and spoiled any good feeling I had about the race

That guy was a douche, don't let it spoil your mood. He will probably never come back. I was waiting for you to land one to his temple. There were 5-6 of us just standing behind him waiting for you two to throw down. His ass would have been dirt so fast he would be wishing it was a miata that hit him.

we all know there is always going to be the A-hole. Good for you to seek an objective opinion. you can sleep well knowing you aren't the one who is a di*k
Did you beat him?

Great weekend! Despite blowing both front shocks the XR community came through with some replacement Koni yellows! Wow huh?

Perfect weather, good crowd, and my car is home in almost prerace condition. I'm more rejuvinated today than I have been in a long time.

Thanks to RJ for the tips. I consider my first HPDE 3 experience a success due to survival, passing lots, and getting passed rarely.

Time to get the suspension on the car done right and get some real tires.

I had a great time doing it - thats now my "official" job 8)

"Ryan Jenkins, please report to the moon bounce immediately. Bring $7"

I heard something about yugos and exlax and popped tires....didnt get all of it, but anything involving exlax and yugos must be hilarious.

That was some lame-ass shit the vendors wrote up. It was truly awful.

I'm going to watch "Good Morning Vietnam!" for inspiration a few times before VIR :twisted:

John did a fantastic job and I got a kick out of the moonbounce comment. Thanks also to Pete and Allison for getting him to announce my birthday, that was very nice.

I had a very good weekend. The 240 took the abuse like a champ, I got to play with my lines and adjust corner entry/exit routes, which was really interesting. I love group 3 in that we can pass anywhere (usually me getting passed, but whatever), and I even managed to sack up enough to do some position changes in the carousel and turn 9 by the end of sunday (refused to do that ever before and was the only place on that track that I was nervous before this weekend)

You have big sack if you can pass around the outside of T9 without even lifting.

Miatas make good practice for this. I still lift a little.

Dave · 07-10-2006, 06:17 PM

the most I ever did was a pass on the inside of 9. The hardest part about it was that it was a miata who didn't seem to really want to give it up, so it was hard for me to determine when I was past them, so I stayed on the inside through 10 as well. Fun experience, but showed me that I've got a lot to learn in terms of placement of my car in relation to the rest of the track. I'm so used to people blowing by me in an instant, it was a whole new experience to actually pass somebody, not to mention that we were hanging together for so long.

damn right! i was actually about to ask about why that guy hit your door in the video from the other hyperfest thread, and then saw this. to think someone would place blame on you in a racing situation for positioning yourself like that should be given a swift kick in the ass and sent on their way. props to you for being the better man and maintaining some maturity, i can only hope i would have in that situation.

Add Linds on the list as well, please. She refuses to get sucked into the MM forum, so she isn't registered on our little registration, but she'll be doing group 1 as well.

I see someone just got sucked into the void :lol:

Lindsey · 07-13-2006, 09:03 AM

Ahh, yes. It's true. Something must have happened to me this weekend because when I came back from the track, I actually WANTED to surf the forum. (I think it's a brain tumor.) So, as this is my first post, I have officially been sucked in. Many congrats to all. :lol:
