I think I'm going to have to get used to the way some yanks think.
Was running a consistent 4th. A class A driver comes up to me and can't get by... I can see him getting frustrated, but I'm holding my line which doesn't give him many choices to pass... I think it's good defensive driving.
He doesn't. turns me around exiting 4, I get 2x and he gets nothing, all cause he's frustrated and can't pass.
Anyone else get this regularly? I told him I wasn't happy with his driving and his excuse was there was no other way. Sure I made it hard, but he wasn't trying any other lines to manufacture a pass. very disappointing.
i know,there are very few drivers out there that understand that when passing is too dangerous it is simply is too risky,it may cause damage to the car(expensive) or even injuries...so yea i learnt to let them pass...plus i find putting pressure on the pilot infront very exciting....
yea Istvan,i think i made a decision ,,,i will run the riley season,,,almost got the radical though,but yea see you on the track...of course i will run the dallara too if i can...by the way today i was in 3d (with the dallara) 10 laps to go the guy behind me was at some 34 sec.....brain fart and i damaged the suspension(a very small incident),race finished.(i have not learnt to relax and take the car home bah i am a noob).....i cried for 5 min,i feel better now,shame cause i really like driving it and with my pb of 1:10.6 at barber i feel very confident,the ovals races spoilt everything......ta!!
