exceeding pit speed

4 posts by 4 people · 25 Jan 1996 - 04 Feb 1996

This has happened to me twice now............I don't know how i do it but during the race every time I pass the pit road I get black flagged for exceeding the pit speed! I go for a stop and go and the next time I get flagged again! Whats up wit that? The only thing I can do is ignore the flag and take a DQ and wait for the rest of the field to finish the race. What a drag. And no I'm not confusing the pit road for the track! Blaine

If your inside tires are low enough on the apron when you come around by the pit entrance, sometimes it will flag you, but I've never had this happen to me when I was driving near an optimum line. Also, once you stop and go, you cannot travel over 55 until you leave the pit lane or you will be flagged again. Also, do not come barreling into the pits for a stop and go. If you enter the pits at above 55, even if it's to serve the penalty, you will be swiftly awarded another.

Blaine, It sounds like you are exceeding the pit speed limit during the yellow flag stop. Remember, the black flag only comes out once the race returns to the green. You are not being flagged on the lap you see it but from the infringement maybe 3 or 4 laps before. Cheers, Craig. ************************************************************** * Canberra, Australia * **************************************************************
