There were 12 cautions, so that tells me your "don't do this" report was incomplete. How about all the other incidents? Stills from the replay are pointless because it shows just a fraction of a second in a relatively long string of events that led to the picture you eventually snapped. You're better off keeping it to factual text descriptions based on time frame location and participants of ALL incidents, including the resulting problems for people caught up in the incident through no fault of their own or refusal to act according to what they see out of their windsheild, whether they caused a caution or not. Some of these guys don't like being told they screwed up - even if it was obvious that they screwed up (you should have learned that when I did that race report last season). This is just a little advice from someone who tried the same thing (and imho, made a better attempt), and eventually got butt-fucked for caring enough to try to fix it.

Well done Ed, and also well done Grub and others who responded in good style. Achim "Ed Solheim" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:3f64d9e6$[email hidden]... > I just opened a can of worms... come take at what not to do in a race.. > :o)...

What I wanted to do was to show another angle of things and let people reflect over how they got into that ["scary"] situation. Well, apart from Grub's escapdes that is - 'cause that really pissed me off. 3 or 4 cars spun out just because he failed to stop the car [doing 12mph] - twice. Good to see your keeping track of things John! :o) -- ed_

Ed you cry baby. For heavens sake dude, how would you feel if you were punted a couple of times, saw a lapped car jump the restart (you), and after the last punt, just freeking didn't put the brake on because I thought all the cars were already passed? Besides, my sin wasn't as nearly as bad as your sins. na na na na na My goodness, i made a mistake. come on and let it die. One thing though, please dont quit on us again. Nobody likes quitters. :) grouchy grubo "Ed Solheim" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:3f65e0b3$[email hidden]...
