If this happens again, I think most of us, at least myself and Dell, will definitely pull into the hot pits and make it known that it should be addressed; there is absolutely no reason for that in Black.

If a driver doesn't have the SA to recognize faster cars coming through, then they are in the wrong run group...plain and simple..and its not about ego either; I've pointed by much slower cars than me before, often! :D

Re: First Settlers - VIR May 20-22
 

Yeah, my own fault for hanging in there for 6 laps :beatinghead: Others hit the pits and looked for space while I stayed the optimist thinking this can't go on much longer......

Me too. Anyone in my rear view is getting a point....well except for FTS of course:ballkicked:. Passing someone back is great fun!

Re: First Settlers - VIR May 20-22
 

As if I needed a point by from you; do I need to repost how you took off on the back straight? :D

Larry is not exaggerating with his screen name, "Landjet."

I also agree with Scott. If we run into issues, I will be a little more forthcoming to the drivers personally first, then to the chief if it persists. I actually generally enjoy the traffic more so than open track, keeps my concentration up. Traffic becomes an issue when the speed differences are too high. In red during Zone 2, although there were quite a number of cars, the speed differences weren't huge, and as Bman mentioned, drivers were better with situational awareness.

Todd:

When are you planning on hitting the road next week? You want to caravan?

Re: First Settlers - VIR May 20-22
 

We have to drop the dogs off at the kennel, so we won't be able to hit the road until about 1:30-2pm. If that works for you, I would be happy to caravan.

Re: First Settlers - VIR May 20-22
 

That may put us right into Richmond rush hour. I'll be in touch over phone as I know how my day is going, I may actually be late (as I always am hitting the road to VIR) and we may hook up ;)

Re: First Settlers - VIR May 20-22
 

Did you guys get the note about the cookout? What are your thoughts?

Re: First Settlers - VIR May 20-22
 

T minus 7 days and counting to loading up and heading out! I can't tell y'all how bad I need this track time.

Re: First Settlers - VIR May 20-22
 

Same here Dell. I am going to the cookout :). We'll have dinner on Friday and the cookout on Saturday, can't be better :D

Re: First Settlers - VIR May 20-22
 

The cookout will be perfect since the little ones (1 and 3) can run wild. LOL!!!!

Besides, Daddy is having serious track withdrawal..........

Re: First Settlers - VIR May 20-22
 

The bad news is the weather; predicting 50%+ rain on Thu, Fri and Saturday right now :(

Re: First Settlers - VIR May 20-22
 

Do not look at the weather!!!!!! The day before is when we can look. Until then it will just stress you out!!!!

Re: First Settlers - VIR May 20-22
 

:-))):-)))

So very true!

Re: First Settlers - VIR May 20-22
 

See...already changed for the better :D

Re: First Settlers - VIR May 20-22
 

LOLOL, the "science of weather." With all the uncertainty and little knowledge, there must be a lot of opportunity to make money in this. Too funny, thanks Scott, you made my day.
