On Road 7-24

Great day of racing. Thanks to Gus, Laska and Jeff. I hope I didn't irritate too many (Gus/Andy) with the 'car'nage at the end of open GT..... The racing was good. Gotta figure out the 1/10th's engine problems... or finally put the red dot in....

[wardle]

ever try not running into people?

[zootcapri]

Where have you been?

'try not hitting people' you may be onto something.

Actually the 'car'nage was after the race. Had you been there you'd known what happened

[wardle]

was watching same story as always

[zootcapri]

If only I was as perfect as you......

...So... anyone else think that I intentionally hack... seems that is what Ward is saying... just interested.

I had a wonderful time racing Saturday. Little demolition derby with Gus and Bill after the race was a kick!! Nothing was broken, amazingly!!!! Hey Bill, I am just happy you can come out and race with us. Little bit of paint exchange during race is inevitable

[wardle]

stirin it up to clean it up.........no hard feelins:)

[zootcapri]

Well Craig.. I am now confused... you say I hit people... same as always ... right... isn't that what a hack does.... By all means if I am thought of as a hack I need to find another hobby. I race hard. I have hit people... though (other than the 'car'nage) I can't think of an intentional hit. If I spin out in a corner and a car comes by and I hit it as I am trying to get out of the corner is that a hack. If the transmission that is barely holding together then comes loose is that hacking. If I drive agressively and someone turns infront of me and I can miss it... am I hacking...' same as always' isn't a passing comment. I see that didn't you comment on anyone else in that manner... like when an un-named driver... lets call him Andy hits me when I spin out in front of him messing up my throttle linkage... was that a hack. No... just racing.... Contact seems to be part of GT... has for the four years that we've run it...

Honestly Craig, I will never be as good of a driver as your are. I am just too old and my reflexes are not as quick... Maybe it is time for me to get out so that the racing can be 'cleaner'.

[wardle]

just sayin......trigger goes the other way.......

[zootcapri]

Great information. Fully worth the price paid.

What do the rest of you think?

[tcracer]

just sayin......trigger goes the other way.......

What does pushing it the other way do?

[spooky]

Zoot, you are and have always been a clean racer. Yes, we have had contact, but I'm sure I have hit you as often as you have hit me. You are welcome to swap paint with this old driver anytime. I thought the racing was a great time Saturday,(I won) Can't wait to do it again at the state champs.

What do the rest of you think?

I've found Zoot to be nothing but a gentleman on and off the race track. Always helpful, racing a good line, and competes to do the best can. Crap happens to everyone. Me particularly, lots of times I mess up and wreck somebody, (oops!! sorry!! you know who you are). Not because I'm trying, stuff just happens and mistakes are made. "Sorry" goes a long way. Wreckin' is racin'.
You guys should try Mini-Z's if you want to see some crashes! If you ask me it just comes with the territory.
