Wow!!! ^^^ Glad you are alright. I bet the flagman was heading for cover!

[seckerich]

Driver in front moved right to block, then went left. Blocking in every sense of the term. Sucks to be that needy of a trophy to wreck someone.

[Marlboro Mafia]

It wasn't me. It was George Munson flying and Andrew Anderson blocking.

[Charles Perry]

wow, sad thing was I don't think it was even for a trophy, they were further back in the pack.

[tnord]

this is one of those incidents i'd probably lose my membership over. with the car being totaled, and me out of racing anyway, i'd probably walk over and punch the a-hole right in the face, then hand over my lisc and membership to the stewards on my way out the gate.

[JeffYoung]

Unbelievable. Someone could have really gotten hurt in that mess.

[Andy Bettencourt]

Just seeing a black YT square. Anyone post the link?

The Z-car, RX-7 video was cool. Man that Z motor sounded SMOOTH.

[JeffYoung]

Vid is on youtube. I'll e-mail it to you.

Usually I think you over-react. But I am with you on this one.

The tires in the rear view mirror and the muffled "A--hole!" at the end add to the video.

And yet another hit by the green RX7:

Whoops, posted the above using Ron's user name on his computer. My bad.

I posted the above. Just want to be clear on that.

[Charles Perry]

Wow, looks familar!! Another club member........! How many virgins are left out there, can't be many.

[SPiFF]

Maybe we can get a body shop to sponsor us?

[Parrish57]

Unbelievable!! The dude has hit everything out there but the pace car. Look out pace car..... I'm shocked that nobody has writen paper on him for rough driving. Just about anyone in the field could have. I'm guilty too. If I had my video camera working at the SIC I would have. We all need to get the cameras working and do what has to be done. He's going to hurt someone... The sick part is that he really believes he's one of the best drivers out there!!??

Zsolt! Nice save!

Wow, looks familar!! Another club member........! How many virgins are left out there, can't be many.

[JeffYoung]

Great save...that's a fast, fast entry. I thought you were in the tires for sure.

[Ron Earp]

Not me. Deflowered here but it was gentle and only a dent and scrape, thankfully. Others behind me were not so fortunate

Ron,
I've never run on the track with the Green RX-7, but it dosn't look like he intended to spin then hit you. Who out there hasn't spun? I know I've spun in traffic and hit people & I've hit people who were spinning in traffic. It happens, stinks but still happens.
Makes me wonder how many people hate my driving: not that I'm gona lose sleep over it.

Zolt's crash however... He might have been a little optimistic. Stinks for Zolt... I hope he apologized. But that Integra was too perfect (jk)

Hey Ben,

No doubt, you are correct and I'm sure he didn't want to hit anyone. However when similar episodes are repeated over various weekends one starts to detect a trend. As you can read I'm not the only person to express concern, in fact I was probably one of the last to become concerned. I enjoy IT racing, enjoy the people that I race with, and I hope to continue for a long time into the foreseeable future. But bumping and hitting have no place in IT, for a variety of reasons, particularly for some of us who race "IT Dinosaurs" for which parts are hard to obtain. Our cars don't take hits like modern Miatas, Integras, and even RX7s do.

Zolt really did well at RA. Zolt has been getting faster over the past year that I've been on track with him and he's really making the FWD Integra sing. Enough so that I'm convinced they don't need any stinking weight off for FWD!!!
