What I noticed is that you were just banned for post whoring among other things. Why not let the road racers talk by themselves. Its like Thanksgiving; Go sit at the kids table for awhile.

What kind of car do you race?

I'm not a road racer yet, but have watched numerous one's. For me, not being a racer, I can see how he was positioning to pass the other guy on the straight. So, he was determined and went for it, which is why he didn't see the flag. Very unfortunate accident, whereas I don't see how being a "miata driver" makes him guilty of anything.

I mean, I don't know how experienced the miata driver is...

BUT...just from being a normal driver, I would think that seeing the first car in the grass (at about 0:32 in the video) would make someone look slightly over in that direction and see the yellow flag.

So I take it that you are a pro driver then? Wait a minute....Your not?.....Maybe it is you that should take a seat at the kids table along side of me. You might actually learn some manners.

Unless you've been up to Blackhawk, Autobahn, or Grattan, you won't have seen me racing (I run with NASA and Midwest Council right now and not YET with SCCA).. and just practice open track days I've had my miata at Mid-O, Road America, Gingerman, Nelsen Ledges, Milwaukee Mile, and Waterford Hills.

BUT here is the photo for you:

(the front driver fender wrinkle is from when a race set up 2002 BMW was a moving chicane and cut me off when I had the right of way passing him in a turn (never mind that he wasn't even in my class) -- he hates spec miata's BTW... imagine that?)

OT:

It's what I hate about YouTube, especially with Rally clips...man, the internet is filled with Monday Night Quarterbacks. Especially people that have never even set foot on a (non drag strip) track.

Oh, I thought you might have been to Nashville or Road Atlanta. Those are the only tracks I have worked.
But I only work SCCA events lol.
