Nicely put. Wish it would have happened yesterday but oh well.

There is however a rule about not intentionally cutting the track. And I don't believe swear words are appropriate on the drivers stand either. There are kids up there....

That's a good reminder and I can't say I'm not guilty.

I had easily the worst day of RC racing in my short career Saturday. After getting crushed in the shin by a buggy while courtesy marshaling resulting in lacerations and a huge bruise, not finishing both qualifiers and getting mugged by lap traffic in the B Main I was having trouble keeping my language age appropriate. Not an excuse. I'll clean it up (although I can't imagine you were just speaking to me).

does the video show you in CJ in a battle, then you missing the triple and cutting the track, and not waiting but instead continue driving as if that was ok to do, hows the sound on the video, can you hear all the boos and brian telling you to wait, you did stop, but right in the middle of the driving line, (not off to the side where most people pull over) when CJ hit your rear tire trying to go around and flipped, you took off, CJ should have had that position. if not for you cutting the track, CJ would have never ran over you.
end of story.

The story actually goes for another 1 or 2 laps, I don't remember, But when the corner mashal advanced some ones car into a favorable position after that car crashed, which kept it ahead of CJ's car... At that point, Geo and CJ would have bumped...

Ya Geo cut the track, he stopped 2 corners later and waited. Granted he shouldn't have stopped in the line, but he stopped as soon as Brian said "George stop"... and thats where he happened to be... He sat there, and waited for CJ to pass and gave him the time to pass and recover his spot. But CJ hit his car that was not moving and spiraled off it, at that point, George had waited for CJ had to catch up and made an effort to let him go by, however CJ had crashed doing so. At that point George left.

It's all POV... Sure he should have stopped at the base of the triple, however I think almost every person that cut the triple like that, either didn't stop (which were what the boo's were for) and the people that did stop, stopped about where George did.

Does the way that it turned out suck? Yes, I'll agree to that, but stuff like that happens in the main events.... I think the later event decided it more than anything...

Also, did you see who it was that started the issue and punted Geo off the triple?

I'm not really all that worried about it..
I wasn't the one that yelled "FUCK THIS" on the driver stand and started going nuts.
I didn't expect or deserve to be in the A anyway. I haven't put in nearly enough prep time for that race...and installing the BL system the night before and not having any practice on it was a bad move on my part.

And if you are referring to me bumping the back of geo's car when we went throuh the chikane just after the table top after the sweeper...all three of us were piled up right there and I was checking up. If I had spun him out, i would let him go.

I'd like to see this video though...
