The 1st place guy went from mid corner and pinched down toward the pipe giving Ruona almost nowhere to go. HOWEVER, if you look at a freeze frame 10 seconds in you can see Ruona turning right into the left hand turn which sends him right into the 1st place guy. The driver's stand is to the right of this camera position it looks like, so he could see exactly where he was going.

I can't tell if it's shady or just an accident.

This is the kind of thing that happens every week in club racing. The race director probably should have had a restart for a big race.

So my question to you guys is: It's a big race and this happens to you. If you come out ahead do you keep going?

And does it matter if it was an accident or intentional? I'd say most of the time, they're accidents. Doesn't make it okay to just keep going.

I thought it was an accident until I saw his wheels turning right at the start of a left hand turn. We are breaking down something that happened in like 1 second though. It's possible he saw his line cut off and was trying to swerve back to the outside.

So I suppose at the end I am taking both sides of my own argument.

So yeap, big bore talk can resume. BIG BORES BIGBORESBIGBORESBIGBORESBIGBORESBIGBORESBIGBORESBI GBORES.

The guy leading took himself out, and very well could of taken the top 3 qualifiers out with that move.
Woah, didn't mean to start a big argument on the rights and wrongs of racing! Lol!

Anyways, I agree with FLHX1550.

I just wanted to know what would be a good starting point for AE big bore springs at my local track!
