Denny, I noticed after you were spun and came to stop you were on a racing line... then you looked left, saw cars coming, popped the clutch to get your car off-track and to safety. GREAT JOB! Very professional and solid run.

@@Racer_X Hey Denny... Rob again... I saw the guy who caused the spin was DQ'd. He deserved it but was it just for the dunk spin on you? Or was it for his lousy decision to try what you did safely? In your rearview I saw him throw himself into gear and right into the path of a competitor. I raced sprint cars for 6 years (late 80s, early 90s). Not what an educated driver would do knowing 3 cars were less than 30 yards away!

he definitely didn't cross the line first (you can see the car that hit him in front before they get to the line at 30:40 if you pause it and go forward frame by frame) but he says he was awarded the win anyway. the officials obviously saw the same things you did.

My racing experience is all on bicycles, but you'd be surprised at the similarities. Your worst "enemy" (i.e., strongest competitor) becomes your best friend during the race, you work together as much as you can to get away from the other riders. Then, when last lap comes around, your former best friend becomes your friendly enemy and it's each man for himself. Afterwards you're best buds again -- until the next race.

I really don't get what the other driver was thinking. You exited the corner and briefly tried to cover his inside move, then realized he was coming hard and so you clearly moved left to leave him tons of racing room to the finish line. You were still heading leftward when he hit you from the right rear in the middle of the track.. like.. what? Was he trying to rub you on purpose or something? Or maybe more nefariously he really did intend to spin you and make it look like a racing incident? Glad you got awarded the win. Nice job!

Geez, another video with guys who think this is NASCAR... Terrible place to make contact, and uncalled for, dude had multiple laps to make it happen. I guess this is why they call is "spec wreck". Having run open wheels in FF, there would never be this kind of behavior, risk is too great.. Enjoy watching your races, true professional!
@Racer_X
@Racer_X 2 жыл бұрын
Yep. What looked like a pit maneuver originally actually wasn’t. He just got too close trying to side draft and we touched tires and the toe link on my knuckle snapped which put me in the spin. Regardless, contact that never should have happened, but it very easily could have been a puff of tire smoke and no harm, no foul. Unfortunately it wasn’t. Thanks for watching!!
