@@MidgetRacer8192 Car #49 takes a clean defensive line into 5, braking center-track, which causes him to miss apex of 5, but also leaves him perfectly lined up to set up for 6 with a straight exit, no "sweeping" necessary. That far-driver's-left entry to 6 is the same as he strives for most laps; only #92 seems to prefer a shallower entry to 6. If 92 was paying attention he might have had this filed away and known he had no shot whatsoever at a clean pass at entry to 6, certainly not when the track narrows by a car width between exit of 5 and entry of 6, as a track walk or Google Sat. will show. Car 92 barely got his front wheels past 49's back wheels, nowhere near peripheral vision range, much less front wheel to front wheel.
@@prostwest I am the green car. the white can definitely blew turn 5 & went wide. I did not, which allowed me to get well beyond his rear tire between 5 & 6, so the "no sweeping" line is off the table for him at that point (even though he swept). I was going off track & was off the throttle to avoid him once I realized he was still coming over... and if he still climbed over the back of my front tire, that shows my point. it does not matter if I could not make an outside pass on entry there... it slows his exit, or gets him to bobble thru 6 from pinching it down, or gets us side by side for the left hander coming up in turn 8. bottom line, is you cannot blow a corner & still expect to have the entire track to just swing across on. I was more than far enough up & was supposed to have been left room. he just wasn't looking my direction. I am not mad at him or anything, but I completely disagree with the fault being put on me. and I had several phone calls from rather high-level people that agreed with me & they pushed to appeal it... but I didn't really know who to appeal to, since we are an independent group & I had already missed my window. I think it is basically just a racing deal, and he lost track of me. same as like the 9:48 mark with the blue car.
@@MidgetRacer8192 Yep, I clicked through after I last posted and realized you were he. A classic dynamic I see in racing is the adrenaline pump that fires in the trailing car when the car in front appears to make a big mistake. It's often surprising just how quickly a car on a bad line can pick up WOT and lose a lot less time than seemed inevitable. In this case, he found himself way out by the Driver's-right exit curb, BUT pointed right where he knew he wanted to be for 6, not sliding, and carrying nice exit speed because he had widened the radius. by the time the clock ticks from 19 to 20 seconds, he had clearly unwound lock, not added it. Trevor was a lot closer to the same pass in a similar situation but he could tell that the left track boundary was narrowing him into #49 and he backed out. The racing incident where 100% fault can be assessed is rare, and certainly there's all kinds of gray here. I'm just a random internet voice, but I'd suggest you reexamine your assumption that just because you are tossing a hail-Mary the well-ahead driver is supposed to be driving completely in his mirrors and leaping off his preferred line to give you a red carpet. The onus is on the passing driver to GET to the point that he's earned that car width, and not send it if he won't. That fundamental rule is universal in racing for one big reason: in it's absence, a lot more people get hurt.
DAMN!!!!!!!!! BIIG T, That was crazy.
the amount of oil smoke coming out of every car during gear changes seems really excessive.
They are built fairly loose as far as engines go. It helps with getting the rpms up however certainly the oil spewing out the back sucks
Second Cup race I've watched, second race where #92 puts a corner in between somebody else's wheels. At least this time it wasn't you. Nice run.
This time he was penalized and I took the win.
that will happen when people sweep across the track & violate the rule of "leaving 1 car width"
