Ive come to bigger conclusion pantie stain still fits,ps plaese respond ds

[FTodaro]

No other comments on SG's in-car?!?

OK, I'll go - before contact it doesn't appear his car moved right or left, looks arrow straight to me. Lot of name calling a couple weeks ago, does this view change anyone's mind?

Should he have backed-off because he wasn't far enough along side of JD? Not my call.

It would be helpful if the video showed his hands. When I had a NASA incident and they were trying to figure out which one of us to send to the wood shed that was the first thing they told me was to move my camera view back so you can see the steering wheel, it is difficult to draw good conclusions without it.

He's trying to show you his set-up guy isn't just good looking, good tempered, honest and so-on.

What a save Danny!!! That was sick!

Why would Gorilla's wheels ever turn right there?

Gee Kyle, if you're going into a left-hand turn which side of the track would you typically prefer to be on entry?

Gee whiz Denny for me that answer is simple, which ever side the car I am trying to put a pass move on gives me. Seems everyone in GL passes me just that way Aw Shucks if I give them the inside they stick it in on the inside and hope they make it stick, or they have second thoughts and back out.

I answered your post because you ask me to, not to start another debate with you. Everyone here has a brain, even you Denny. Draw your conclusions and let it alone. As I posted way back which everyone disregarded is Gorilla has a lot of passion for this sport and SM, he wants to win and wants to win real bad, like all the others at the front, hell I am slow as a snail and I want to win real bad to. I simply felt he may have let his emotions get the best of him, but havent we all? I know I have!

Answer this post with whatever smart *ss comment you want this is my last post on this crap. Peace out and Merry halloween!

[JRHille]

IMO....He was just way too close to Jim before braking. Any oscillation of either car at that point would cause contact. Playing with inches doesn't always turn out well. If he just was left a couple more inches...

[pat slattery]

Those guys were driving as if it was the last lap, last turn for the win.

I will bet in hind site they both wished they would have driven that first lap differently.

[Zauskycop]

Sorry, but I see Gorilla's car fading to the right trying to get as much room as possible/get close to JD. Watch the left side of the track as it travels to the right along the hoodline. Easy to see he is moving. I agree, that I would love to see the steering wheel there.

[ner88]

OMG, Why are you all looking to blame Gorilla? What the hell is Drago doing over there?
Bottom line, blocking! Call it a defensive line or what you will but that's not the line for the next turn.
How long was Jim going to stay over there?
Sorry but Jim set it up and got the worst of it! That's it!
Now, everyone back on your knees and continue the lip service!
Geez!

[AJ Roderick]

Who cares WHY he was running that line. Last time I checked you don't have to run one certain line. He chose a line and stayed with it. That is not blocking. Considering the actions of SG before the race was even started, he had already dug himself a hole on this one.

[ner88]

So, what you're saying is regardless of what happened, it's what happened prior to the race!
If you look again at Danny's video, you can clearly see Steve start right and Drago move right, then Steve went left and Drago followed.
If that aint blocking??

[AJ Roderick]

No I'm saying his actions before the race certainly aren't helping him with the issue during the race.

Based off the videos that I saw, the track had wet spots. I have never personally raced at RA but I know that your line will be different when the track is wet. When Drago was going up the hill under the bridge, he moved his line and drove wide in the corner. Is that blocking or driving a wet line? The first few laps it seemed everyone was trying to find a fast line with the track being wet. Would that be considered blocking?

[ner88]

I have driven RA.
How come we don't see anyone else driving that line?
I also understood they were both warned about contact!

[JP3]

I been in both postions cant say I would not have driven any differently .You know that theirs a million dollars at stake here

[Andrew Charbonneau]

come on arm chair worriers plase be adv you wernt there I was both wanted that cornor wheels touched gorrilla never lifted pay atten. I see that danny new what was going to happen and so did I he went left I went wide right wake up watch the vidio one more time it was dragos cornor you must lift if you cannot complete the pass as a good racer would like myself.

[Andrew Charbonneau]

Danny by the way you still suck driving over your head and saving the car every time does not make you fast

At T6 Jim took the wet line & Steve took the dry line & it was like Steve was shot out of a cannon between T6 & T7 to close to Jim's rear bumper. Block right, block left & a bit more left,, then Karma took over. T5 to T6 was also interesting from the stands when the field caught up.
