Being I'm not a texter, I don'thave a clue what,   means, help.

It has nothing to do with texting.  It is html code that means "Non Breaking SPace".

Jim, you'd know Greg and Guy if they were in the area. They'd be raising hell with someone in a devilish manner. One day Kenny and I went to the Kannard refreshment cooler (after last flag of course), no cooler, went straight to Greg's garage and there was the cooler with a note taped to the cover, please ask before taking a refreshment. There great guys and they do the same stuff to run at the front that everyone else does. 

 

 

Ok Todd, I'll bite a second time, "Non Breaking SPace"????

If you have to ask....when someone says "html code"....you're not going to like or even care about the answer.  But, here you go:

 

http://en.wikipedia....-breaking_space

http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/nbsp

http://www.w3schools...ml_entities.asp

 

What it means, usually,  is that someone cust and pasted some text from a web page into the forum editor.  The forum editor doesn't interpret the &nbsp html entity and so it show up as raw html code instead of just inserting a space. 

 

Are you sorry you asked, yet?

I guess I was too nerdy that I made my "html code" a hyper link explaining all of it.  You just had to click on it Dave.  Of course there is always this:

question:  Blocking and/or protecting your position legal in EP?  I seem
to have missed something, cuz If I do that then I should be expecting
ramification of my own actions.

That must be painfully hard too watch the rx3 and z-car drive in the middle of the track barely ever using the fast line and then pull away on the straights!! A comment was made earlier that the Miata is the car too have. It is my opinion the Miata drivers are the drivers too have!!! This is no suprise too me. Jim and Matt leagues again of the others involved!!

I watched the E Prod race live on Speedcast TV and recently rewatched again. I agree Matt was extremely fast. He did make at least 3 mistakes however. He spun, bumped the RX3 and the 260Z to get back to the front. Even after bumping Ira on the last lap he only beat Greg back to the line by less than a second. He didn't drive away and win by several seconds. Greg ran his fastest laps on the 12th & 13th laps. So there is little doubt the bump allowed him to win. He hit cars hard enough to put a hole in the front end of the Miata as was shown after the race during his interview. It would have been nice to see them race to the flag with no bumping. I guess we'll never know. Congrats Greg for wheeling the old Z car to the win. You have worked hard and deserve it.

Lap times for EP. To say the RX3 & Z car driver were slow is ridiculous.

Not a very good argument above...while carving his way through the field, Matt turned 8 laps that were faster than the Z car's fastest lap.

 

Three mistakes?  Really?  Getting into the RX3 while trying to defend from Daniels behind was a function of figuring out that different types of cars have different braking and cornering abilities.  It's kinda silly to criticize the guy in the low power/handling car because he has to try to get by in the corners, but then praising the guy that has the car that just cruises by on the straight. 

 

I thought I heard the Canada Corner issue was due to oil.

 

The last lap incident looks like a racing incident when the slower car decides to defend off the racing line.

 

Again, I'm posting as a racing fan and supporter of SCCA racing.  No one supports intentional contact as a way to improve a position.  Likewise, I hope we don't support a philosophy where "racing" is discouraged out of fear that a slight misjudgment could result in a penalty.

Uhhh I don't remember him wheeling his way to a win. I think the correct phrase was he "wrote" his way to a win.
