New Busse Bash thread (old one too long)!

[Thirdgen89GTA]

Considering its a public parking lot, which none of us own no one really has a right to say who can and cannot run. The only previous time I've ever jumped on someone about behaviour is when they started trying to drag race RC's against 1:1 cars in the parking lot. That would have brought the cops down on us faster than anything else.

We do not own the parking lot, we are not officially sanctioned by Kohls to run there either. It is a bash, and no one has the right to deny someone a chance to run the oval. Dom may own the lap timer systems, but he doesn't own the pavement its sitting on. If you want to play race official, I suggest talking to Kohls and getting permission to run there. Don't forget the liability insurance that Kohls will require too. Only then will someone have authority to say who can and cannot run.

The incident with the Tboned cars was because someone cut ACROSS the lane when people were running the oval. Which is not the same as touching during a lap. Racing involves adjusting to the traffic around you, if you are truly faster you will still win. If laptime is your only concern then run it SCCA Solo style, 1 car on the track at a time, aka qualifying. Drive around the slower cars, they are slower, you will pass them, even lap them. Its what every other professional race driver deals with. Take a look at LeMans racing, multiple car classes on the course at the same time. GT1, GT2, P1, P2, those drivers deal with slower, less capable cars on the track without an issue.

The sad part in all this is that I wasn't even running that night, just watching. I was upset because someone ELSE wasn't being allowed to run, and given 15 minutes instead of a 10 second shotgun decision he would have cleaned up his stuff and run without issue.
