Yes, it involves the 100% uncut, pure cheat Maxima

2) You didn't negotiate shit. I gave you 20 laps. You left black flag with 20 laps. Then, without me present, you got it down to 10 by donating a generator. For future ref, every time another team has donated anything we give them a get out of jail free card. But since you were so obsessed with laps, you fucked your entire team onto the trailer by worrying about laps instead of a get out of jail free pass. Oops!

In other words, "negotiating" for ten laps instead of twenty cost this team a few hours of racing.

Put another way, they would have completed more laps with a 20 lap penalty that the 10 laps they wound up with.

Interesting, no?

Johhny,

Yup hind site is 20/20 since we were all rookies we didn't know that.  We did get a get out of jail free card cuzz we passed tech the first time thru.  If we had known better, we would have negotiated for another card instead of the laps, but because of my pride I didn't think we would need TWO cards so I opted for a lap reduction.  You're right, bad call, I should have sought the advice of a seasoned vet and asked what THEY would do, I didn't.  FUDGE!!!

Jonny, to set the record straight we did have a get out of jail pass. Mr, mole lost it speeding in the padock apparently. John Pagel asked me to borrrow the generator. we still ,at that time had the G.O.O.J card. so I asked for a reduced BS lap penalty, and he asked if I had kneepads.LOL I took the ten laps. truth.. Nite nite

Re: MUSTED READING! I made a good point!

We went through tech clean with compliments, but got no GOOFJ card.

May we please have one for Sears?

Re: MUSTED READING! I made a good point!

Funny, I've done 4 races, and I've never heard of getting a get out of penalty free card just for passing tech on the first try (which we did). Is that a west coast phenomenon, or just some new incentive to help get 156 cars through tech quickly?

west-coast thing mainly. apparently people dunno how to use email, digital cameras, or the forum to help make sure their wrecks would float long enough to get the thumbs up at several races like houston, buttonwillow, and thill. I've had my papers on tech notations at the ready for the CMP and Ohio races and i didn't even need'em.

Re: MUSTED READING! I made a good point!

The deal on the the GOOJF cards was this: We tech inspectors had 5 of them to hand out to teams that breezed through tech.  We chose to issue them to first time teams that had NO issues in tech, clean sheet.   Among those, we gave them to the teams that had the best attitudes.

Re: MUSTED READING! I made a good point!

I will say this: on Friday, Judge Murilee and I were SHOCKED that not only did 9 out of 10 teams fail tech, but the same number could not answer the following question, "Did you pass tech?"

It was freaking weird.

The rules are in English, and quite short, they are very easy to read.    I was shocked as well.  It is freaking weird

I wonder how much of this is just hangover from the laxer days of Altamont?

I mean, we still get people saying, "You shouldn't give me any BS laps -- I went to a party at Jay's loft once." Not realizing A) Who hasn't? B) Jay hates people that go to parties at his loft. Especially those in Nomex.

Or, does it just point to the fact that California racers are lamer than Texas/South Carolina racers?
