[ Closed ] Banned for life? (Page 2 of 7)

Ouch.... Well, spose that no stuntin, 'splodin and such applies everywhere. Including a hot track.

I debated doing a little burnout when we won Summit Point last year.

Glad I didn't!

Here is my POV. i would be more pissed about the tire use.  although we have done donuts before in the paddock and i know of a few others that have as well. Never seen it on a hot track.  i believe we call it hooning.

They were dipshits on the track well before this incident.
They totally had it coming and I'm quite pleased to hear of the ban.

Look to Cerveza or Eyesore for how to drive a fast car through traffic. If done right, you don't even know they're there until it's done.
The M3 was quick but if you have to repeatedly force the issue you're the problem.

I did not witness the crappy driving, so missed that piece of it as well.

Who cares about their driving?
The donuts were awesome, and I'm glad someone had the balls to do it, banned or not. There is all the talk about not taking this too seriously, and here is someone just having fun. This is a much safer place than the paddock, and no more dangerous than any other activity that happens all weekend.
Lighten up and just enjoy the hooning.

It does sound like there is a LOT of butthurt in this thread because someone brought a faster car.

If it was someone in an Edsel cutting donuts in the infield, I think the tone would be different.

It's not that they had a faster car it's that they drove with no regard for others safety. They drove like @$$holes

I'll admit I was laughing, but I also thought they were very agressive on track. Fast car or not.

What he said.  There were plenty of faster cars pulling off questionable passes this weekend (I love the ones that almost force me off the track by trying to move back into my lane prior to completing the pass, after I gave them a point by).  There were also the usual faster cars pulling off completely safe passes.

For what it's worth, this particular BMW didn't pull any questionable passes on me in my 4+ hours on the track Saturday and Sunday.

bs

+100 on that.  I may be wrong but my understanding is that the white/purple V* volvo with the big box flares is part of that bunch.  If so, I'm wouldn't be upset to see those guys go too.  Both the Volvo and M3 people drove like asshats.  As others have pointed out, fast cars aren't the problem/jealousy.  Cerveza, Eyesore and MTGT are much faster than the majority of the cars but it's very rare for them to do needlessly stupid stuff.  I have huge respect for them.  They work around you on track without any drama whereas the M3 and Volvo just blew through you.  After they hit, they'd just wave.

I don't have an issue with the hooning.  The 12-13 hours those cars were on track is a different story.  Let's put it this way, if the Curse was still around my ballot would have had those two cars on it and I would happy the see the grader.  The hooning might have been the last straw.

My guess would be it was a "line in the sand" move.  If they let one go this time, how many are trying to do it at the next race?

We also don't have all the info.  Maybe Jay smelled alcohol on the driver's breath.  Just sayin'.

We may never know all the details, and I am fine with that.
