Topic: "Especially Douchey Move"

First of all I had a blast this weekend and this race was the BEST Lemons event yet!! Everything was A+ all weekend. I did manage to get one black flag on Sunday for an "Especially Douchey Move" and was just wondering what you guys thought of this pass. Im not complaining and we did serve our penalty without any argument by putting on village people outfits and dancing around the paddock like gay singers for a bit.

I didnt think this pass was to crazy but maybe thats just me. Thoughts?

Cant wait till Thunderhill and hopefully we arent dancing around the paddock!

Re: "Especially Douchey Move"

I saw a lot more douchebaggy passes than that during the race that weren't flagged.

What pass?  I didn't see any pass.  You were following the Jeep.  You're clean!

Re: "Especially Douchey Move"

Hard to tell if it was a douche pass, you may have cut off a car behind you or came too close to some other car or passed under yellow, can't really tell from this camera angle, but the flaggers must have seen something the camera doesn't show

Re: "Especially Douchey Move"

If you were able to make enough of an impression on the corner workers to merit special commentary (usually they just call in car number and offense), chances are it really was a fairly douchey pass.

Or you just got ground to hamburger by the wheels of justice. Either way, we're going to give you the Macho Man penalty.

I did think it was pretty rad that they had it written down as that specific lol. Thats why I was wondering what I was missing I thought I missed something really cool!

Re: "Especially Douchey Move"

Sunday morning back at our pit, some guy was leaving us a couple of bottles of beer.  Seems he was the one that taped us on a bonzai pass, and then spun himself around.  He apologized and I could see he felt really bad about it.  A quick look around our 3800-pound Jag revealed he hit us on the right rear wheel.  Just a little of his paint was all we could see.  He was a  "class guy" all around. Lots of good folks out there!

Re: "Especially Douchey Move"

i thought it was weird the jeep driver had his arm outside the vehicle.  Didn't he ever ride roller coaster when he was a kid?

He was waving to the flaggers holding the yellow.

I didn't see anything particularly egregious.

TST, fool.

Re: "Especially Douchey Move"

How do you know you got the correct clip?  Might have happened later or earlier.

Hell, could have happened with the driver before you if you just started your stint.

Re: "Especially Douchey Move"

Fish, you and the boys did great.  I never knew BJ could actually drive.  I'm wondering if it was just bladder control (not car control) that got you into 2nd place on the first stint.

The point is if he arm can come out then... what's to stop it during a roll over?
