Explain Your Curse Criteria (Page 1 of 3)

agreed... if it were up to us, we'd tie a rope around the car and drag it down the backroads behind an F450, blowing black smoke the whole way, chunking empty beer cans at it

In general terms, we vote for the people we want to leave. 

In SC we voted for the teams that eventually got the curse both times.  Both times it was because they were being dicks on the track.  OK, you have a fast cheater car - do you also have to track out into us and force us in to the dirt too? 

In Stafford last year, we voted for a team that did not get the curse for nearly the same reason - they would give no quarter on the track.  We did not specifically agree with the Merc getting the curse at Stafford, but we understood it.  They were slow, knew it, and were guilty of not getting out of the way of the people who could and wanted to go fast.

The Mustang guys at CMP were off the track a lot with car problems, so they were absolutely no threat to win.  But they drove like bungholes and that freakin siren annoyed everyone. 

I was surprised the Mercedes got the curse in Stafford, I didn't see the logic of cursing them just because they were slow.  That Jaguar was almost as slow.  The Volvo was only a step better.

From my point of view, I'd curse drivers who just take and do not give on the track.  You're fast and clean?  Okay.  You're fast and dirty?  Cursed.  You're slow and dirty?  Cursed.

Shouldn't BS inspection be for a taking care of the cheaters?  Got an illegally fast car?  Here's your 150 laps, good luck making that up.  Who cares if a cheater car is super fast on the track.  They're never going to make up the laps.  Why worry about them?  I would think that as long as they drive clean with courtesy and respect they would be about as annoying as a super slow car, no? 

The curse should be for taking care of the A-holes on the track (and maybe even off the track too).  Think your god's gift to motorsports and you can bump and dive bomb your way around the track?  Here's your free ticket to the crusher. 

If a team is really fast and somehow made it though BS inspection with little laps they either where actually able to build a legit fast car on the cheap or the somehow managed to pull the wool over Judge Jonny, Judge Leiberman, and Judge Murilee.  Either way, good for them.  Go talk to them and see how they did it.  It's got to be an interesting story to pull that off. 

Still intent on voting for a team just b/c they are fast, see rule 2.4.

i didn't even see the merc on track at stafford other than when they came back out after the curse.  the jag was slow and big but i didn't see them being a-holes.   the volvo when i was out there was slow and throwing blocking moves on me.  i don't even remember who our team voted for.

i definitely see some more strong opinions on the curse coming out this year at stafford now that the size of the field has more than doubled

I think it should who is the biggest Aholes on the track .

In the past Ca. events

Camaro was like drift king and bumped and grinded past you

740 bmw  Were clean driver but everyone was jealous

Mazdasaurus were A holes on track for 2 races and were also voted@ reno

Copcar because no one crushed one before clean drivers .

There is so many fast cars/drivers out there   the Ecrappe Alladente is fast  and the Martini 914 not very fast in the straights but these never slow down for corners and  hardlt contact .

I think cheaters should just get more laps or the option to leave race or get cushed .
If someone has 400 penalty laps they got nothing to lose/win and will drive like Aholes .

We should have options of penalty

take there 200 treadwear  tires of and throw some 500 treadwear or space saver tires

Revlimiter to like 3500 rpm

Maybe a ghetto blaster playing Judge liebermann calling you a cheater and all sorts of stuff on autoreverse.

just a couple of thoughts there

While I haven't voted for one yet I will be at my first race in Stafford, my criteria in order of importance:

1. Drive like complete dicks (fast or slow)
2. Act like dicks as well
3. Cheating their balls off

Or any combonation of course.

OMG Ronin is a great "sleeper" movie.  Best car chases EVAR.

Jay needs to be forced to return to the Hammerite Alfa as his daily driver. Totally reliable!

See thats whats weird because we ran the Texas races and found the February race to be fairly cleanly run. Granted there were a few teams more aggresive then others but all and all pretty relaxed. Funny how teams see things differently.
