Topic: With all this talk of black flags...

Would anyone really want the races to devolve to this (SCCA Championships):

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VM_jUXnE-Rk

How many things would have been black flagged in the five minute?  Imagine exposing some first time driver to this kind of driving.

We got screwed at The Real Hoopties of New Jersey  and we took cars down with us.
We got the curse at Capitol Offense but they wouldn't let us destroy the car.

Re: With all this talk of black flags...

Did that camaro driver peel off the mustang's right rear fender at about 1:35 in the race?

It must be nice to have enough power to have to worry about corner exit throttle oversteer...

Yep.  Notice how he forces him off track right after too.

Re: With all this talk of black flags...

Yeah, but it was nice for him to not even give a hand wave or anything.

As I was watching it I kept wishing that the second cam wasn't on the driver but was a rear view cam, that would have made it more entertaining. It looks like there might have been several drivers who wanted to have a word with him after the race. And one looking for a damage payment.

No sweat, dude. I've been there too with this series. Just ask Bender about my run in with Santa Claus at Sears Point last March. I'm pretty sure that there were some sailors nearby who blushed when they heard the blue streak coming out of my potty mouth. smile

Cheers.

c'mon AS is a national class, you gotta do 2 drivers schools and 6 regionals (license) and then 4 nationals to go to runoffs.

Ulysses S. Grant got my back on that.

But on a serious note, more SCCA douchebaggery

Take it from someone who knows:  Pinatas do NOT last long in the rain!!!!  (the real pinatas, that is).  The past two races, rain has caused our Pinata decoration to become nicely colored wet toilet paper that flies off the back of our Golf, usually onto the front fender of the poor soul behind us.  The rain on Sunday even somehow managed to kill off one of our motorized maracas......

You may need to leave. 

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black_Flag_(band)

tl;dr - a very influential punk band in the 80s.  There are well used stencils of the band logo that are used to decorate cars that come through the penalty area.
