Topic: (Unwritten) Rules of Lemons Racing
I was just wondering if it would be helpful to have a thread that would list for new teams the unwritten rules of Lemons racing, etiquette on and off the track, do's and don'ts, etc. Such as:
- On the track, if you hit someone, try to find them after the track goes cold and apologize. If you can not find them, then just post an apology on the forums. And if you do not remember the number of the car that you hit, post an apology on the forums anyways...
- If you hit another car, and damage it...uh...(I'm not sure...I guess the least you could do is try to do something to make up for what you did? I guess it depends how much you damaged it and how much of it was obviously your fault)
- If you get black flagged for a hit and it is your fault, fess up and tell the judge so that the person you hit does not get penalized...
- Don't get drunk and really rowdy at night (doing illegal stuff, breaking track rules, and picking fights)...cops will be called and you will be banished...(or don't bring friends that get drunk and rowdy)
- On the track, if you are slower, try to stay out of the way of more experience teams (driving predictibally, staying on the line, or driving off line along the side of the track)
- Don't drive like those idiots on the freeways that just traded in their BMW for a big ass pick-up truck....and drive it the same way
- Don't give judges a hard time (argue a lot) if you get flagged, or do not pass tech...
- Don't use your check book as a tool to fix your car...do it your self...
- Make new teams feel welcome...if it was not for the continuous influx of new teams....Lemons would be dead
Anyways, just some thoughts to get the Forums more interesting to read....
