With me and dowhat, I was feathering the throttle slightly to try and let him in, but not enough. I had 2 other options that probably would have avoided the accident: let off completely and risk making everyone behind me check up and possibly wreck each other, or go keep my foot down 100% so that I pulled more alongside him and let him know I was still below him.
If Mule had waited for a review and not taken matters into his own hands, he would have known that what happened on lap 2 was not intentional. He could have saved himself and dowhat a needless third altercation on track, and unwarranted future hostility.
Well now, our race just wouldn't have felt complete if someone hadn't collected me at some point.
Lap 48 - 00:38:30 - Another situation where a clean bump pushes a car slightly out of line. RedPartyHat cleanly bumps Dexter on the backstretch, and Dexter's car jumps out of line to the left. Dexter tries to jump back in line behind ACDC, but the front bumper of RedPartyHat is there. The unintentional hook nearly spins dexter around, but the wall actually straightens his car out, keeping him from losing much momentum. Both cars continue on, mostly unharmed.
This is just like Joe/Dowhat and Knelly/Crazy, except it came with 2.5 laps to go and was for the race lead. You can't expect dexter to not try to get back in line to help his teammate, just like you can't expect redpartyhat to let off the throttle and let him back in line. They both just got very lucky that it didn't cause a worse wreck here.
RedPartyhatHe intentionally went underneath me, below the yellow line, in turn 2 and put me in the wall and he even admits to doing so in an earlier post.. Your explanation really doesn't relate to how I remember things.
How about the post I made just above yours?
KnellyDamm, just went to watch replay back from Saturday night, and I didn't save it
KnellyNot entirely mate, won the Indycar race in Speedweeks, and the Bud Shootout was more about figuring a couple of things out. Didn't quite go to plan, but wanted the replay to help prepare for the 500 this week.
As for mine and Crazy's incident Drop, bang on. Like Joe said with his, I was out the throttle I believe, as much as I could be with cars behind. I do have my map at 2, but you know at those speeds and the lack of time you have, this was almost unavoidable from my part at least. Holding my line as usual.
If you can confirm though that I was out the throttle, that would be good. 👍

I should have pulled up higher and swung around the tail of the pack. Thats probably whats best for everyone to do when they are in that situation. Just move up high a little and let the inside cars go by. You can tail them onto the straightaway.
