I tried making that point as well Leadbedr. To have trackbound talking about disrespect after playing bumper cars in two of the races is ridiculous. Ive learned this...NEVER TAKE DAMAGE OFF!! We saw the true selves of folks once they were able to push/punt without consequence. Just when you think you have an idea of someone, think they're honest, they dive punt you into a wall and then flee the scene. No apologies. Thankfully I heard that now two wrongs can make a right if you look the other way. Just like Mike...I will make it right to ensure this disrespect for others ceases. I am so happy to have learned with several races to go what one can get away with for merely a slap on the wrist or more likely no penalty AT ALL.

It is just an idea I'm kicking around. It'll be January before starting a new season.
The previous pay structure promoted sandbagging and didn't do anything to tighten the racing. The poor drivers were left behind while the good drivers sandbagged to beat each other for points. And when the poor drivers won a race, it was again without any close racing, just an overly blown car.
The current pay structure isn't as bad, but it is still missing something. I'm just looking for something that will keep the racing tight without doing sprints all the time.
We went from two evenings of Lemons to one. You could've run a second evening this season. You are welcome to run one next season, or run the only Lemons series if I think of another idea that might actually tighten up the racing.
I'm not sure there is a way to make the pay structure work to tighten up the racing, but then again, that may not be your goal. And that is fair.

I have known trackbound for many years, and I know that he has as much respect for other drivers and strives for good, clean racing as much as anyone. To say that he "played bumper cars" as you put it, I find that very hard to believe. Maybe he defended his position aggressively at times, but without even watching the replays, I'd be willing to bet he wasn't half as bad as most of the other drivers. As someone who started near the front and fell all the way to the back in the last three races, I had a chance to see just about everyone leaning on each other all over the track, pushing people out of the way left and right. I talked to trackbound after the race and we both agreed that it seemed like most of the drivers threw the idea of clean racing out the window since damage was off.
I do agree with you that damage should have stayed on. I know there are no pits to get your car fixed, but that just makes it so there is more incentive to avoid contact. Also, these were very short races. It's not like you would have to drive around for 45 minutes with a damaged car.
Regarding the cujo situation, to compare that to the inexperienced driver you had troubles with last season, or to the aggressive driving of some people the other night is ridiculous. If he thought he could pull a 360 in the middle of the track, when he's in the middle of the pack, and not have any impact on the race, he's an idiot. The group of drivers behind him couldn't see a damn thing because of all the smoke he created, had to slow down to avoid t-boning him, and had no shot at catching up with the rest of the pack. Then everyone had to avoid him as he was parked in the middle of the track on a couple laps later in the race. After the race, he should have come onto the board and posted an apology for acting like an idiot during the race. Instead, he just complains that he did nothing wrong.

Yeah, I need to change my PSN name. I set that thing up so long ago; I'm not sure how much I like going by my middle name. So yeah, Dabney is part of my name. :/
I wasn't trying to cast any aspersions with the Iowa comment, it's just you two are so cute!

At one point I accidentally punted Trackbound when he checked up on a driver in front of him. Several laps later He used me to get around turn 1. I figured that was to get even with me. I didn't want garris handing out penalties to people that settled things on the track. So I made a comment between races.
I made one pass on you that would be considered dirty. It was the last race, and from what I experienced, it was far from the dirtiest move of the night. I ducked inside you on one of the 90 degree turns and stole the apex. By the time you turned in, you hit my rear quarter. If you're considering that a wrong that you need to right please let me know. Your comments have been ambiguous as to who your blaming for foul play.

I wasnt parked u fool, I was typing after the idiot host told me to leave in a colorful and pathetic manner.
Apologize... uh how's this. The 360 was an amazing attempt. I'm sorry I couldn't pull it off.

Chuyler. Diabolic is mad because you punted him. Not track bound.
Track bound and
DiabolicalJ.
Track bound raced rough, I did too, but was no where near as severe. The slide job on me, I paid him back. Then a bump on spoon first turn next heat, slam into another. We have replays people, watch them.

I know this happened to me a few times in turn one (getting hit from behind then hitting someone in front). I guess my line/braking is off for that turn, but what can you do?
Overall, I thought the sprint races were great. I think the "light" damage setting definitely led to some aggressive driving, but I don't feel anyone ever "did me wrong". Maybe if we choose a track with a pit next time and keep heavy damage, it'd be perfect.
