Race Incident Report:
Race #8 @ Laguna Seca, Lap 1
Audiman2011 & John Wells go 2 wide through the turn before the corkscrew, it does not play out well. Probably not a good idea to go 2 wide through some of the more dodgy cambered turns in the Cosmo & Speciale.
Conclusion: Non-Penalty Mutual Fault Race Incident
Race #10 @ Mount TopMore, Lap 1
Coreyb's car, according to 3 steward reports, lagged suddenly coming out of Turn 1. Since obviously Coreyb probably was unaware that he was the one who was lagging, it's difficult to say what Coreyb saw from his perspective. But Coreyb's car caused a contact with jackargent's car & obstruction of the track for snowgt & cbcvabch, causing significant detriment mid hill for all 3 drivers.
Conclusion: Coreyb 1pt fairness penalty, as consolation to jackargent, snowgt, & cbcvabch.
RE: Lag
For future reference, if you see more than 1 car lagging on the track - YOU are likely the one lagging.
Also, whenever lag like this happens in the first 30 to 60 seconds of a race, anyone seeing that kind of significant huge lag should announce it so that an abort can be called and the race restarted.
I'm not talking about a little jumpiness, of course. But when a car goes shooting about the track, that's "significant huge lag".
It's just too disruptive to continue like that because it tends to cause everybody to get reckless as they desperately try to escape the hugely lagging car. And often the driver in the lagging car may think everybody else is lagging, and see no reason not to just try to drive away from them, not having any way of knowing that the reason everyone else is spinning out is because they've caused multiple contact incidents.
(
So, if you see shooting cars at the beginning of a race - call an abort! I will always honour a shooting car abort!
I think I'm going to add that to the Rules section. (Someone remind me if I forget.
)
I always think back to this lag incident:
And how in that race there were several race incidents,
with half the grid having seen that lag, and half not.
Very annoying.
