Shadow: "in this video that was actually Jeff Pearl that went low in turn one to pass Keith in Monahan's 78"

ACTUALLY it is Rocco going under Rob with all 4 wheels below the white line. Check the 8minute mark. Guess you missed that. Jeff later in the race was just doing what Keith has done all year. So can we now cut across the grass for the pass? Where do we draw the line?

Also noticed that Rocco passed the pace car. So which official said that he could pass the pace car? Rule 1.5.8

Heck bo gunning i guess it was hit the back of the pace car in the SKL race...... :lol:

I wont even claim to know what the passing rules are if any,but it was sure nice to see Jeff makeing those kind of moves. Awsome to watch Keith do it and was even better seeing someone else do it. If there was less blocking though maybe there would less dive bomb moves. See it all the time,if a car is faster and gets blocked and chopped the driver is gonna drive her on in and hope it sticks. Right or wrong clean pass or iffy thats what gonna happen. I think more will start driving like Keith does, do unto them as they do to you. I have no problem with the way Keith drives is general, I really dont see him blatantly wreck people,i have seen him wreck someone but is usualy in retaliation(not saying that is right ) Allthough is his aggressiveness can cause issues. He is there to win. Im sure alot will disagree with me but to me there is a difference in wrecking someone,and causeing a wreck. Wrecking someone is just wacking the car and is usualy obvious. Mis-judgeing a move or not pulling one off can and usualy causes a wreck and can be considered at fault. Like last year in the mins,Danny field wrecked Kenny in turn 3-4. But last week Tyler and keith crashed while racing aggresively and i dont feel it was 1 more than the other. I dont drive these cars,that is just how i see it from the stands.

Not for nothing though i do think putting slow pokes or un-esxperianced drivers in the front of field causes more problems then anything. So many times a car has a good run in the heat,gets a pole shot which was earned but then proceeds to bog down the field or lose it in front of the pack and kabang. Where is the line on that? They earn the starting spot and have to get exsperiance,but the end result is usualy ugly. I have the utmost respect for ones that have a good run in a heat race and still drop to the back of the pack untill they are ready to mix it up. The bowl is a full throttle track,you gotta charge or your gonna finish 10th.

All this stuff has been goin on the bowl forever and a 1/2. Only difference is the cars are now faster,with different drivers. None of this is new and i dont really see it changeing anytime soon. Its kinda what makes the bowl the bowl. Teams know the deal when they sign in.
