Would you two put your dicks and rulers back in your pants for Christ's sake!

O-cha... you have balls for posting your videos where you screw up and then able to admit your mistakes. Never stop learning from your mistakes. I learn something new every lap I accomplish on the most repetitive road circuits I drive--just like you. (yea, I balled up my car on the Nuerburgring already once, but never posted that video)

Hack... I'm sure you are a good driver, but you can be an arrogant a-hole sometimes. I think much of what you wrote could have been sent privately instead of patronizing O-cha.

Peace-out.

...and my personal observation is that both of them demonstrate quite a bit of e-arrogance on a regular basis. But we all have our faults.

So I think The HACK was making a point that O-Cha hadn't yet acknowledged. O-Cha got defensive. The HACK got defensive. And then the rulers came out.

Indeed, O-Cha admitted that this was an example of poor driving and luck but I think The HACK is making the additional point that it wasn't just that O-Cha tried to turn in before settling the car but also that you should have never even found yourself in that situation to begin with regardless of what the knucklehead in the Porsche was doing.

Whenever I find myself behind a car that is making me agitated or nervous, I hit the pits the first chance I get.

Perfect example. At my last event I was driving behind a guy in a Radical SR3 which is, as I'm sure you know, an insanely fast car. The driver was obviously new to the car because I was carrying a much faster pace. But it was a very unusual car to follow. It's tiny. It looked twitchy. It's fast but I didn't know quite where it'd be fast. I found myself closing very quickly. I wasn't confident I'd be able to keep a safe distance from it should it do something unexpected so I hit the pits and didn't see it for the rest of the session.

I know and admit I'm a prick though. He is trying to pretend to be giving advice when he's really just trying to be a prick, that's the difference to me and it's a huge pet peeve of mine because those types are all over the track and I just want to kick them in the groin.

And I had acknowledged I should have pitted WAY before he jumped in the thread so it was no additional point, and eventually everyone has their emotions control their driving somewhat, it just happens, it's not good, but it happens. Acting like it's the end of the word is just stupid especially when I had already said I knew it was bad.

But For the important part: I would probably stay on the guy's ass(Porsche's ass) and forced him out (not saying that this is correct, but sometimes is the only way they learn)

Ya. But this isn't a race. It's an HPDE. In a race environment, risk is assumed and accepted. And worst case scenarios are prepared for (by both the drivers and the track workers). In an HPDE, that really isn't the case.

Just hit the pits and get over it. Problem solved. You can then go about on your pace without getting all hot and bothered and possibly causing a situation that could endanger you, the person in front of you, the people behind you and the workers around the track.

Good point. But that is the way it make me feel some times. some people just don't have any consideration.

And one could easily argue that their lack of consideration doesn't put anyone in danger whereas someone who gets hot under the helmet is putting quite a number of people in greater risk.
