    Cheers,no not good,but for what happened,necessary,scary how fast it came on though.At 3am my normal tonsilitis sore,by 5am in hospital with tube down throat. When i got the tube out and could walk around yesterday,was feeling sorry for myself,but a wander through the kids wing put things back in perspective very quickly! I'm lucky it was just antibiotics,& sedated for a few days with a tube in to breath,nothing compared to some of the bravest kids i've ever seen. One of them,a boy named Joel has One of the worst types of leukaemia,and just acted like it's all good,don't stress,i'll be fine when i get a donor! "wanna race me to the operating theatre,i know the quickest way!";) Just about floored me,not knowing whether to laugh or cry!:):(:confused::D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D So please,if it's not against your religion,donate your organs when you die,you can save 6-10 lives!:cool::cool::cool::cool::cool::cool::cool::cool::cool::cool::cool::cool:

    Oh yeah, don't get me wrong, I normally drive like this too. But it was just super distracting this time, maybe because I run bonnet cam instead of the usal cockpit view for this car, the outside noises are amplified. You can imagine how hard it is to drive into Turn 1 concentrating on your speed so you don't go building sandcastles then there is this almighty loud schreeching noise from the lapped car. As I said, I started to pass the ghosts like they were solid cars, but in the end I just wanted to get away from them as quickly as possible to get the noise away.

    I suspect I may be the source of this being an issue as during the race I ran in company with front runners T_B and Disto while they were a lap ahead. T_B came out of the pits just ahead on cold tyres and for a lap or so I was able to stay with him until he started to pull away. I came up behind Disto while he was on worn tyres and I was on fresh and was able to lap faster than him. I raced him and eventually passed and pulled away.
    I guess I saw it as a chance to race against somebody to break the monotony of trying to close the gap to Ad2 ahead and they saw it as an annoyance. I can understand them not wanting the distraction and apologise for my actions.

    Hi emmo, no you are not the source, but you have dobbed yourself in !!!

    I was the source, after musta raised the question after the div 1 race, and i wanted to remind everyone of the rule based on our race and conversation.

    I wasnt racing warrior and Musta as they came past, i actually moved for warrior and didn't see Musta behind, and as i returned to race line he ghosted through me, prompting his question.

    All is goood !

    Well explained Stu i moved out of the way about 15/20 times:rolleyes: & run off the track trying to get out of the way a few times
    i think some of the faster drivers just dive up the in side ok if they do it:mad: but not the slower drivers. they could pick some better
    places to pass:)i know no one wants the car on the same lap to catch up & maybe pass in all divisions.:Dfor us slower
    drivers its very hard to go as fast as we can & watch the car map rear vision mirror:eek:but we do the best we can:D
    a bit of give & take would go down good for all
    Cheers BJ

    Something that helps is to change your map scale down to 1,2,or 3.It means you can't see the whole track,but if you think about it,why do you need to see an arrow or 2 on the pit straight at suzuka,when you're at the Degna corners?For some tracks scale 1 is too close,you'll have no car behind,but be able to see them waving at you in your rear view mirror! I use scale 2 for most tracks,& you can see people alongside you in your peripheral vision,without "specially"lifting your eyes. I find scale 1 is best for short,tight tracks,i.e Autumn mini,Tsukuba,etc. I only move it to 3 for Daytona nascar racing,where it is helpful to know where the leaders are.:D:D:D

    I've only recently discovered that using a wheel you can peek to either side...not really feasible on a controller! Sound like such a noob...LOL

    AND MAKE SURE YOUR FAMILY KNOWS,SO MANY USEFUL ORGANS THAT THE OWNER(THE DEAD PERSON)HAS SAID TO DONATE ON THEIR LICENCE OR THE ORGAN DONOR REGISTRY GO TO WASTE BECAUSE SOME FAMILY MEMBER THAT PROBABLY HASN'T SPOKEN TO YOU IN 20YRS DOESN'T BELIEVE IN IT, STOPS THE WHOLE PROCESS AND SENDS YOU TO YOUR GRAVE,WITH YOUR BITS & PIECES INTACT FOR WORM FOOD!!!!!! SO REMEMBER, IF YOU REGISTER AS A DONOR,MAKE SURE YOUR FAMILY IS CRYSTAL CLEAR ABOUT YOUR WISHES. EASY WAY TO TALK THEM AROUND IF THEY'RE RESISTANT IS TO LIKEN IT TO CREMATION OR NOT,WOULD THEY BURY YOU WHOLE,IF YOU WANTED TO BE CREMATED?:eek::eek::eek::):):):):):)

    Glad you're getting over your ordeal Dek. I have organ donor on my license and my entire family know I want to donate my organs, I wish more people did it.

    Now, onto racing, I'm going to be in Mannum on Sunday (golf trip), not sure ill be back in time for the race, don't wait for me. Dek, you ok to host again?
    This season is a bust for me, missed 3 races and disconnected once. Should be there for the final race though.

    Good luck on Sunday guys.
