A lot of wood sawing there hogg! LOL.
It looked to me that you didn't come off the white line at all and you were in the straight then left turn louie wanted your lane. That's the problem with these involved car rules. The officials don't have to actually make a decision and take a stand. As far as I am concerned that is just lazy officiating.
When i frst watched the video, first thing i thought, "man that's alot of sawing the wheel."
i found it very slippery out there. dunno if it was cold, track, or just me but they were the most "nervous" corners i've raced on.
I wasn't an involved car as there was no caution so that wasn't the ruling here. i asked a track official after the race about it. He radioed the flagman and the answer from him was "black flag for rough driving".
That makes the call even more puzzling then.
Lets for argument sake say you seed when you should have sawed off of turn 4. The most you could say is that you lost the front end and hit left turn louie. But that doesn't explain why he came across you in the middle of the straight ???
too bad about that call, puts you behind the 8-ball when you deserved a good finish....
the good news is you caught this on video for a solid example of what the flagging was like.....i wasn't there until sunday but it was pretty obviously brutal sunday. its nice of the guy to volunteer his time but when he ends up pissing off a bunch of frozen teams and fans its not good for the event. if he saw a tape of some of the races im sure hed be ashamed...especially if hes getting paid cause certain people are getting ripped off and screwed out of money in the end and he gets paid
maybe that car was a peterborough car because i know he let the X four fun beat and bang his way to front and then black flags the one guy who tries to pay him back....if hes gonna let it go for one let it go for everyone.
in your case you were staying in your lane thats all anyone can ask of you
heres another tip for him...... when hes standing on the infield for 10 caution laps holding up the race stand where you can see right side tires so you dont restart again with someone in row 3 or 4 with a flat right front tire like the mini feature.....between all of them they didn't see it......what a way to cluster f*ck the race for the last 3/4 of the pack....how can that happen? he was on the outside too! why even come down if you aren't looking for flats or something like that?....i paid 35 bucks to see that type of flagging i feel ripped off and i was just watching....
