dancer52 Posted November 25, 2009 Report Share Posted November 25, 2009 I was recently told I was a rough driving by someone...I was told that I was to close and not giving them room...lol Now..while I would agree that I might have caused the wreck (and had no problem with being sent to the rear)...I can not see how this is rough driving...just a mistake... In my experiance (and my opinion) rough driving is normally driving into someone entering the turn (normally more than once) hitting someone under caution, or hitting someone (or multiple people) several times in the same race.... I am just curios what other people think rough driving is...over the last 20 years I have been called (but never black flagged for it) a rough driver many times and in my teens I probably was...but never for racing to close....lol..so..because I know we all can see the same wreck and see a different person at fault...I am more curious what makes it rough driving in your opinion....AJ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1955chevy33 Posted November 25, 2009 Report Share Posted November 25, 2009 As the saying goes " DRIVE IT LIKE YOU STOLE IT " . If I drove it like I stole it there wouldnt be a car left running on the track. I had cars ramming into my left rear quarter panel sometimes 3-4 times a race trying to spin me,in pure stock. It was annoying but what I really hate. Is those that dish it out " usually cant take a dose of their own medicine ". Racing has some rubbing,bumping and an occassional accidental hit ,THATS RACING. I never heard " you got too close " as rough driving. Thats a good one. AJ,that person must never of seen the photos of your car when the 08 ran over the top of yours ! I would call that "too close". You should draw lanes at your track so everyone knows to stay in their proper positions. ha ha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Danielsen Motorsports Posted November 26, 2009 Report Share Posted November 26, 2009 I have been called a "dirty driver" before but I thought that was because I had my dirty finger out the window when I passed that car? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NickHolt Posted November 26, 2009 Report Share Posted November 26, 2009 As long as the thread remains a general discussion about what is rough driving and what is not, that's fine. But posts that complain about calls made by track officials or bitch session about other drivers will be removed or edited. Thanks for your understanding.

rebelracewriter Posted November 27, 2009 Report Share Posted November 27, 2009 instead of turning left, you turn right Crazy....you gotta remember we're talking dirt track racing here.... From CARS, Hudson's advice to Lightning.... " Doc: This ain't asphalt, son. This is dirt. McQueen: Oh, great. What do you want? You hear to gloat? Doc: You don't have three-wheel brakes, so you got to pitch it hard, break it loose and then just drive it with the throttle. Give it too much, you'll be outta the dirt and into the tulips. McQueen: So you're a judge, a doctor and a racing expert. Doc: I'll put it simple. If you goin' hard enough left, you'll find yourself turnin' right. McQueen: Ooo, right. That makes perfect sense. Turn right to go left. Yes! Thank you! Or should I say,"No thank you"? Because in Opposite World, maybe that really means, "Thank you"! Tuh, crazy grandpa car. What an idiot! Doc: Ahhh. McQueen: Turn right to go left. Oh. Whoa, auwwww. Oh, that... AUUUUUWWWWWW!!! McQueen: Turn right to go left. Guess what. I tried it. You know what? This crazy thing happened... I went right!"
