You are 100% correct. After that right hander coming into the back straight, you would normally track out to the left using the whole track for max acceleration out of the turn. But I heard what sounded like the space shuttle coming up behind me and crimped it in over to the right to avoid being run overallisji wrote:Looks like you did the right thing by staying to the right and not impeding.Bitter Clinger wrote:I found myself going too slow for Lou Gigliotti a few years ago at Virginia International Raceway

Re: Road rager pointed gun at woman
There is no controversy regarding the fact that the guy was totally in the wrong to brandish his firearm. He is a dolt and he will get what he deserves.
But let's not try to excuse away the behavior of inattentive, distracted drivers who are also a major public safety issue. It does not take a highly skilled observer to be able to determine when a driver is paying more attention to their cell phone than the road. They typically are driving BELOW the speed limit, often times in the far left PASSING LANE, and weaving from side to side within the lane (or slightly over the line) while texting, reading email, Facebooking, who knows. And it can, and often does have tragic results. I would not be surprised to find out that this was the case with the driver who took the video of the brandisher.
