Unawareness/Sloppiness at Sears Point
You make the call. Looks like Winders might have got lucky to not get caught in this little incident.
really sad when drivers dont keep it tight and surgical down the main straight at Sears. There is no place for this kind of sloppiness in club racing, especially with the faster cars!

Wow. THIS is why I wont race. All he had to do was pause, but instead tried to split a gap between cars in a corner. Just like the video of the shunt at Lime Rock at West Bend, both moves were way optimistic with very little opportunity for a positive outcome for all. Yeah, Winders is damn lucky that whole thing didnt catch him.

Curious what happened w/ NASA officials after the incident happened? That sort of thing needs to be addressed immediately by those in charge to keep it from happening again or giving people the wrong idea of what club racing is supposed to be.
ps: 1:40 in a Cup car at Sonoma isn't very fast.

There are a few of these guy out there, but the more we catch them doing stupid stuff, maybe the more they will change their evil ways. this GTS4 driver in the 69 car, had NO business splitting hairs here without the ability to do so cleanly. Running 1:40 at sears means you know how to drive very well. the problem is the decision making and judgement, expecially through traffic. Spec e46 cars run in the 1:50s, cup cars in the low 1:40s.
