Team orders?

I have never understood why some people will complain about a team car taking a dive. What about the 35 other win lights he has to turn on to be in the hunt for the championship? Seriously, 1 easy run out of 35 from a car that you own shouldn't even be discussed. Especially when that car has to get to the 3rd round to help you.
It's part of the game. Deal with it. Or buy 30 cars and bye-run your way to a championship, which probably still wouldn't happen.

Justin Lamb and I were paired up to race in the 3rd round of Super Stock. I gave him the round, clear and simple.

The car I was racing (Unruh's '69 Camaro) was varying 3 tenths over the three time runs and 2 rounds of eliminations. Justin and his father changed everything in the fuel system that could be changed over those runs and we couldn't get it figured out (check out the incrementals). That being said I would of most likely given him the round regardless. We are a team and I want to have the best chance of winning the class whether it's me or Justin. Justin has a 8.40 car and hits the bottom bulb very well, that's a tough combo to beat. I was also in the third round of Super Comp and the two classes (Super Comp and Super Stock) were running back to back all 4 days, not a very easy task to have a clear head in the later rounds.

Good luck to all this year.
