Post-Run Etiquette

BZenzen · 03-27-2024, 03:08 PM

Last summer I ran a guy who was a long time bracket racer at BIR. I had no 2nd gear but tried to get some round points, he beat me first round and he was so excited to get his first round win he drove right by the scales.

I had stopped by the scales to take my jacket and pants off for the drive back and the tech guys asked if I wanted him tossed. The thought never crossed my mind, I told them call him back to the scales it’s an honest mistake. They did and he went on to the semi finals for the event.

I would never think twice if a competitor stopped to make sure I scaled or did fuel check, it’s part of the S/SS race. If they get upset then that’s on them.

It never means anything and less it"s a heads up class run.

DP, I sat at the scales and waited on you. I didn't think about the first turn off and when I came by your pits your car was already charging and you were probably eating a sandwich.

Only time I really wait is in a heads-up and I have had time that they wanted both of us to wight and fuel ck.
Normal run I don’t stop As I know most of the racer are not near the min at most time when it a dial in race. But that being said I have had a few that had waited and it dose not bother me one bit as it is there part of the run.

Your win light didn’t go on
So proceed to load up and go home
If it’s not a heads-up way bother
I hate when someone sits by the scale hope to get a freebie
I make sure to disappoint that person and go over the scale.

If get beat I go straight to my trailer and go to lunch no need to stop by the scales I might need to go to lunch quicker lol

You can wait, you can drive by and get lunch, you can try your luck at the buy back window. You can do anything that a spectator can do. OR, you can go back and listen to some music, like Loser, by Beck.
