Explain 2011 and a bad call. Love to hear this...
Well off the subject, but here it is.
Worcs series, Three way championship tie, I think it was Rd 7 at Geln Helen, this was before parade laps were given so you never saw the corse till the race.
Running up front in 4th when two cars crashed bad right in front of me (because one of the cars was going backward on the corse because they missed the turn) I avoided them and the came to an intersection, left strait or right, all the corse ribbons were gone because other classes kept missing the turns and tore them all out.
So I chose strait and was back on the track, unfortunately Greg Row who had been in front of me by about 4 seconds and who I was batteling for the points with was now behind me..not knowong what to do, and knowing especially at a Worcs race you dont go backwards on the corse, I continued arounds the corse back to where I made the wrong turn and pulled off looking for a corse worker, after finally finding one I told him What happened, he said get back on the corse and keep going.
During my little trip I lost three minute, which in a Worcs race is like 3 hours, and let everyone pass me. I was hit with a 6 minute penality on top of the self imposed 3 minutes loosing a ton of points, but still battled back and almost won the series.
The whole thing was on video tape showing what happened and with the time stamp you could see how long I was driving around off the track trying to get help..any ways they told me I should have stopped on the tabletop jump in the infield where the flag man was and told him???
I feel I should have gotten it overturned, but no such luck, anyways after that race, Worcs started parade laps to avoid those issues.
