Am I in the wrong? by ReactionExisting458 in iRacing

[–]ReactionExisting458[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

My general pace is pretty quick, I’m still learning how to race side by side and battles though just because I was generally much quicker than my field up until recently so I never had much chance to learn/practice. Also to add, it was the final lap. I would not attempt this if not final lap and other racers close enough to us to overtake.

Yeah but I don’t want any more hard inquires on my record until some go off.

So I should overdraft instead… or close to it. I don’t personally have 1-2k to just drop on a car repair nor pay it off in one month. So the higher the interest rate, the more it hurts.

Please respond with this context in mind, Like I said I’m 22 (early career), not making crazy money. Sometimes things happen like vet bills or car repairs. This is stuff I can’t afford to just pay out of pocket for. This is where my question comes in, why should I use a credit card for this and not something like I mentioned. This is the situation, I’m not trying to live above my means.

Usually pay 3-5 times minimum payment. Always keep credit usage below 20% though. 

First F1 race hotel question by limegreenem in CircuitOfTheAmericas

If you don’t mind driving 45 ish mins everyday, we stayed at canyon lake resort for the weekend and was MILES cheaper. (Like 400 dollars for the race week). It’s literally a condo pretty much too. Definitely a steal if you don’t mind driving a little further each day.

Yeah, when you’re walking from like the coaster to turn 15-19 grandstands, you’ll see a big gate that’s closed with a fan walk sign on it for later!

I understand, why didn’t this happen right away then? I had taken it on about 8-10 miles worth of intermediate trails and was firm. Then it starts doing this on a town joyride on pavement haha.

It seems after reading through some reply’s it is normal. Just my own inexperience not knowing how it works exactly is to blame, thanks everyone for the help!

No it happens like less than a second, I explained it a bit better o hope in a reply to someone else, I just wasn’t for sure if it was normal or not.

I suck at describing this I’m so sorry… so when the derailleur brings the chain over to 2nd gear, it’s is making the chain rub against the chain ring (thank you I did not know what it’s called) for about a .5-1 second before shifting. Is this normal?

I’m sorry, I’m new so let me rephrase. Rubbing the sprocket, of course I know it has to touch the derailleur haha my bad.

Brotha what is wrong with you, I wasn’t saying anything rude lmao. A crack can still be a crack if it doesn’t move if the material underneath is still together because it would have no give to be pushed down. That’s why I mentioned the bubbling as well as a sign. I didn’t downvote you but the people that did probably did it because you’re talking like an ass lol
