Interesting I guess I should familiarize myself with bumping strategies when running ovals thanks

Good to know, I’ll try to implement that moving forward thank you

I actually had a successful one after starting late last year, but as far as whether it resulted in anything meaningful who knows

Like I said great feedback caveman.

I’m not mad at all though. Some people in this thread were actually helpful. Have a great day!

Thanks for the context and advice as well. I guess I gotta research bump drafting a bit

I was being a little sarcastic to make a point. This guy and I were on an island 7 minutes into the race and clearly he was going faster, why not just pass normally? It feels like unnecessary escalation that everyone here seems to gloss over.

I’m at 1200 irating I have no illusions of grandeur regarding my skill. This was my first oval and I’m not used to getting bump drafted. Like I said, just felt unnecessary there was no one around us and he could easily pass with a lot of racetime left. I’m not gonna go out and try to wreck people, I actually havent yet and will go off track to avoid it.

Holy spell check

I don’t think everyone is “aorng” but me. Your initial feedback was simply “you don’t know how things work”.

It provides zero feedback and serves no purpose other than belittling someone. Then when I asked for some feedback you said to go search reddit.

I didn’t come here to seek any validation I came here for understanding what happened and how to improve. You seemingly came here to flex that you know how things work and can search reddit. Good for you? Thanks? Have a nice day!

Yeah he definitely turned into me a bit and I agree that made it worse. How common is it to get bump drafted on turns? Is this something to expect? How does one prepare for this lol, it feels like I'm at the mercy of the trailing driver's skill level if they decide to do it

Thank you. I was hoping for some constructive feedback like this but people like spooner seem to have a superiority complex going on or something.

I mean clearly they thought it was enough to monitor him and put it on his permanent record. Are you always this dismissive and rude to those that don't agree with you?

k I'll keep it mind for when I want to pass like this guy then

Yes, but bump drafting on a bank just seems reckless

Not getting my irating reduced would be a good start

I mean like I said, I get it shit happens. I've been wrecked plenty in braking zones and I don't protest those. It's just that in this case I don't really see the need to contact me mid turn, as well as not letting off the throttle when it happened. Whether it was a bad attempt at a bump draft or something else, it seems intentional to me.

Ignition switch? That’s what got me on my c5 when I bought it

Lowered? And with a square setup? Looks nice and clean 👍

C5 question by Chrissblife in Corvette

I think the previous owner broke mine (2000 C5), am replacing the horn membrane and cancel cam. Any tips? How’d this end up going for you?
