Re: Taken out at Cadwell :-(
I guess it has the potential to go a bit Pete Tong, but well done on the R1 forum post.

Re: Taken out at Cadwell :-(
I've been on both ends of such mistakes in the past and as everybody (most) have said these things do happen. Providing it is just a mistake then it is easily resolved with an apology and handshake afterwards. What I have found, especially more recently, is that track day organizers seem to be under more pressure to fill all their places so if they are oversubscribed in one group they move riders into another, sometimes over their ability, and then don't police them properly. It's fairly easy to spot these individuals yourself so after that I just tend to give them a wide berth, and if you're that bothered then speak to them or report them to the organizer yourself. I witnessed an idiot making several close passes at Mallory recently, (including one on me up the inside into Edwinas and then straight across the chicane) so I went and spoke to him afterwards. His attitude was "nah, nothing wrong there mate, it's racing in'it". I just tipped off the organizer and he got dealt with by them next session.
Incidentally on the R1 forum this chap is busy boasting about his lap times. Recording lap times is strictly against Track day organizer rules (it invalidates their insurance I believe) so if you really want to black flag him send his details, along with links to your various bits of evidence, to all the organizers he is likely to want to ride with. Chances are they won't want him around them either. |

Re: Taken out at Cadwell :-(
For the record he is no longer welcome at ixion@cadwell and MSV have been informed of both that fact[1] and that he has been boasting of his lap times. What MSV do with that is up to them.
Druid [1] While Ixion is the organiser if there are any free places anyone is free to rock up on the day, pay and get on track and AFAIK all done through MSV rather than the organiser.

Re: Taken out at Cadwell :-(
I see he hasn't dignified it with a response. I like how he mentions 'spinning up the rear' knocking his confidence and causing him to 'back off', nothing about wiping you out at all, the git!

Re: Taken out at Cadwell :-(
I was going to say he hadn't been back on[1] but on checking again he has.
We'll see, I'm not going to wage a vendetta against him, life is quite frankly too short and much though I find the idea funny would urge people not to send him hoax emails/calls etc. Druid [1] If you are registered you can see the last visit time.

Re: Taken out at Cadwell :-(
Seems like a genuine reply.
EDIT: Although it doesn't totally excuse him getting off, it does seem genuine in so far as he didn't want a confrontation. |
