Well GL to you. I was talking with one of my friends about you earlier today, telling them you went from car show buff to track junky.
Just keep in mind everyone. Ferdie started at the same time as us, and I am not even talking about track events. I'm talking karting
Ferdie is fast but his car is just way damn ugly

I got a chance to show Tommy the vid of what happened, how people are claiming eddie is blocking or it looks like he's blocking.
This is Tommy's take on what he saw from the vid:
This is Tommy's take on what he saw from the vid:
[15:46] H yperKansaiMr2: i showed tommy the vid of your run from lawson point of view over lunch
[15:46] H yperKansaiMr2: tommy said you were in teh right
[15:46] H yperKansaiMr2: because you are in front
[15:46] H yperKansaiMr2: you have every right to close the door on the rabbit
[15:46] H yperKansaiMr2: if the rabbit is faster, he will get around you
[15:46] kenji815: i see
[15:46] H yperKansaiMr2: you can ever repost this conversation
[15:46] kenji815: lol
[15:46] kenji815: it's cool
[15:46] H yperKansaiMr2: this is coming from tommy
[15:47] H yperKansaiMr2: he said if everyone is giving you **** for that
[15:47] kenji815: running advance group was definitely an experience
[15:47] H yperKansaiMr2: he says you did the right thing
[15:47] H yperKansaiMr2: you are in front
[15:47] H yperKansaiMr2: if people ***** about wanting clean passes.
[15:47] kenji815: right i mean when running advance there isn't really the right line
[15:47] kenji815: or wrong line
[15:47] H yperKansaiMr2: they can buy their own track session at $2000
[15:47] kenji815: u see those pros pass us with any line
[15:48] kenji815: i'm just so amazed esp that white miata
[15:48] H yperKansaiMr2: but yea i told him how everyone is giving you ****
[15:48] H yperKansaiMr2: about what you did there
[15:48] kenji815: lol
[15:48] H yperKansaiMr2: again he said you were in the right
[15:48] kenji815: u know mike
[15:48] kenji815: always like to talk ****
[15:48] H yperKansaiMr2: if you are in front you are in the right
[15:49] kenji815: i don't take their comments to heart.. so ti's cool
[15:49] kenji815: thanks thou
[15:49] H yperKansaiMr2: but go ahead and post it if you want to stir the pot
[15:49] kenji815: haha
[15:49] H yperKansaiMr2: its not about their comments tho
[15:49] H yperKansaiMr2: its about knowing what is right and what is wrong
[15:50] H yperKansaiMr2: here they are saying you suck you can't drive and you block people
[15:50] H yperKansaiMr2: when tommy reviewed it
[15:50] H yperKansaiMr2: he saw nothing wrong
[15:50] H yperKansaiMr2: only the black flag
[15:50] H yperKansaiMr2: has nothing to do about blocking
[15:50] H yperKansaiMr2: how can you block when the road narrows to 1 cars width
[15:51] kenji815: lol right
[15:51] H yperKansaiMr2: you sacrificed your next turn taking that line
[15:51] H yperKansaiMr2: thats the only thing that happened in that section
[15:51] H yperKansaiMr2: which allowed the rabbit to pass
[15:51] H yperKansaiMr2: there was no blocking
[15:51] H yperKansaiMr2: again this is coming from tommy
[15:51] H yperKansaiMr2: you did nothing wrong
[15:53] kenji815: that's good to know
[15:53] kenji815: yeah i mean i wasn't intentionally trying to block the rabbit's line
[15:53] kenji815: or cutting him off or moving in front of him
[15:54] kenji815: that would be stupid to do
[15:54] H yperKansaiMr2: it doesnt matter
[15:54] H yperKansaiMr2: you have every right to shut the door on him
[15:54] H yperKansaiMr2: you are in front
[15:55] kenji815: well right.. but i'm saying the only thing that would be stupid is u see somone try to pass and u intentionally cut in front of them to block them
[15:55] kenji815: like intentional blocking
[15:55] H yperKansaiMr2: well thats why when passing
[15:55] H yperKansaiMr2: on the straights
[15:55] H yperKansaiMr2: you drive off line
[15:56] H yperKansaiMr2: people in intermediate who let people pass
[15:56] H yperKansaiMr2: drive off line
[15:56] H yperKansaiMr2: which is basically blocking
[15:56] kenji815: yeah but i think in advnace is different
[15:56] kenji815: ppl were passing us on or offline
[15:56] kenji815: where ever i found space
[15:56] H yperKansaiMr2: in that section
[15:56] H yperKansaiMr2: it would be stupid for anyone to make a pass
[15:56] H yperKansaiMr2: its not possible
[15:57] H yperKansaiMr2: especially with the two high horsepower cars involved
[15:57] H yperKansaiMr2: rabbit vs miata
[15:57] kenji815: u think he would of been able pass alittle earlier right after the S on the left hand turn?
[15:57] H yperKansaiMr2: no
[15:57] kenji815: if he was faster?
[15:57] H yperKansaiMr2: nope
[15:57] H yperKansaiMr2: not a chance
[15:57] H yperKansaiMr2: fwd line vs rwd line will intersect
[15:58] kenji815: ayaa ur right
[15:58] H yperKansaiMr2: even if you drive wide or tight
[15:58] kenji815: cuz the turn is tight
[15:58] H yperKansaiMr2: there is no where for the chasing car to go or make a pass
[15:58] H yperKansaiMr2: only thing he can do is wait for you to **** up
[15:58] H yperKansaiMr2: but i am going to post this up
[15:58] H yperKansaiMr2: this has nothing to do about attitudes or what was said
[15:59] H yperKansaiMr2: its about understanding the what happened there in facts
[15:46] H yperKansaiMr2: tommy said you were in teh right
[15:46] H yperKansaiMr2: because you are in front
[15:46] H yperKansaiMr2: you have every right to close the door on the rabbit
