Ever got a "fly-by" instead of a "point-by"???
I was going through my videos from my last track day and found that:
You can see me wondering "what the hell is going on"??? Should I go over or what... and of course it had to be a corvette doing it Waited the next turn and passed him with a proper point-by. |

Your shirt is very close to a Chelsea FC shirt, which would suggest that the feedback is both timely and appropriate.
[Or they could be preparing for one of 'those' PCA chapter events were a full cavity search is part of the technical inspection.]

You always hear instructors talking about this in the morning drivers' meeting. And every time I think, "Really? Someone would be that stupid to give a straight-up-in-the-air point-by?" I had never seen it in real life. It was a mythical beast, much like Bigfoot, or Nessie, or a Democrat who doesn't want to redistribute all of your earnings. And now here you've revealed it to us for the first time--I can hardly believe it. Corvette drivers...

They often talk about being predictable on track and by giving me the point-in-the-air (both driver and passenger... unbelievable ), the car in front became unpredictable to me... My immediate reaction was to "pull-back" as, for all I know, he could have very well decided to go left-to-right on track, it was not worth it to take a chance. Once he became predictable and gave me a proper point-by, I took it. |
