SEASON 40 INCIDENT REPORTS

Lap 6 #77 warps out in the tri-oval which causes the cars behind him to check-up. The check-up causes drivers to change lanes to avoid contact. Going into turn one, #18 gets into the back of #10. The check-up was big enough that #18 had no chance to avoid the contact. While the warp started the chain of events that led to the wreck, the warp itself did not cause the actual incident. Because of this, I have to call this a "racin' deal." #6 is charged for secondary contact, however. He did not serve his penalty and is docked 1 lap.

Lap 10 #25 bumps and spins #46 on the restart. The yellow did not come out but #25 served his drive-through penalty correctly.

Lap 17 #021 drifts up into #18. #021 did not serve his penalty and is docked 1 lap.

Lap 31 #028 bumps and spins #26; #028 correctly served his penalty.

Lap 33 After being told his connection is too bad to continue racing, #021 pulls to the inside wall to retire. Normally this is considered a penalty/incident, but because he was doing it due to his poor connection, no penalty will be issued.

Lap 38 #77 goes low to pass #25, but #25 moves down the track into #77. #77 is sent to the apron, and when he comes back onto the racing surface, he checks up to avoid hitting #25. As #77 checks up, #74 hits him which causes a chain reaction with several cars spinning out. While the yellow did not come out, this is still an incident. This was #25's second incident. He did not park, so his scoring is stopped on this lap and he is parked next week.

Lap 60 #48 attempts to pit from the middle lane because there are cars underneath him. #48 is bumped by #4 and it starts a wreck. Per the rules, you ARE allowed to pit from the middle lane at your own risk, but if it causes a wreck, the incident will be charged to you. We give drivers this option so we don't have an entire pack of cars trying to line up nose-to-tail while trying to pit as that would make it MORE likely to have incidents when pitting. #48 served his penalty.

Lap 65 #128 bumper-hooks #428 and sends them both to the infield only to come back up the track and whipe out the field. #128 is charged for the incident.


Points will be updated Sunday night. And for anyone wondering, we leave the top 35 in points from LAST season locked into the first 3 races of the new season. So if you were locked in to this race, you are locked into the next two races before we start using the current season's top 35 to lock in drivers.

Lap 12 #143 slides up into #18 while exiting turn two; #143 served his penalty.

Lap 16 #143 is charged an incident for causing a wreck prior to going green. The incident extended the caution one extra lap and resulted in damage to other cars. #143 did not park after his second incident so his scoring is stopped on this lap and he is parked next week.

Lap 44 #74 blows a motor and it causes a wreck. Incident caused by mechanical failure; nobody charged for it.

Lap 64 #1 bounces off the turn four wall and it then hit by #141. #141 loses control and wrecks. Incident charged to #1 who is scored EOLL. ALSO, #33 is charged an incident for getting into #55; while #33 did the right thing trying to get out of the way, he didn't check up enough to avoid contact with another car while he came back up onto the racing surface. #33 did a drive-through to get to the back, so he did serve his penalty by getting to the back of the pack.


We leave the top 35 in points from LAST season locked into the first 3 races of the new season. So if you were locked into the race this past week, you are locked into the next race as well.

Lap 14 #46 makes contact with #25; #46 served his penalty.

Lap 22 #17 loses a motor; no incident charged. There was a further back in the pack, but it's unclear if this was a reaction to the blown motor ahead, so no incident is charged for this wreck.

Lap 26 On the restart, #100 goes to the low side to let people by, but #74 cuts down too early and gets clipped, leading to a wreck. While #74 moved down low, the incident is charged to #100 because he was damaged and wanted to be in the back. If a driver is too damaged to hold their spot on the restart, they are expected to pit OR keep out of the way of on-coming traffic. #100 served his penalty.

Lap 31 #44 blows a motor; no incident charged.

Lap 55 #80 blows a motor; no incident charged for that, but #18 is charged for secondary contact. While #18 only took fuel during his pit stop, he re-started at the back, so this will be considered penalty served.

Lap 65 #59 moves down and gets into #33 which causes a wreck; #59 is scored EOLL.

Lap 18 Going into the pits, #18 moves to the right to avoid #96 (who is also pitting) and a wreck occurs. While #96 slowed prior to exiting the racing surface, he was below the yellow line when contact was made. I can't pin the blame on #18 either as it is unreasonable to expect someone to be that slow just as they enter onto the pitting section of the track. If #18 had tried to hot pit, if #96 was still on the racing surface, or if #96's slowing immediately caused the contact, then I could pin the incident on a driver. But because none of these situations are accurate, I have to leave it as a "racin' deal." This wreck could have been avoided if the cars who were NOT pitting did not drive in the low lane. This is where we need to communicate and work with each other. If you are in the low lane and you know multiple cars ahead of you are pitting from the low lane, move up a lane IF you have room. It's just common sense and will prevent wrecks like this from occurring.

Lap 20 #74 is on his out lap and pulls up the track in front of traffic that tries to split him, but contact is made and a wreck occurs.

Lap 21 #74 self spins under yellow and #100 has to make a sharp turn to avoid hitting him, which sends #100 head-on into the wall. Because this caused damage, I cannot ignore this and have to call it an incident on #74. This was his second incident. He did not park, so his scoring is stopped on this lap and he is parked next week.

Lap 39 #67 cuts down on #74; #67 served his penalty correctly. #87 also hits #67 but #87 slowed dramatically and made a sincere effort to avoid contact, so no incident is charged.

Lap 53 While passing a lapped car, the field goes 4-wide. #18 drifts up slightly, but it's enough to get hooked off the nose of #43. Incident charged to #18. He was on a 1-and-park but did not retire, so his scoring is stopped on this lap and he is parked next week. UPDATE- this incident was protested. The Replay Committee could not get a 2-1 majority call, so by default, the call is overturned to a "racin' deal." #18 gets his original finishing position back and is eligible to race next week.

Lap 61 #44 bumps #10, causing an incident. #44 served his penalty.


Too many wrecks guys. We're better than this. Also, if you are in a wreck, DO NOT let go of the steering wheel or let your foot off the brake pedal so your car can wander wherever the hell it wants to. It sucks getting caught up in someone else's wreck, but it also sucks for the drivers who avoided that wreck and then get hit by your car only because you decided to stop controlling it all of a sudden. If we see any of that anymore, it will be dealt with harshly.

Lap 19 #14 spins #43 while entering the pits for a pit stop; #14 served his drive-through correctly the next lap.

Lap 20 #77 goes under the white/yellow line to pass #25, but #77 committed to the low line since all of them were pitting on that lap. As #77 was about to pass #25 low, #25 moved down a little more. #77 went under the line to avoid contact. No penalties charged, but things like this are why we have Teamspeak- so we can communicate what each other is doing. #77 should have known #25 was going to have to pit after the next turn and chose to give #25 a bump or pass high. At the same time, #25 should have seen the cars were approaching fast and committed to the low side, or stayed in the middle lane and fallen in line behind them.

Lap 58 #1(#61) suddenly drops speed entering turn one. The Replay Analyzer did not report any motor problem, so it wasn't a mechanical failure. #428 then gets into the back of him, crashes, and loses his motor. This is considered an incident on #1(#61) who retired.

Lap 61 #46 bumps #43 in the tri-oval. #43 loses control briefly but regains control, which results in #46 getting bumped hooked. #46 gets into the wall and collects #6. This is considered an incident. #46 did not serve a drive-through penalty so he is docked 1 lap in the final standings.

Lap 66 #24 slides up into #69 while exiting the tri-oval. Incident on #24 who is scored EOLL.


We had 5 drivers who lost the draft on the first lap because of cars ahead of them screwing up. THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE AND EMBARRASSING. Because we did not get a yellow until the white flag lap, this meant their races were ruined almost as soon as the green flag came out. STOP ANTICIPATING THE GREEN. IT CAUSES A GIANT MESS AND USUALLY RESULTS IN A WRECK. And if you are at the back of the pack and the cars ahead of you fail to go on green or play bumper cars, you are allowed to drive around them to save yourself from losing the draft.

Penalties/Warnings:
- #24 is given a reckless driving warning for driving onto the track after an incident; he was not up to speed and was in the middle of the track. This caused the trailing cars to make evasive maneuvers to avoid him. One of the cars was not able to avoid him and got into the wall.
- #25 is given a reckless driving warning for driving into the back of a car when there was enough time to slow down, pass high, or pass low. The other car lost control of his car, hit the wall, got damaged, and lost the draft.

Lap 7 #43 loses motor; no incident charged.

Lap 12 There is a check-up at the front of the field, and this causes #115 to bump #095 who then bumps #77, who gets into #100(#024); the #77 and #100(#024) lose control and a wreck occurs. I am resigned to calling this a "racin' deal" as #77 is trying to NOT put #100(#024) into a bad spot just before entering turn three. And the cars behind #77 would not have expected nor had much time to slow up for an un-expected check-up. No incident charged.

Lap 20 #428 bumper-hooks off of the #124 car during a check-up. #31 had moved high, but moved back into the middle lane after he realized he didn't have room. This move was enough to cause a check-up. Because the check-up was only 1-2 mph and because he DID move back down and out of the way, I am calling this a "racin' deal" as well.

Lap 29 Another accordion effect going into turn three. I did not see any over-aggressive driving and all of the drivers made good efforts to avoid running over the car ahead, but it got worse the further back it went. Again, I am forced to call this a "racin' deal."

Lap 30 #95 is charged an incident for getting into the back of #710 during the caution and damaging his car. #95 parked.

Lap 50 There is no incident for the contact on pit road. We do not charge for incidents a wreck happens simply because a driver pulled out of his pit stall at the perfectly wrong time. This is nothing more than a by-product of green flag pit stops with alot of cars on pit road.

Lap 53 #52 loses motor; no incident charged.

Lap 8 #095 decides to fall in line behind #428 and gives him a bump. The bump is a bit ill-times and #095 slows up, causing an accordion effect wreck behind him. #095 retired.

Lap 19 A check-up in the tri-oval causes a wreck. #9 moved down onto the apron to avoid contact (which is legal); #17 sees this and checks up. #99 starts to slow down as well, but not as quickly as #17, and he bumps #17 which causes a wreck. All cars involved made legitimate efforts to avoid a wreck; I cannot find anyone deserving of a penalty. This will be called a "racin' deal."

Lap 43 #6 gets into the back of #10, which knocks him into #99, giving him a 30 second penalty on pit road. #6 is charged with the incident. The yellow did not come out, so #6 did a drive-through on the next lap (per the rules).

Lap 18 The #14 spins on his entry to pit road and goes back out on the track collecting the #100. The #14 retired. Penalty served.

Lap 24 The #44 looses 2nd gear causing a check up. No incident charged due to mechanical failure.

Lap 34 The #74 tries to make it 4 wide after the #428 and the #43 make contact. The #74 makes contact with the #2 and into the #428. Incident charged on the #74 who served his penalty correctly.

Lap 38 The #143 comes down on the #8 causing an incident. #143 correctly served his penalty.

Lap 56 The #43 spins the #73 entering the pits, spinning him out. The #43 did not serve his penalty and is docked 1 lap in the final standings.

Lap 63 The #24 blows his motor. The #24 retires.

The #90 is docked 2 laps in the final standings. He pitted on lap 18 when the yellow came out due to the caution and received a black flag. Instead of going to the end of the longest line, he claimed he got a black flag. His flag was cleared and reviewed and it was deemed to be correct and he should have been at the end of the line.

"Rule: Guilty of black flag
If we clear a black flag and it was legitimately yours, you will be penalized -2 laps in the final race results.



During the race, the #74 and #24 were flaming, which is not allowed. This is the FIRST AND ONLY WARNING for everyone. The rules state flaming is not allowed and it will not be allowed.

FLAMING and Outbursts
Will not be tolerated in any RTR event whether it is over Team Speak or through text chat.

1st offence: Probation, -1 lap penalty and/or Parked for a week.
Using any profanity, especially the "F" bomb while flaming is an automatic kick from the server.

Lap 5 #064 gives a bad bump to #9 to cause an incident; #064 served his penalty.

Lap 28 #428 bumps and spins #2 while entering the pits; #428 pitted on the next lap to serve his penalty but took fuel instead of doing a drive-through only. #428 did not finish the race, so no penalty is needed for incorrectly serving the initial penalty. Remember, to serve a penalty under green, no tires or fuel can be taken.

Lap 48 #428 bumps and spins #115 while entering the pits; #428 retired as this was his second incident. #8 is also charged an incident for pulling into the path of oncoming traffic and getting hit by #74.

Lap 58 We go 4-wide in turn three. On the exit, #26 appears to try to give room to the 3 cars under him and bumps the wall, causing #44 to check-up, which in turn causes a wreck. At the same time, #028 bumps #712 to start a separate wreck. Because of the 4-wide and check-ups in multiple lanes, I am calling this a "racin' deal" as everyone appeared to be trying to give room. The 4-wide started with a lane change that slowed the outside lane, and some cars went to the top/4th line as a result. While it was aggressive driving, it wasn't careless or reckless, hence no penalties.


Penalties- #90 is charged with Reckless Driving for putting #17 into the wall twice in the closing laps of the race. Blocking is legal, but when the car is already alongside, you cannot push them into the wall. Per RTR rules, the penalty for the first offense is to be scored last in the final standings.

Lap 4 #24 moves down into #67; #24 served his penalty.

Lap 9 #710 bumps and spins #17; the yellow did not come out so #710 correctly served his penalty by doing a drive-through.

Lap 11 #43 bumps #428 after #428 bounced off the wall. Incident on #428 who retired.

Lap 40 #71 clips #31; #71 served his penalty.

Lap 45 #95 clips #6; #95 pitted for fuel only and was not at the back so he is docked one lap in the final standings.

Lap 62 #43 gives a bad bump to #143; #43 did not serve a penalty and is docked one lap in the final standings.

Lap 66 #6 clips #69. I am calling this a "racin' deal" as #99 moved up and #69 had room on the high side. #6 pretty much had both sides pinch him. No incident charged.
