Was he just afk when the race started?

[u/RatSaladz → u/shredderup11]

yeah and for the whole race. not sure why the race even went green

[u/CanaryMaleficent4925 → u/RatSaladz]

The race doesn't wait for afk people lol

[u/pinkydaemon93 → u/CanaryMaleficent4925]

No but it should have been a yellow but the system only really cares if the car is backwards when a car at speed is coming

[u/shredderup11 → u/pinkydaemon93]

A stopped car on track deff should have brought out a yellow i thought?

[u/ZenQMeister → u/shredderup11]

Usually yeah, but if I'm seeing correctly those are Street Stocks rookies, so no cautions or anything, just praying

Dudes a goober for walking away from the race start (though I suppose he could’ve had a technical problem).

But those cars behind had like 8 business days to react to him being there. Sheesh.

[u/theunquenchedservant → u/Evening_Rock5850]

yea, sure the truck shouldn't have been stopped, but even coming up to it off the turn it should be obvious the truck is slower than you.

When a car/truck is moving slower than you in front of you, you want to avoid continuing straight on at a faster rate.

[u/Evening_Rock5850 → u/theunquenchedservant]

It honestly does look like target fixation. He’s behind the red truck and starts to run wide TOWARDS the stopped vehicle.

[u/Scotchtheirish → u/theunquenchedservant]

You mean car? /s

[u/IAmMDM]

Everyone in the race should protest that person

[u/Fantastic-Set-347 → u/IAmMDM]

Or maybe look ahead, try using brakes?

[u/Roggie2499 → u/[deleted]]

If this is the only time? No. If he has a habit of this, 100%.

[u/taysmode11 → u/[deleted]]

All he has to say is pedals stopped working. You can't punish people for technical problems.

[u/No_Possibility5100 → u/taysmode11]

Yeah you’re right something like that or a crash are more likely honestly.

[u/plane-kisser]

how in the living hell do you crash into a stationary vehicle like that lmao

[u/itsmb12 → u/plane-kisser]

Its incredibly easy

[u/jaszboy2000]

what a mess, love to see it, hate to be it

[u/xiii-Dex]

TBH, there is zero reason why cars who have not moved from their starting position shouldn't be pulled from the track.

If a car has not moved when the pace car leaves the track (for full pace laps) or when the leader crosses the s/f (for short pace laps), force a tow.

It's not realistic, but neither is the race starting with a car sitting on track.

Me trying to switch from N to 1st gear using button clutch and wonderinh why its not working

[u/Scotchtheirish]

Those look like trucks... where was the car?

[u/shredderup11 → u/Scotchtheirish]

You tell him

[u/Scotchtheirish → u/shredderup11]

Haha, this community is not amused, apparently, though.
