As usual, you're a really poor guesser.
Did you hear Ken Shrader referring to Jr's spin on INC? " He looked a little too low coming out
of T3...." Did he notice something that the talking heads didn't?

And that is supposed to mean that Junior intentionally spun? You haven't been watching for long
enough to realize that comments like that accompany every incident they talk about? As in... it
explains why a car went around.

When driving "nr2003" the computer sim, (same sim that Denny used to learn Pocono), T3 is very
wide, and flat. It's not too difficult to take your car down low in the turn and do a slow, and
controlled spin. Entering pit road, there's a lot of spare real estate with no walls to worry
about. Try it sometime. It's not to difficult to see the possibilities.

It's not difficult to take a car into a fairly controlled spin on a lot of tracks. Big deal.
That's irrelevant. Your comment that I responded to was that these drivers are so attuned to
their cars that they can feel everything precisely.

When you're driving and a tire goes down, can you make an educated guess as to which one it is?
I know I can. Most decent drivers can tell at least if its a front or rear tire just by steering
feedback or seat of the pants feel. That IS common knowledge. Left or right side is much more
difficult.
So what's your excuse as to why Jr. didn't AT LEAST tell his crew it was a front or rear tire.
If he didn't realize at least that much, he has no business driving a race car.

I have no idea whether Junior intentionally spun or not. Don't really care. It has nothing to
do with what we were talking about.

Do I have to remind you of the OP's subject line?.... "Jr's spin - on purpose?"
The radio transmissions I have heard (and past history) make me a little suspect of Jr's willingness
to play by the rules.

I'm done with this conversation. Talking with you is a lot like talking
with the Alan Jones of old. You keep twisting the postion you're standing
on.

I don't have to make excuses for what Junior does on the track, or off the
track. Perhaps you should coach him on how team communications works in the
sim world. Clearly, you've got the edge over him based on your sim time.

Remind anything you like. I simply responded to a direct statement by you.
Complicate this all you want, but it's that simple. If you don't want
rebuttals to direct statements, then don't make direct statements.
