I think you may be misinterpreting my meaning and/or taking somthing out of context. I take full responsibility for my actions, at the time I take those actions, on the track. There is no excuse for not doing so, in my book. I say I expect others, especially my friends, should tell me when I've done something wrong. If you can't count on your friends to point out when you're breaking the rules you've agreed to, then what's the point of having friends? My friends can count on me that I will point out when they did it against the rules. And I ain't shy about doing "the work" as you call it, at either end of the spectrum this discussion is about. If a person did what is proper, under the rules we race under, every time a bad decision or mistake was made, there would be no need for the IR&R system.
I'm going to have to say to you Wardenclyffe, calling my position, "wrong" really bugs me. First off, it's not a position, it's a decision. Secondly, you can disagree with what I think, or in this case, what I've decided, however, you are not qualified to decide what is wrong for me. Thirdly, I hold nothing against those who do self report. Think about this though, when a driver self reports, he, or she, is basically admitting they commited an infraction. Is that self report backed up by the driver taking corrective action on the track? What does it mean to have the one without the other? A driver doesn't get penalty points reduced for both a self report and an on track concession. Which do you do see as being better in relation to sportsmanship? The immediate reaction and action taken, or the after the fact action taken?
Damn phone sry for double post
