Re: 2012 ShopHMS.com Winter Indoor
I don't think the Wheels-Prodigy thing was that bad because in Wheeler's defense, even though he had the blue board he may not have expected Prodigy to go inside there. What sucked though is that exact incident sparked my troubles for the next 7 laps. I was right behind Prodigy when they hit in mid air. I knew there was a lapper behind me and I took a wild guess that he was going inside like Prodigy did and I was outside cause it was my normal line. In a split second seeing the wreckage in front of me and guessing the lapper would be inside of me I doubled the triple. My guess was perfect and flying over my head went the lapper, if I jumped the triple we would have hit no question. So my first instinct was make sure he doesn't land on me so I moved way over then my next instinct was why would a lapper try to pass me like that what an idiot. As it turns out that same lapper then crashed me out of second and then rode RIGHT in front of me for the next 5 laps and wouldn't move. If I could have stayed in front of that lapper and I'm not name dropping but he knows who he is, then I would have never had to deal with him the rest of that main.
It just goes back to the stupidity of lappers, if the battle for 2nd is right in front of you and you are in 15th, then what the hell are you proving passing them? If they are lapping you, most likely they are going just as fast as you so tuck in behind them and work your way forward without getting in their way. Just to point this out a little more, "this lapper" that caused me trouble was in 15th when I caught him and I was in 2nd. He finished 11th and I finished 8th. I mean were those 4 spots really worth it ruining my race to get them, probably would have gotten to the same place had you just not raced me and instead followed me through while I was in 2nd. I just idk what to say about it and now I feel like I'm babbling on but oh well I guess it happens.

Re: 2012 ShopHMS.com Winter Indoor
That's why we need something for these races that monitors your connection, I would be pissed if I was one of those 4 riders (I guess besides Mikey who made up positions).

Sween, I don't get off work until 8, I should be home around 8:15. Is there any chance at all of me getting into a qualifying session?
