cheers doug, i dont see how this is ban worthy? as he was going over the triple when i started reversing. he then should have realised he needed to go tighter into the corner to avoid me all together. i see what i could have done better, but he could have done things better aswell.

Just to make sure most have seen my post from earlier in the Models and Skins forum so here is a copy:
Just want to say this before tonight's stream that I am so sorry that I cannot have all of your skins. Ever since my 3tb HDD melt down last week (literally sounds like a maraca if you shake it) I have sadly not had the funds to replace it. So all I ask is for the top 10 pro riders to again please post your skins for this week and I will do my best to make sure I have your skins for tonight's stream. I know this is very short notice, yet I had planned on having one sent to me in the mean time yet could not afford a new one with my dryer blowing out recently as well. Love you all and I will see you tonight on SYSTV
Sorry to disrupt any race drama that is known to go on in this forum, please continue.

I could be wrong but I thought there was some sort of rule as to when a person is entering the track after a crash or mistake you should/had to leave them room to do so and that gif looks like Dale held his line the whole time, Doug should have already went to the right to stay clear of the downed rider, personally it looks more like dougs fault they both went down to me, but at the same time you could argue that dale should have waited but with that giant ass red arrow we have its really hard to know when someone is on your rear wheel.

I don't think there is a rule like that. To my knowledge, it has always been the rider re-entering the track must do so in the safest way possible (in MXS case, not taking out another rider) and not gaining positions by re-entering the track (cutting the track). Some people might not be aware, but you can increase the size of your map and this will give a much better idea of when you can re-enter the track without taking people out or cutting.

Didn't mean to quote it like that -_- I meant to ask race how do you increase the size of your map? Lol
As far as rules - I will clarify two important ones that are often broken:
Track Re-Entry/Getting up from a crash/Re-joining racing action: As soon as you are off track, into the bales, crashed, or stopped in the track; it becomes your responsibility to re-join the racing action safely. Altercations with other riders caused by you re-joining the racing action are subject to penalty (in most cases a 1 week suspension for a first offense up to multiple week suspensions and loss of licenses or even indefinite suspensions for repeat offenders). Not re-joining the action 'immediately', intentionally going off track, and track cutting are always illegal and penalties will be given based on rF official's discretion. Intentionally breaking this rule or gaining an advantage will carry a stiff penalty.
Getting lapped: As a rider being lapped it is your responsibility to not interfere with the leaders as they go by. This includes moving out of the way and letting them pass. Penalties may be given for holding up the leaders even if no contact or crashing is caused. (As an example, not a solid rule, if your blue bar is under 1.5 seconds for two or more straightaways, you are likely breaking this rule. Even if you have been lapped and re-pass the leader for any reason and they are behind you to lap you again, it is still your responsibility to not interfere with their race, even if it means moving over again.)

Don't worry about it if it's more trouble than it's worth, it'd just make it easier to keep up with all the tracks when switching from laptop to pc coming to and from school, rather than digging through this thread or the tracks section.
Chex, I know you were away when this was posted, and I've heard the first post is all yours. Thoughts?

Pretty soon I believe Stephen is uploading. Unfortunately for him, when guys like me suck and don't get stuff done early his packaging work gets pushed back.
