@Jesse/Seabolt
I wanted to explain the Seabolt situation.
This was the first time I got the blue bar for Seabolt.
Half a lap later, still not close
I know you're supposed to move, and are subject to penalty if you crash while you have the blue bar and make them crash, but during this time I'm looking at the track radar and seeing how close he is to me.
At this point it's almost been a lap of having the blue bar but keeping him 2-3 seconds back.
and finally when I hit the triple and doubled... I saw Reid make a mistake and knew I needed to move for Jeremi, so it caught me off guard how quick I came up onto Reid and didn't know if he was going to merge back into the middle hitting the triple, so I slammed the brakes and hoped Seabolt was going to hug the left side of the triple. Honestly you can call me an idiot all you want but there's a lot going on here. Seabolt was behind me for a lap and I knew that, Reid made a mistake and I came up on him really fast, and not wanting to hit Reid mid-air I slammed the brakes and Seabolt clipped me. Doubling the triple in the main line isn't something I'd typically do, but given Reid's positioning I thought (at the time) it was the safest (not the most logical) option. There's always two sides to every incident Jesse...
Sorry for being a squid..
