your taste of music is braineack approved.
however, the horn would have been active, the entire time he started into my lane and only release until after we made that next left turn...

We have the same thing by my house, but a few days ago there was the inside turn lane to going straight *******. I'm asking for a dash cam for my birthday.
If I had one a few months ago I would have recorded a NJ State trooper taking out someone's dog. That was a full-suck experience. It looked intentional but I hope it wasn't.

The thing that scares me is not that i will get hit, it's people like this that will get hit. So few people watch the road, everyone is preoccupied with a cell phone or whatever. A dashcam is not a bad investment.

How many people do you think just go straight through the turn only lane in the intersection, making it dangerous/annoying/impossible for those who chose the correct lane to go straight through the intersection, to be able to use any of the next 3 entrances?
Easily 50% of the people who are in that lane.

We have a double whammy by my house. The next intersection after the 2 lane right turn intersection, is 2 lanes, but one is right turn only. That lane "continues" (but not legally) after the intersection to serve as turn lane for the next 3 shop/neighborhood entrances.

I saw that one^. I have to say that guy was literally crawling through T1. If I came into T1 at race speed I would have needed evasive action to avoid him. No surprise that the over taking car went to the inside IMO. And we all now the fate of any car that stalls in the roval entry.
Yep- I remember that clearly from driver school. Even the part about "look for a corner work station". Parking on the track ranks right up there with spinning w/o foot on brake IMO. High risk of unfortunate events.

He definitely seemed surprised with the turn of events.
I should add, that normally a driver like that becomes a "known entity" before the race even starts, and most know to avoid them. A guy I coached was bitching about getting nailed in a very similar situation at Rd. ATL in T12. He started to show me the in-car video at the point turn-in started and the offender was in plain view. The first thing I asked the pupil: Do you see his door? Response: Yeah, It's got a big dent in. I told him that's usually a your last hint.

What was up with his line? Looked like he was trying to do the slowest, earliest apex possible.
Thats one thing I didnt like about running in the HSR. A Formula Vee from the 70s was usually a lot faster than one from the 60s and sometimes you would come flying up on an old car like it was standing still.

This guy very nearly hit me. I moved over and let him pass then got behind him. Sure enough he rear ends the guy at the next light we get to.
Very clearly high or on drugs.
