[QUOTE="Wendell #527, post: 1861066, member: 11322"] I’ve been on both sides of this argument. Around 2004 or 2005 in the Baja 500 close to the start there was a river crossing. A local boys camp was there, pulling cars across one at a time because the cars would all get stuck there trying to get up the river bank. There was a line of 20 cars waiting their turn. I said f*** this, I pulled out of line, went downstream a couple hundred feet and blasted across the river, up the embankment and on my merry way. I thought it was a good move. Then in a Vegas to Reno race a car had rolled it on a narrow winding mountain section and there was no way around. We had to wait in line. The utvs were narrow enough they idled by about 20 of us and got by. Then the fuckers wouldn’t pull over when we finally got past the rollover and caught up to them. Pissed me off to no end. I wish I had blocked them. There are 2 viewpoints to this scenario. It is a race and we don’t have to wait in a line, but it sucks to have someone sneak around you especially if they’re not really faster. I don’t know whose side Im on. [/QUOTE]
