Vid- Tight Cuda on the track.

"The PIT maneuver is a method, popular with police departments, by which one car pursuing another can force the pursued vehicle to abruptly turn sideways to the direction of travel, causing the driver to lose control and stop. The acronym "PIT" stands for either Precision Immobilization Technique, Pursuit Intervention Technique, or Parallel Immobilization Technique, depending on which police department is using it. Other names for the same maneuver are Tactical Vehicle Intervention (TVI), "tactical ramming," and "legal intervention."

Simply put, if the guy in the Cuda even so much as (lightly) touched the rear corner of the Beamer and nudged him, the Beamer would have been out of it and no one would have been the wiser. I think it would have been something VERY well deserved! The Beamer driver was not much of a sport.

Ah, that's the PIT maneuver. Yes, that BMW driver deserved that for sure and should have considered himself fortunate to get off that lightly; he was being a real.......(insert expletive of choice).

Boy howdy...someone needs to give that guy in the bimmer the "Cale Yarborough" treatment when he gets back to the pits!

it sure look like that cuda gained on the bmw pretty easy considering his weight to horsepower ratio if the bmw got out of his way he'd a been gone

You dont to explain that one to me!!
Even after Cale stopped driving and owned a Winston Cup car he was rumored (there we go again)to knock his own people around in the pits and the shop. When he was driving, well.. we can go to the video for that.

Maybe the guy in the Cuda is sleeping with the BMW driver's wife and that's why the Beemer guy is doing what he's doing. Maybe the Cuda guy ran the Beemer guy off the track at a previous race and now he's doing what he can to annoy the Cuda driver.

Let's not forget Dale Earnhardt, one of the great bump-and-win drivers. Jeremy Mayfield got into Earnhardt's rear on the last turn of a race on a short oval (Bristol?) and loosened Dale Sr. just enough to allow Mayfield to get past for the win. Earnhardt came roaring up alongside and flipped-off Mayfield on live TV. Afterward, Mayfield was asked about the tap and his reply was, "I don't know why Dale was so mad, he made his whole career doing that to other drivers."

No messing around is allowed in vintage car racing. Period. No contact, no 10/10ths racing, and if you have an off track excursion you are black flagged from the track. If you hit another car, you are banned from further races. The rules are extremely strict based on the fact that the majority of these cars are irreplaceable one of a kind race cars with serious history, worth in the millions of dollars. When you have some guy in a $2000 beemer trying to run a multi-million dollar Gurney AAR Cuda off the track it makes you really mad.

Sorry fellers,gotta call that one for what it was.Cuda guy is what's referred to in the instructing world as OSB(other sports bekon)He should work more on his heel and toe and less on his french gestural scolding.I can see him not wanting to scuff his investemnt,but sometimes it's the indian not the arrow.

Road racing is all about smooth momentum,and it goes like this*

Maybe a nice friendly little smack upside the Beamer drivers head back in the pit would be best instead of scratching up the cars! That sure is one bad azz mopar!But that little beamer was always right there with him!If the old boy driving that cuda made one little mistake he was going to have to catch the beamer all over again.
