Track incident or someone's fault?

I’m not going to jump on the dog pile (much) and it pains me to agree with Papa - but sometimes properly secured is taking it down.

 

What he does or doesn’t do with his truck in the future has zero impact on the fact that your actions caused damage to it now.

You DID do a shitty job securing your canopy. The evidence is the fact that it flipped and hit dude’s truck. Stop trying to make excuses and own it. Shit happens, but not like you’re trying to put it. This shit is yours ... not his.

 

This happened because you did a track day, man up and go racing where this never happens. Problem solved

 

Just me but I'd let it go. If the other person insisted I'd have accepted a couple hundred at the most.

 

WTF are you talking about? There's no wind on race days?

 

You tube thread sir.

 

I was on the track when it happened. It was reasonably tied down.

 

I'm not making excuses, you're just a tool. It was reasonably tied down. If it was more windy than it was I would have taken it down already.

 

There was no storm. It was a calm day, and one single gust of wind from the opposite direction up ended about a dozen canopies in the paddock.

 

Arguing the cost at the time he turns it in is absolutely making excuses. Arguing it was tied down well enough is making excuses. And name-calling me over you making a mistake and not wanting to pay for it? Holy hell, man. Grow up.

 

Just another reason why track days suck

 

There was about a dozen flipped/crumbled canopies when I came back in from the track.

I just sent him $750.

I would have preferred to go through insurance.

 

No. I'm pretty sure you're a tool.

 

He is, but tools can be right.

 

I'd say pony up the dough, mac, but you already did.

 

Oh boy new to the beeb?
































Just a touch of sarcasm

 

Just curious about your beebing style: is there a reason you go back to a post an hour or two after responding to respond a second time?

Here, you responded twice to the same post:

Here's another example…

Just wondering.

 

You think Cannoli got that post count by not revisiting tired old posts?

 

Speaking of Cannoli, isn't it about time for a reset?
