Thought you all might like to see what Robby posted on RDC regarding the accident stoppage and scoring controversy .

First and Foremost I hope everyone inthe ACCIDENT is ok........

But the results are NOT acurate.

When MARTELLI AND BITD did the re groupe it was done where the vehicles did not re start the vehicles with the same interval as what we all were stopped. BITD MARTELLI only did the first 6 cars correct and the they just started letting cars go because they said they couldnt keep up.. So here is where it all going to turn bad, Yes its for fun desert racing for some but for others like myself its a business, THE RESULTS ARE WRONG AND LOFTON DIDNT WIN EITHER. Here is why at the end of lap 1 we had Lofton by 9 minutes and 40 or 50 seconds...

When they re raked the field then Lofton restarted around 2 ot 4 minutes minutes behind us (NOBODY KNOWS NO IRC WORKING IN LOFTONS TRUCK) not 9:40 something so when I had a Flat at race mile 50ish the first 3 cars we connected together BJ Leading, Rob Mac second 45 seconds behind him at race mile 50 ish and were all haulling ass.... and there was no dust problems so for sure Lofton didn't make up much time on the 3 of us. So Here is where it goes all wrong.... I get a flat and change it, Lets say on a good day its 2 minutes and on a bad day change its 5 minutes the fact is Justin should have been 9+ minuted behind us but instead because of not fair RE RACKING he now 2 or 4 minutes as nobody knows and the reason why I say this is at one point BITD GUY said we started them every 1 minute but I know for sure thats not the case. the reason why i know this is we have stop watches in the car and BJ started 45 in fromnt of Rob Mac I started 2 minutes behind Rob Mac and Dondale started 15 seconds behing me ( in the short course I was exiting turn 3 and Dale was exiting turn 2 after the Re Rack thats about 15 seconds an at the same time Tavo was in the middle of turn 1 on the short course so he was 15 seconds behind Dale...) This allowed Lofton to get track position on us which he would have never been able to do if he would have started 9:40ish and this is why im crying Foul call by Officials not Lofton.

MINT 400 and BITD need to figure this out as its a Problem and I feel we were robbbed of VICTORY TOO and this is BUSINESS not a hobby.

NOTE: THIS IS NOT LOFTON OR THE OTHER RACERS FAULT ITS JUST NOT A GOOD ENOUGHT TIMING AND SCORING SYSTEM AND RACE MANAGEMENT> THIS IS SUPPOSE TO BE THE BIGGEST AND BEST RACE IN THE UNITED STATES>> NOTE: LOFTON AND TEAM DID A GOOD JOB

ALSO ON ANOTHER NOTE IRC DIDNT WORK ON LOFTONS TRUCK EITHER AS I WAS THERE ASKING FOR PROOF AND THEY COUDNT DO THAT ON HIS TRUCK AS HE HAD NO DROPPED POINTS TO LOOK AT, this system should be official and accurate BUT THIS DIDNT WORK EITHER and it brings the sport back to ammature again...

They really dont know when everyone re started either NO PROOF , this is aTOTAL mess and not cool

I HOPE THE RACERS INVOLVED IN THE ACCIDENT ARE OK this Thread is not crying about the stopped race its about accurate timing both on Lalo side and on ours as we should have won also.....Answer need better more accurate timing, Its not the people doing the timing its the tools they are using its should have been easy to figure this out, the Dakar system would have prevented the accident as the SENTENAL SYSTEM WOULD HAVE GAVE WARNING and they would have been able to re rack them correctctly and the results would be accurate.

Being a arm chair quarter back we should have just at least done a circle at timing and scoring loop and then they would have something on a computer instead of really nothing and then no working IRC on the other vehicle now we really have NOTHING except teams feeling they are ROBBED

I know its very similar on what RPM and Lalo are saying with regards to re racking timing and scoring, there not crying because they or we are sore loosers its just a fact that the race is scued and NOT ACCURATE RESULTS>>>>>>>>>

I FEEL ROBBED AND CHEATED TOO JUST LIKE LALO

I had the difference at 8:55, so Robby was close enough.RM122 which was the start/finish line.

here's BiTD scoring release, not hehe

Permalink Reply by Mike Kenyon on March 15, 2015 at 5:51pm

losing by 1 minute,25.883 seconds ,makes the 8 minute 55second gap a big deal.
Apdaly just screwed the same way. BiTD did not use a proper re-start procedure, fact.
