Default Using hazards at the track. WTF

I was at atco last night putting a few runs on a buddys car and when I was finished I watched some racing. A few honda and VW guys were hitting the hazards at mid track. I dont know why that annoys me. I guess its a pet pieve. Of course while I was in the stands there was a group of kids sitting there complaining there to many Chevys there. Oh well I'm done complaining.

I pulled the hazards when i raced the turbo RSX I thought it was comical but that was on the street not the track, I'd probably do it at the track to be an *** if i was racing an import LOL

A couple years ago when I was going to a lot of the GM High Tech events, I raced a buddy in the final round... we had been joking a few weeks before the event about racing each other since we were both running almost the same exact times.

Long story short, mid track, I started to pull on him (he's an LT1 automatic) but missed third gear and he proceeded to fly by me. As he went by he flipped me the bird and hit the hazzards...

On the return road we were both laughing rediculously hard. Good times were had by all...

Done as a joke is fine... at least they are racing at the track and not on the street.

This is true. However I was behind a few of them(not the same guys but a different group of rice ) on 73 and they were of course driving like the Fast and the Furious. I just hung back and watched the stupidity.

Me and a buddy with a 5.0 have a longstanding friendly rivalry, and whenever we run at the track, the winner will usually flash the hazards, just for a little ribbing As far as doing it mid track, sounds pretty gay. Though I guess if your car is that slow, you have time to sit there and play with the hazards. I'm too busy trying to shift.
