jj and Curt,
Maybe what Curt is asking for is just a clarification of the blue flag for all drivers.
In my tiny little n00b racing brain, when *I* see a blue flag i maintain my speed, my line, everything..UNTIL i see the nose of the faster kart..it is at THAT point that I yield the line and let him through, knowing full well that 2nd place may try to squeeze through on the same corner or on the very next one…again, I keep my speed and line consistent. What the blue flag is NOT is a signal to slow down and drastically vary your line *in case* a faster kart might be behind you. I think the faster drivers would agree that they would prefer the slower drivers maintain the racing line when being passed or at least yield the faster line when shown a wheel. Anyone?
