The problem is that he ONLY passes people like that. Even if its not necessary, he just plows into everybody - like he did to Hahn at some race, cant remember which one it was. I cant even count how many people have gone down this season because of him
If a newbie says something even remotely challenging to normal low IQ crap around here, and throws in a F*bomb or a do*che B*g, he gets clicked.
If one of the high post count red-necked morons who 'remember the good ole days' or grease the moderator's pole do the same thing, nothing happens.
There are guys on here to have like 3000 or 4000 posts, and not one of them was worth a crap. The whole structure is completely bush league.
As for Barcia, who gives a sh*t. We don't need to argue anything on these forums, the proof is on the track, he's frustrated with his own performance, he takes it out on others, payback will come and he and his fanboys will cry about it.
Barcia is an exciting rider to watch, no doubt. I don't mine his aggressiveness at all, and I'd rather see that than a rider who is the passive follow-the-leader type...but he definately needs to broaden his scope of options where it comes to passing in bowl or 180 turns, a la Stewart and RV. Both of those riders could hold a clinic on 100-ways to pass a rider anywhere on the track cleanly without contact. Heck, Stewie could have parked RV last weekend if he'd wanted to...or hadn't had the respect for him that he clearly showed.
Barcia's pass on Peick was clean...or at least as clean as he gets. The issue with JB51 is what crusty_xx said...people expect him to all but take a rider out with his block passes because it's the only way he knows. He's a multi-time offender. If it had been one one of the back markers, nobody would GAF.
"I know "fans" like to cry about the economy and Mike Alessi and with Team Alessi heading to the North Country they will only have Barcia to cry about." - I have no earthly idea what you're talking about!
Here's Mike Brown saying thank you to Stewart for racing aggressively
Mike wasn't about to take the inside line. His goal was to drop Stewart for being too aggressive at the start of the Moto
How about this one. Stewart was looking to dump RC in this turn. His timing was slightly off
Here's the result when RC held his line
Remember this day? Stewart landed on RC's back at Unadilla
I say this in the most positive light. Stewart has always been aggressive and enjoyable to watch ever since his 125 days. People bitch and that's alright but Stewart has always been one of my favorite racers. Barcia is aggressive but I don't see him taking out racer's front tires. There's banging and at times there's crashes. It's racing.
Pit Row
Even Dungey has taken out more people this year.
Said it before, but you can't ride like that and expect to go for a championship, cause no one is gonna do you any favours and likely you are gonna lose some good points with some stupidity.
And it's not like its 3 this year and that's it. He's been hitting people left and right for ages. It just won't do you any good long term.
All in all, I agree that it's racing.
“There’s a place in Tallahassee I’ve been working with, they do some vision stuff like reaction and stuff like that,” Barcia explains. “They’re like, “We need to check your eyes first.” I don’t think I’ve really ever had my eyes checked since I was a little kid. Come to find out I’m pretty damn blind!”
Now Barcia is wearing glasses throughout the day, and experimenting with contact lenses while riding. So far, he’s been unable to get used to it (he tried contacts during Daytona practice, but had to stop and rip them out) but he’ll keep experimenting and may consider Lasik surgery"
If Barcia had an eye exam and found out his vision was bad...... i.e."I'm pretty damn blind"......
To think that dude is banging out triples and whoops and rhythms while at a sight disadvantage!~!!!!!!!!
Damn........much respect.
PS
Guy B - can we please have a ban on Barcia passing threads!!!!! :-)
