I guess that's what I get for taking the time to capture and post my in-car video to help people lower their times.

I guarentee in a race, *every* car would be using the line I'm using. It's not like I'm ditching through the dirt to cut off the corner, which is what I understand was the intent of the rule. I've got 2 wheels on the paved surface at all times, and I'm not cutting across the grass to get to the paved surface like I could at a track like Fuji 2005.

So you guys tell me, what's the intent of the rule? To prevent cheating on the tracks where corner cutting/wall riding makes a huge difference, or to allow nit-picking of someone's lap when they use all the available paved run-off? IMO, if it's paved and I don't have to leave the pavement to get there, it's part of the prepared racing surface.

How 'bout those of you that are complaining post up some times. As far as I can tell no one that's posted a time is complaning about my line. Plus, my video has been up for about a week... if anyone had a problem with my line, why wait till Tuesday to say something?
