Heh. Yeah. I guess it doesn't hurt to ask, but don't expect anyone to just give you a spot. The thing that gets my goat are the guys who yell "inside!" in the corners. If there's room and it's not a hazardous move, go for it, but no one in front of you owes you a spot just cause you asked for it. When asked, the yellers will say they "just wanted [you] to know I was there." Funny how it doesn't occur to them I might know, but not care. That kind of goofy chatter is greatly diminished in 3 races and non-existent in 1/2/3. If some dope wants to divebomb a corner, they just do it. No pretense of concern for safety. I prefer it that way. Still. I'm with mikey, if it's not a critical moment and someone wants in, why not?
