Oh God How Did This Get Here I Am Not Good With Computer

Pointmeby.com is just another car enthusiast blog site.  Up until now I (Mike) have been posting auto related blog articles on my travel blog igobyplane.com and wanted to do some more technical car or part articles, which will now end up here.  Mixed in will be both more local and international car, kart, and other auto related experiences.

Point Me By

This site is named after the HPDE / Track Day rule (at least in the USA) that requires a driver to signal to a faster driver behind them who caught them as to which side of the car they would like to be passed on.  For most run groups and most organizations here, passing is only allowed under controlled conditions; it is done on straights and only after both the driver doing the passing and the driver being passed acknowledge a pass is about to occur.

Straight roads are for fast cars, turns are for fast drivers.

Work on the nut behind the wheel before you start fixing bolts on the car.

I was doing fine until about mid-corner when I ran out of talent.
