Racer turns opponent’s side mirror during race

https://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=a6iO3TQjXp4

Personally, I thought it was brilliant and the driver receiving the mirror "tweak" seemed to approve.

Comment section seems divided.

Thoughts???

Aren't side view mirrors considered part of the safety feature (to keep track of what's happening around you)? I'll say yes so I think the offending racer should be disqualified. Yeah...pretty harsh!

Very good move, and yes the victim seemed amused. Brave though! Good way to lose an arm!

Funny, I can tell you from first hand experience racing spec miata in the past we used to give each other ALL kinds of crap. The drive seems to be dealing with it well, looking before he moves over which is what he should be doing with or without a mirror. A bit of door banging into a corner could have resulted in the same happening to the mirror and hey as a plus he has less drag now!

Prolly two friends and the offender was messing with his buddy. If not, he deserves to find a flat tire when he's not looking.
Comment from one dude who out of the blue goes off on Christians sounded like several militant folks in PARF.

HA! That's great! You gotta love Spec Pinatas

...If that happened in the POC the comp committee would give him 13/13. They deal them out like junk mail.
