Eck got DQ for pitting before the pit window was open I think.
Indeed, stupid me.
I didn't pay full attention to the pit time message (I may well have gotten a little perturbed, between it and the end of the lap, too
). Thought, I'm getting out of this mess. Entered pit with Mark telling me, very calmly, its not open for three minutes... "oh joy" or similar, might have crossed my harried mind, just as the game reported I'd pitted too early and I been dq'd. I proceeded to leave in, much less than the "minute and, a
huff" Groucho Marx mentioned.
