24nomo Posted April 5, 2021 Report Share Posted April 5, 2021 Lots of punting going on, two guys with a chance to win it got punted. One poor guy in the street stock got punted on last lap for second. Not good. The same guy punted him twice Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
24nomo Posted April 5, 2021 Report Share Posted April 5, 2021 The only way to stop the bullies from punting is to get out and bust them in the mouth. But, they usually wont punt someone that will do that. I think the punters are bullies. Let hope they punt the wrong guy one day and we see jack handles in the pits again. Man, those were the days Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rails Posted April 5, 2021 Report Share Posted April 5, 2021 (edited) I was wondering how things went. I wasn't able to make it, and don't do the bookface deal to know what is going on there. Sometimes you can end the punting in the pits though Edited April 5, 2021 by rails Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rails Posted April 6, 2021 Report Share Posted April 6, 2021 Yeah I am not sure what really went on. I had to leave town for work and wasn't able to make it. So unless I read it on here I have no idea what really happened. But I have seen plenty of it in the past there. But sometimes they get sent to the back of the field. With that choose cone they use there a guy can sometimes work his way back to the front pretty quick though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe you are referring to the action between my son (#22) and the 89. I drive the 52 (and 55) and can assure you guys that it was good hard racing. (No grudges, yet.) Yes, watching the video the 89 drove deep down into 3 and spun the 22. Halfway through the race my son had made a helluva pass on the 89 and the 89 tried to make a move and it didn't work, and spun him. Unfortunately, the 'all involved' rule applied and they were both sent to the back. The only comment about the last lap incident was that it WAS the last lap and there wasn't a green, white checkered to settle it. Now THAT would have been interesting. It was all good in the pits (between the drivers) after the race. The 00, 22 and 89 are within hundredths of one another. That will always make for exciting racing. Quite frankly, 3-10ths covers the class. I had fun racing side-by-side with the 12. The 52, 12 and 44 were three-wide for 2 laps. Clean racing. The class has gone through some gyrations but 'The Best is Yet to Come' Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HiTech Posted April 8, 2021 Report Share Posted April 8, 2021 (edited) Nothing better than good drivers and good cars going at it .things happen . i have lost races by inches and won them that way .and have ran poeple over and have been ran over .. when its that tight that is thge most fun ..and never get mad about it .. you chose to push it just like the other driver chose to push it and i bet they all had smiles during that race .... THAT IS CALLED RACING ..and darn i missed it ..the best thing is the fans saw a heck of a race and that is what they paid for ..it just takes two to make it a show ..

If you dont put a knot on their head in the pits for spinning you out on the last turn, last lap, for second place, they will continue to bully you. Bullies tend to take over tracks and run them.

JESSE will do what ever he can to keep from wrecking others .. .after the races he will ussualy go over to the other driver to see what their excuse was or give them his.. . so far in the last few years we have kept our tempers more that we should have .. but we are there to race ...not saying a time will come when we forget its racing .. plus you have young fans who should not see that stuff going on in the pits between teams .. fact i never say anything to another team about their drivers action i wasnt driving and what i saw does not matter and i dont care what the other team mates think unless that teams brings it up to me ... two drivers are the only ones on the track THEY BOTH KNOW WHAT HAPPENED .

RodneyRodriguez Posted April 14, 2021 Author Report Share Posted April 14, 2021 I am all for great rivalries, we need more of them. But senseless tearing up of equipment is not needed don't care about the division. Want to wreck people, find a demo derby. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nathan Posted April 20, 2021 Report Share Posted April 20, 2021 bump and run is part of short track racing. Also drivers misjudge the move. none of this on the first action demand a fight. if you are racing and looking for a to fight you need to find a different hobby.

24nomo Posted April 23, 2021 Report Share Posted April 23, 2021 When bump and runs turn into bump and spin, there is a problem. Spin a guy two times in the race, he is a bully. Probably should not try the bump and spin two times in a race if you dont want to have issues in the pits. Every driver claims he misjudged when he spins someone. Numerous misjudgments leads to people defending themselves in the pits or the bullies continue to misjudge. This is not golf, this is whiskey drinking, snuff dipping, camel smoking car racing. If little pit action bothers you, maybe gold would be better Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They win if you quit I don't think it's so much that they want you to quit, I think it's more they haven't matured enough to keep their emotions in check. I have not one problem of someone coming up to me after the race and talk about it. To be out on the track with a 3400 lb. weapon and intentionally take you out is just something a child would do. Racers need to be mature enough to keep it together on the track and mature enough to discuss it in the pits. After you're in the pits and you still have a disagreement then a mutual decision to fight is okay with me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
