JamesHigdon Posted July 21, 2006 Report Share Posted July 21, 2006 First off let me say that I have no irons in this fire, at SAS I was no more then another fan sitting there with my girlfriend watching the race. I have no prior experience with either driver and to be honest have not had a real strong opinion on TPS since it was TIDA, I just enjoy the car counts and watch the races. That said my girl who has been to less then a dozen races in her life commented during the first race on the driving of the #1 car being much more aggressive then necessary. It was also obvious during the second race that he was, as far as two unbiased fans could see from the stands, taking shots at multiple cars during the race. In my opinion the only way damage to any cars could have been avoided would have been trailering the #1 car 1/2 a lap into the first race. The driver of the #1 car wants Neil or Mr. Knotts to respond to this baiting, well if his driving is any representation of the kind of person he is then I can see why they would not wish to respond. I did not remember that it was the #1 vehicle involved in the brutal and from my point of view intentional crashing of the #74 car at THR, but after that being brought to light it amazes me that this kind of driving went on as long as it did. The probation Mr.Knotts seems necessary but unfortunate, but I can’t help but think after those two incidents that everyone will be safer the longer it takes to get the #1 car back on track.

The probation Mr.Knotts seems necessary but unfortunate, but I can’t help but think after those two incidents that everyone will be safer the longer it takes to get the #1 car back on track. That would be why I went a head and let him pass me under caution that first time. If I remember right, I wasn't even a lap down for that first one. But I had to consider if I wanted to become part of the wall's decor. McDonald's doesn't pay enough to fix a wrecked race car. I would think it says something when a guy who has three starts in TPS already knows of someone who seemingly would just take me out for being a lap or two down. But both the 48 and the 1 have said it's now water under the bridge, so lets get to talking about THR. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hartracn19 Posted July 21, 2006 Report Share Posted July 21, 2006 adam78 - Good to see the ole bug do so well in the first race. Per the TPS report, you finished 18 of the 20 laps, and started 15th and finished 8th. Cool deal!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Per the TPS report, you finished 18 of the 20 laps, and started 15th and finished 8th. Cool deal!! Thanks. I was pretty happy about that 8th place finish. Although, I think it was the endless cautions that kept me from going more than two laps down. I'm slowly picking up and learning things. These last three races were the first three I've ever sat in a racecar. I'm hoping for more of the same at THR. How's the 19? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hartracn19 Posted July 21, 2006 Report Share Posted July 21, 2006 You are doing good for a new driver. Sorry we didn't get the chance to talk a little more at SAS, but you looked pretty busy early, then we had the head gasket blow. Lack of time this week forced me to farm the work out to the shop. I called last night, it was still apart, and he had just taken the head to the machine shop. I didn't think it got too hot, but the shop said the head was warped. They hoped to get the head back today, and get the car back together and to me by end of business tonight. Just a little worried, but not much I can do about it at this point. I have faith they will get it back together. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have faith they will get it back together. My first practice with the 78 back in I think early April, it threw a fan belt and one of the pistons got a little hot. We just got the engine put back together the night before the April 29th race. A lot of things that I was warned about with that car and the trailer haven't really happened........yet, lol. I'm just glad I've been able to race, period. I hope to see y'all out there this week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks, oldtimer. I'm getting a little more comfortable now that I'm starting to earn the respect of the vets. Which is one of my three main goals for this year: 1) earn the respect of the other drivers, 2) finish as many races as possible (since a couple of'em I haven't), and 3) win Rookie of the Year.
