outlawcaddy Posted October 10, 2006 Report Share Posted October 10, 2006 Bruce I was in the stands and did not here Terry call you a coward. He said something like it was the polititians fault for not prosecuting. He said some other stuff but it was not really clear due to the fact that he was abviously upset about what happened. Regardless of what happened I have watched you race and spoke to you man to man you are a good racer and willing to help us guys out if we need it. I respect you for maintaining you compsure during the inncidents that happend to come out 3rd in the end. Also my compliments to Joey Heinaman and the Bill Meyers crew for putting Bruce in a awesome car. Not many people these days would let some one else drive there car..

NickHolt Posted October 10, 2006 Report Share Posted October 10, 2006 i think enough people heard it. Well, Crazyhorse, you and I heard two different things then. Â I was at the grandstand side of the gate just below the flagstand - about 20 feet from TD - when he got on the mike. There was also a PA speaker very close by. Â TD did tirade about the judicial system and DAs and law enforcement who he felt were not doing their jobs by letting stuff like what happened go by without punishment. He may have even used the word 'chicken' in regards to the legal establishment. But he had just been told there was nothing the officers could do since the extinguisher never hit Bruce. Kinda like if someone takes a swing at you and misses - there's no assault. Just an attempted assault. Â Nick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, I did exchange a PM with Bruce Barber about what I heard on the PA, but that's it. And I did receive a PM from you as well, but I will not disclose what you said in that PM. Â So, who has been spying on PMs, Shawn? I'd like to know. However, if you feel the TXSZ PM system is not to your liking, you certainly are under any obligation to utilize it. Â Thanks.

poorboy Posted October 10, 2006 Report Share Posted October 10, 2006 It's all over and done with. We all learned something from this weekend either good or bad. There is more racing and controversy to come for all of us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brad Posted October 10, 2006 Report Share Posted October 10, 2006 Hey Bruce, Thanks once again for coming and supporting the show. Had a good run in that hog and I also thought it was pretty cool Joey let you run the car. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tqj3 Posted October 10, 2006 Report Share Posted October 10, 2006 Nick, it's often called "assault and battery." The "assault" is when someone tries to hit or otherwise harm you; it's "battery" if he actually succeeds. In other words, just trying to hurt you qualifies as assault. More than likely, the sheriff's deputies or whoever were simply admitting that, though they could press charges, the local DA (who probably assumes we're all a bunch of ignorant rednecks anyway and that this kind of "assault" most likely goes on all the time at race tracks) won't waste his or her time on the case. They're probably right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redd35 Posted October 10, 2006 Report Share Posted October 10, 2006 Actually i think asault is saying im gonna hit you. Battery is the act of hitting you. Or something that gives power to the ignition. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NickHolt Posted October 10, 2006 Report Share Posted October 10, 2006 TQ and redd35, Â Thanks for the information. A lawyer I'm not.. Â I guess the point is that whatever reason the deputies gave for not arresting John didn't set too will with TD to say the least. Â Nick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maz1438 Posted October 10, 2006 Report Share Posted October 10, 2006 The only real assault that took place was to the vehicle since bruce was not hit, so yes it would have been a waste of time for any law enforcement officer to attempt to arrest him for that. And although, T.D. wayyyyy over-reacted, i am curious to know why exactly he doesnt know what is a real criminal offense at the track and is probably fortunate that he himself wasnt (should have been) placed into cuffs and arrested himself.

rebelracewriter Posted October 10, 2006 Report Share Posted October 10, 2006 back to the orignal post .can a sportmod run top 5 in this class ....johnny kellough (hooters racing)... Â Johnny, a SportMod would be way outclassed. A regular mod would need some chassis help to be competitive. Right now you have Newton Barta running an old HOT Chassis and doing well. Lawrence Mikulencak did quite well the years he ran his old HOT Chassis. Several years back Brian or Greg Killingsworth ran one of the big pavement shows in Kyle. If you're really interested you might give one of these guys a call and see what changes would be needed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wdw64 Posted October 10, 2006 Report Share Posted October 10, 2006 Jason you should think of going to THR as a challenge. Talk to Bruce and/or Joey and work on lowering the car, roll centers and getting a good set of tires and I think you will be very suprised at how well you can do. I have travelled to and raced in several bigger events with what was considered lesser equipment and weight disadvantages, but I made the A main both years and was very proud of my finishes. Work on your car and setup and just go RACE!! Seat time and experience help all drivers. Â Wes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boerneracehounds50 Posted October 10, 2006 Report Share Posted October 10, 2006 I for one didnt here that coward staement,I did here Terry prase the deputies and condem the COURTS for there laws and notupholding the law. Â Hers a question, why is Bristol the most bought ticket and the race everyone wants to be at, excieting, yes, but cause they want to see who will bump who and who will loose there cool, as for racing at Bristol, single file, bump to get passed, so to say you would never go back to SAS because of what happend is so BULL, yes 125 laps for 10 or so cars is way to much, laps should be according to how many cars you have but even when it was Romco or TIDA, there were allways half the cars drop out and allways just 2 or 3 who took off and made a show, as is today, for the most part the racing itsekf was boreing, but all in all it was a excieting show, sure no one wants to see anyone wreck but that is part of the excietment to put on a show for most, my beef with SAS and allways has been is the time or lack of time to get the wreckers and and clean up of wrecks done, why did they have to use 2 wreckers to SLOWLY haul a car off when you have 2 roll backs just sitting there.Hell Nick knows me and my coments and if I would go back it must have been ok.

Boerneracehounds50 Posted October 10, 2006 Report Share Posted October 10, 2006 i think what Jason is saying since car counts in the mods are so low and 1/2 usally drop out he could possible just run his own race and place fairly good, wouldnt be a front runner, but would be there at the end if he stay out of the way and race your oun race and it does add to look like better car count, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neal Rogers Posted October 10, 2006 Report Share Posted October 10, 2006 Assault is in the Texas penal code under 22.01 Battery however IS NOT. If Bruce Chose not to press charges, then that is his right. The most that the Deputies could have done was maybe cut the "Actor" a ticket for disorderly conduct. Punishable by a fine only- same as a traffic ticket. If your yourself are not the victim then you have no control over if charges are filed!!!!!! Like it or not!!!!!

xcellracing Posted October 10, 2006 Report Share Posted October 10, 2006 Neal, if the police there are off duty and being paid by someone else besides the department can they legally handle the situation as if they are on duty or do they have to call in on duty ociffers to make any arrests give fines etc...?
