An argument you can not win!!!!
Justin's car apparently rolled out of the beams and they red lighted him.
He jumped out of the car on the line and had words with Mr. Stewart. An argument you can not win...........

Re: An argument you can not win!!!!
Hey Ryan
Yes it was Seattle and the driver is Justin Lamb. He runs S/G, Super Stock, Comp. His car rolled back out of the beams and then all hell broke loose.... Can't argue with the man in the straw hat..... thats a no no....

Re: An argument you can not win!!!!
Apparently both parties in this case like to show their butts in public but more so the racer. "Priviledged" racers tend to do that IMHO.

Re: An argument you can not win!!!!
What a mess, everything started normal Reg Wilson lit his prestage bulb and then Justin lit his then Reg went in full stage on his side and Justin started creeping forward at this time Rick Stewart ran in front of Reg's car waving his hands and Justin saw it and thought that there was either something wrong with the track or with Reg's car. What Reg and Justin could not see was a ESPN cameraman in front of the right front fender of Reg's car with 3 bulbs lit and autostart on. Justin then saw Rick run back to between the cars so he tried to get staged as fast as he could but as soon as he moved forward the bulbs started flickering and the tree activated. Justin saw a flash of the tree so he instantly matted it and let go the button but saw a red lite and shut it off. Reg never even left the starting line even after getting a clean tree because he saw the same thing Justin did and thought Rick wanted him to stop. At about this time Rick went over to Reg and told him that he had won because Justin's car had backed out of the beam and had Reg go down the track. This is when Justin got out of his car to argue with Rick. Reg told Justin that he though that they were going to restage them and have the final that is why he never left. Was it the right thing to do? we are talking about a National event final who knows if he will ever get back to another one and on top of that there is a $8000 difference between win and r/u
Food for thought what would have happened if Justin was lucky enough to get his car into a full stage and Reg never left the starting line? would that be fair to Reg? But we the whole Lamb Family would like to tell Reg Wilson you drove a great race all weekend and you are now a National Event Champion. Great Job and enjoy it.

Re: An argument you can not win!!!!
Thank you for the clear view Chris.
Based on Chris' information Justin has a right to argue, Rick Stuart was in the right to protect the camera man and Reg's race. IMO camera guy was the cause (wrong place wrong time - safety issue and potential distraction to Reg). Rick should ALWAYS void the process first (let the two racers know to stop, then wave the camera guy out of the way) if he sees anything that is going to potentially disrupt the race then restart the contest. In hindsight Justin should have sit there with Reg (not taking the tree) and both demanded a clean race. 2cents! Last edited by lazrcng; 07-14-2010 at 05:40 AM. |

Re: An argument you can not win!!!!
I wouldn't know what to do in that situation. I know that I would be upset if that happened to me.
Thanks Chris for clearing everything up. I hope someday we can cross paths again. I think Rick Stewart made a mistake on this one. Heck, he's human too. This race shold have been rerun. Thanks, Brad Rose Rose Racing |
