Ladies and Gentlemen,
One question, was this a single run before or after other paired cars? Any single runs cause of "no shows" cars go down the track last, after the paired cars. I've been in this situation before and I waited until a track official "made" me run without my opponent. This is basic sportsmanship. The only exception I can think of is when the opposing car breaks in the lanes and is CONFIRMED by a team member of the broken car. I can"t think of any other scenario, can anyone? Any thing else dosent pass the smell test! STACY MCCARTY Last edited by PONTIAC'S REVENGE; 06-28-2010 at 08:56 PM. |

Congrats Bryan.....you drove your *** off, I guess the extra time trial
![]() As for the " incident"....was there... seemed odd yet not out of the question, maybe a beef was or is with the Track Official telling the racer in question to run , however, as I was standing near Bryan's car, he didn't appear to be in any rush, in fact waited for Womack's water leak to be cleaned up ( not in his lane), other cars moved around the SS/AM car, then after being told Bryan moved forward towards the burnout box, the offended party then rolled around corner and was too late.. this was not a timed event but was not in the seconds kind of thingy, more like minutes.... Also heard rumblings of setting tire pressure seems a bit odd that your pressure in your car would not be " close" to your normal sttings, unless 30 psi is normal, I don't run ss/am but am familiar with A/SMA in comp, that seems a little high to me, quite possible this was a bit of a delay,not sure but I believe some one from a SS/DM car also painted red...attempted to lower said pressure!!! I'm sure both wished it would have been a race, however we just won't know, give Bryan credit quite possibly someone else wouldn' t have waited that long....I'm just saying have no dog in the fight however it made for some excitement in a miserable racing environment, maybe the heat also played a part in everyone's patience!!!!

I can only say I heard the announcer say
Bryan was going to make a single because his opponent was broken. There was quite a pause, which we were wondering about, before he ran. I was in the 2nd pair down and was already back before it happened. Only heard the two sides of it. They were trying to hurry everybody up due to the weather.

Well, it seems there's a lack of understanding here. Was the single run ahead of paired cars are not? Any other rhetoric is besides the point of sportsman like conduct.
If I was racing someone, i would pull out of line to give him a chance as most racers with dignity. (which I have done and people have done for me!) I wasnt there, did that happen? Anyone? Stacy McCarty |

Also,
No one has worse weather than us in div 3. Still those racers with integrity still find a way to race fairly. Weather hurryup is an excuse not a reason! Stacy McCarty |

Most racers, when told their opponent broke by an official,
and to make a single pass, would take them at their word. Not many would unhook everything, crawl out of their car, walk back into the staging lanes, and ask the other driver if the official is lying before getting back in the car and making the pass. I hate that John got so upset with Bryan. Maybe the guy that radioed the tower that John broke & could not run was the problem? Someone who was not there slandering another's integrity is out of line. Maybe the lack of understanding is with the person that was in another state at the time, and likely only heard one side of the story? Does anyone that was actually involved owe you coming on here and explaining their side? I doubt it.
