Re: Super Gas Burndown
I guess the issue is...He waits at least 30 seconds after you put your top light on to even move....its not illegal...just annoying.......then he goes blink blink and puts both on....
cbs what do you guys think..... |

Re: Super Gas Burndown
Hughes could have staged first and there would have been no burndown. Why is it Ed's problem? I was in the staging lanes and Hughes was heard to say "Ed I hope you have your motor ice cold". Hughes was going to the line expecting to sit.
Just 2 racers doing it their own way, no harm, no foul. |

Re: Super Gas Burndown
Sounds to me like Jim knew Ed was going to sit and was just letting him know - he really was going to sit.

Re: Super Gas Burndown
If someone has to do the same thing every time they stage.....why in the hell would you want to do what they expect you to do !!!!!!! no brainer here guys. If a guy has to turn the top bulb on first, Im goin to beat them to the starting line. Letting anyone dictate how the staging procedure will go is ignorant.I stage when i want to stage, not when someone tells me when to stage.....I cant be alone on this !. CBS ? FOR REAL ?

Re: Super Gas Burndown
1SG02; I can't agree with you more! It is not Jim's responsibility to go in first just because he knows Ed likes to stage last. Everyone should just stage however it works out. I just do my thing and if I get there first, fine. If I don't that's fine too. I agree with CBS, the race should be won or lost on the track not because someone is playing games on the starting line. It is called "courtesy staging" for a reason. That is just not courteous! I would melt my motor to the ground before I would go in first against anyone like this!

Re: Super Gas Burndown
Staging games are bad...whats the big deal...99 percent of everybody stages properly....I remember back a few years ago...a certain group of racers used to back into the beams...and with their past history....everybody(not me really) took offense to it...So they were told not to do it anymore...and now a few years later...not only have these guys won more races....we actually like them....and enjoy racing with them....
I'm thinking its a west coast thing..... I think I woke Todd up....did I strike a nerve.... I race in all the divisions (except 4) and really there are only a few that mess around...and maybe only 1 that had had any success..... |

Re: Super Gas Burndown
Maybe its just D7 Not to pick on anyone. I raced another D7 driver this year at Indy. I think he took more then his share of time to get in. I bumped in and I looked over and he never moved.
Oh well Rock sorry about hanging you out in Joliet earlier this year. lol |

Re: Super Gas Burndown

Ed sits 20 feet behind the line....and doesn't move till you stage.... |
