Come on Rick Bailey tell us your Rick Stewart story

roseracing · 07-14-2010, 07:43 AM

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

Thanks Chris for the explaination.I knew there had to be more to the story.You ,your family and racing operation are all first class and a stand out in our sport.As racers, all we ask from any sanctioning body is a SAFE AND FAIR competition event.Sounds like you got screwed but I have a feeling we will see you in the winners circle very soon.

If Rick Stewart interferred with the stage sequence after 3 bulbs were on he clearly should have backed both racers out and allowed them to re stage and race for the title.
There has to be a video record of exactly what happened.

It's a shame the guy who is in charge of the starting line does not have sense enough to realize his actions may have caused a major issue that cost someone a possible win..........

If Chris' version of the story is truthful (and I don't have any reason not to believe him, but I wasn't there to see it first hand), then Rick Stewart screwed up. Rather than running in front of Reg's car, he should have simply thrown the switch on the tree to put on the blinking red bulbs (I don't know what the official term is for this state). Had he done that, he could have gotten the camera guy out of the way, and re-staged both competitors.

Too bad for Justin. Obviously, there's no guarantee that he would have won, but it would have been nice to have seen the race settled under normal conditions. Unfortunately, I'd guess the events on the starting line won't get Justin anything except a conference call with the suspension review board (and the ~$300 fee to pay for that review).

more photos from comp plus.... I am sorry but i do not see Stewart moving anywhere and it looks like Justin's car is creeping... lot of smoke off the back of the car .... did the trans slip and the car rolled the beams?
