Re: Div.6 Summit ET Finals- Boise Idaho
People should know the rules before getting into this thread because you will end up looking like an idiot. Unnamed sources, and secret names dont cut it on a topic like this. You got something to say own up.
How dare you guys quote un named and un informed sources.
First of all the rules states , YOU MUST ATTEND 50 % of the races at that track in order to qualify for the race of champions. As written it says ATTEND , like it or not that is what it says. WHAT DONT YOU GUYS GET ABOUT THAT . I dont give a **** if you dont like it. We left only after Glendora confirmed that was the criteria and we definitely met that criteria.
Unfortunately some members of Team Ashcroft decided to protest, guys like Closkey, Thompson, Gibson, and maybe even the management , eventhough management denied it. We even had Kenny Orser that was on Mission that had an issue, we knew that at least he had the guts to tell us that .
Stefan has gotten an apology, from Closkey,Jeff and Orser, but i am PISSED. HOW DARE YOU PEOPLE, SOME OF WHO WERE NOT EVEN THERE directly or indirectly accuse us of cheating and then hide behind sources. WHAT DO YOU PEOPLE THAT WERE NOT EVEN THERE getting involved for .Its none of your business and you are just a bunch of gossip mongers.
The intent of the rule as explained to us is to prevent guys like Stefan from going out and racing at far away tracks like Medicine hat for exapmple just to get into the race of chanpions. Let's face it this is the Jody Lang rule they came up with a few years ago. Unfortunately it keeps the best of the best in some cases from being in the race of champions.
NONE OF THIS applied to us , we MET THE CRITERIA. Stefan's home track IS MISSION.
VICKY, WHAT was Sibleys home track ? You congratulate him because he is your friend. WHAT CRITERIA DID HE MEET ? We are not a bunch of friggin cry babies, we did not protest him , he did nothing to us we like the guy . Good for him he won.
This whole thing was disgusting and the whole bunch of you should be ashamed of your selves. We took Stefan girlfriend and her little daughter and told that this was a great thing to see. Everyone cheering in the stands, eventhough we did not have a big team , and only 2 cheering in the stands being the 9 year old and her Mom , but she was still excited. She got to wave a Canadian flag that was borrowed from Ashcroft , until they took it back with all the bull**** started . Nice sportsmanship guys. Disgusting, and you should all be ashamed of yourselves.
This race was not for the champions, it was for the guys that participated the most. You guys said this was not personal, you better believe it you bastards that participated in this its personal.
For those of you that think Stefan is not a good enough bracet racer to to be in the race of champions STEP UP , ANYWHERE , ANYTIME . THE ONLY PERSON THIS WEEKEND ON TEAM ASHCROFT THAT EARNED MY RESPECT IS CURTIS MUNSON. I WILL GO OUT OF MY WAY TO HELP THIS guy. A LOT OF PEOPLE I THOUGHT WERE MY FREINDS ALSO PROVED THEIR WORTH and I am done with the rest of you.
As for the race of champions, it should be the guy that wins on Sunday as they have to go through every body ,not just the guy that attends the most races and ends up on the top of the points. Some of the best racers cant be at all the points events. Racing has changed and the rules need to be updated so the best guys can participate and not be penalised because they are supporting the NHRA by running divisional and national events. it has always been a believe of ours as you get better you try and move up, that does not mean you dont want to race with the guys you always raced with.
WE ALSO BELIEVE THAT YOU SHOULD NOT HAVE TO RACE ANYONE ON YOUR TEAM , BUT ANY OTHER TEAM WHETHER IT IS CANADIAN OR AMERICAN is fair game..
So any of you cry babies from Ashcroft that did not think we belonged there you should just have stepped up and sent us home.
