Team orders?

RULER · 02-19-2016, 05:10 AM

Does it make a difference if it happens at the start of the year or at the end of the year when everybody starts screaming foul, because it looks like it has started early this season, check the results from Pomona for your answer....

Which class, Stock, Super Stock or Comp? Maybe S/G or S/C? Or something of the Pro variety? It happens in every class!

Thats just the norm for the west coast.
Kind of like winning a 6 round race and getting the same points as the guy who wins a 7 round race. That makes sence.

Pretty sure he is referencing Jeff Taylor going -.176 red in the Defrank GT car vs Jimmy D in round 3. Winner received a 4th round bye. Personally, I don't have an issue with "team orders" but I can understand both sides.

I can see both sides. Not my business.

Impossible to prove or disprove......No way to police either if you
could prove it.

Why would it matter to anyone who is not on the team? That's what a team does, whatever it takes for the benefit of the team. Beginning of the year, end of the year, west coast, your coast.........................why would anyone care?

Why would it matter? I don't know ask drew skillman. I bet he could give you one reason.

That's how it's done in a team atmosphere. All in for the team.

May not be orders at all. Maybe he just bulbed. Did you see DeFrank's lights in eliminations? The guy is a machine. He doesn't need anyone to take a dive for him.

But, if it was a dive, who cares. I supposed I'd give it away too if I lined up against the car's owner. I doubt DeFrank gave him any orders.
