If the Sheik is legit then his money is golden, I don't think Alan Johnson, Larry Dixon, and Del Worsham want to race so bad that they would take money from a terrorist. Everyone is entitled to an opinion but I think you might want to re think or reword what you said there Julie.

No female with any brains would ever feel comfortable around any foreign oil sheik. Nor should they: The countries that house them treat and value women worse than dogs.

Julie Jordan needs to rethink and reword absolutely nothing.

He did'nt screw up the coil wire fell off you must not have seen those mags shaking like they did on the show last night. And if you believe that the coil wire fell off I have a bridge looking for a new owner LOL

Dixon knew the wire fell off that's why he never stepped on the throttle again.
Had to keep those butterflies shut in case of low flying birds.

Once again everyone is entitled to their opinion however you two are basically saying all men from the mid east are the same in so many words. How much do you really know about their culture? You can't generalize a person based on what their culture does, not everyone follows suit. So for you to say she should be uncomfortable around them is a out of line because you or Julie don't know the owners/partners in Al-Anabi racing.
I try to give everyone a fair shake and not judge then by their "culture". So let me get your's and Julie's thought process correct using myself as an example; I have a friend who has several Confederate Flag's on his vehicle and tow vehicle, should I as an African American be uncomfortable around him because of this? this is basically what you said that because of the way people in the mid east treat their women she shouldn't be comfortable. If I missed something let me know.

and what was the 'ORIGINAL' thread about....uh? I forgot

I like how he said at first that he just lifted when it went in to tire shake then he blamed it on a coil wire but watching the replay I never saw the butterflys open after he lifted!?!

You have nothing to fear of some flag. You can walk down the streets of Philadelphia, Mississippi, and the odds of you being accosted by some old klanner animal, like Lawrence Rainey, would be zero.

Now, on the other hand, as we speak, sharia law is quite active in the Middle East, even Qatar. Please tell me I don’t have to explain sharia law to you.

Racist? That word means absolutely nothing anymore. It’s been so overused and misused. Now, if you wish to call me a “culturalist”, I’ll plead guilty. There are some cultures that are downright loathsome.

No one should have had to tell Larry anything, he should have been able to figure it out by the fact that it was Saturday and almost dark and looking like more rain. He just made a goof, it happens, I'm sure he will force that thing to the finish line on every single run the rest of the year now! They can afford to tear some stuff up LOL

I have to back what an earlier person said about Qatar being our ally-we have military bases there and the country is quite ok with that.
