Very classy, Mike. You have always been a class act.

I'm not buying this. Yes, there was a perfect storm. A perfect storm within their software that allows a glitch like this to happen.

It's clear from the frames I posted in the other thread that there was a flash, but it clearly came AFTER the red light came on.

If there was another flash it should be easy to see from one of the other video cameras ESPN had at the race. They had at least four cameras on the starting line. One in front of the tree, two hand helds on the starting line and one on a scissor lift. They also had a camera at the 330' mark.

In the video from the camera above it should be easy to see if there was another flash right before the red light came on, but I don't think there was and they will probably never show it to you. It's much easier just to blame the photographers.

Good luck this weekend, Mike. Go get in the final again.

So thats were the Class comes from in CLASSRACER. Great job Mike.

Mike, anyone that knows you and Paula know that you are the class of the field. It has always been a pleasure to be friends with you guys for so many years. People like you and Paula is what keeps me coming back to the races. I know you handled this better than I would have and you will have many final round races in the future. Seems to me it should have been best out of 3 since you both had a red light .. Be safe and thanks for moving that bad boy Duster to super stock ... :-)

Class act for sure, don't look back now just forward. Good luck to this weekend.

Jody Lang · 02-21-2013, 04:38 PM

Both Mike and Paula are two of the nicest people I've met during my racing career.

Thanks a ton for posting about your meeting today!

It's really hard to come back up for a rerun when you've went down the track thinking you've won. I could not imagine it happening in a final round!!!

Good luck this weekend!!!

Who would expect anything different from Mike, he is truly a sportsman racer.
