Speaking of scoring with the transponder system,who were the top 5?Was Gresel 4th or 5th,and was Mathews 5th or 4th?If Gresel was 4th then why did he not go through tech and why did Mathews have to go through tech if he was 5th?

Careful....

Careful???    If you don't like the answers don't ask the questions.

That was directed at the suggestion that the officials and drivers could be in cahoots. Its inflammatory, and the track staff cannot defend themselves here. It's like kicking a guy that's already in handcuffs...not cool.

criticize the refereeing?? hands full?? would 12 cars be easier to keep track of?? cause if they keep that shit up that is exactly what they will have!!

Orders to get the race done due to time?? give me a break!! If the fireworks are that friggin important than maybe they should just have those one night after the bone stocks. The people in the stands paid their hard earned money to see some good hard properly scored racing not some hurry up and get this done so we can fire off our few thousand dollars of tnt..... enforce the procedures and take the time to line up cars properly. Isn't that why we have the transponder system.

I guess one way to sum up the evening as I was told by one of the higher up staff members.... everything cant be perfect, just deal with it!!!

Easy big fella.  🙂  Remember my vantage point is vastly different from yours. (and I don't listen to the scanner) If I'm off base, I will certainly concede that. But honestly, from the cheap seats, I've seen races way messier than that one, and not that long ago either.

I have to admit, I was surprised that the restart BS between Kennedy and whomever was beside him was allowed to continue...and that's what caused a lot of your problems. At one point coming off of turn 4, Urlin gave it the gas and at the moment that happened, Kennedy let off and just coasted. There was brake checking and all kinds of garbage going on up there.

At one point they were saying you drove under the flagstand shaking your fist...I don't blame you but I would have shook it at the car you just congratulated.

I'm torn. I like Jesse and have made no secret of that....but he shouldn't have been allowed to play games like that either. Looks like it wrecked a few guy's nights.

your right I was shaking my fist.... glad they caught that up in the tower, cause they sure has hell missed a lot of other much more important stuff, lol.... i was shaking my fist in disgust that they were letting those starts go. as far as congratulating the 10 team, why wouldnt I, they did what they came to do anyway possible and the track let them get away with it... so I think congratulations are in order!!!!

Yes the track or should i say flagman let them win, even after multiple warnings as herd on the scanner... but if the man in charge will allow it then the team should take advantage of it.

I question weather the same would have been allowed from the 28, 3, 81, or even 43? 

it was a bad show, and the restarts were the cause of a lot of wrecked cars. wonder if the track will assist in the repair?
