Hi there everyone,  Bob Mercer is doing very well recovering .  Wes...  I think you had better get your own story straight .....
  let's get the story straight  wes you did not fire those paramedics they walked off the track when you told them to tow  my car off the track and they could do whatever they wanted to out by road this is not  hearsay  i heard this as he was trying  to stabilize my  neck and back so therefore this makes you unclear about your facts and your so called sense of  safety for your drivers glen would not have done this yours truly huckleberry

tow the car with you in it?

But at the end of the night a thunder car driver limped off the track and was taken to hospital by family and friends so where does that leave the situation of these people who were qualified to look after an obviously injured driver.

And btw good to see you got your computer issues figured out Bob, hope the pain is starting to go away for yah.

And noone is arguing with the upgrades in safety on the cars, noone did when it was announced that these cars would need all this for 2009, the issue is that who wants to do it with 5 nights left to go. If they told you at barrie you needed to go out and get a HANS device to race with For this Saturday night and that your car must now have a complete full containment seat in it how would you feel would you be able to do all this for Saturday.(once again not arguing with the aspect of improved safety just the lack of time)

Yes with him in it, he wanted to tow the car out into the parking lot and have them cut him out of it there.

Am I the only one that thinks... the Sunset demo derby in a couple of weeks just got a whole lot more entrys?  ;D

In all seriousness though...I'm actually very cruious how many actually do indeed change there car over seeing as there is only a handfull of weeks left...it can't be many....that's forsure.

I don't normally comment on the politics of or deciesons made by management of any racing facility but when the man who has to pull out his wallet to pay the bills makes a ruling on any aspect of his business, I have to think it is a done deal. As the other guy said earlier, pay to tow to another track, or pay to install some steel to protect yourself. It is what it is. And safe it is not.  ::)
