I saw two cars sideways on the track, one was the lapped car the other St.Onge, both sideways with one hooked on the other. Then St.Onge backed up into 57 Steve Lang and wrecked again. So if thats not INVOLVED i dont know what is?
Yes It sucks for Darryl, but it also sucks for the lapped car. The guy going a lap down is racing too, its not his job to roll over, its the faster car who has to use some caution in traffic.
But if you side-swipe another car that IS going to cause the caution, and you dont stop, spin, or drag body parts, your NOT involved.
But as for lapped cars, I was one of them in that race, and I just plain moved outa the way for the leaders, couse im smarts enough to know when im beat!!
Okay so my point was never that St Onge WASN'T an involved car... I get it that he was. My point was he was the LEADER, and he was taken out by a car about to go a lap down. Fact of the matter is the #00 and the #10 mini ended up going backwards in exactly the same place on the track. After contact with someone else. In the case of the #10, what I saw was he tried to drive through spun cars, and in the case of the #00 , he was spun by 21x who then tried to drive through him. I'm one of the guys who was pulling the body out on BOTH sides...
My point here was if you're going to put involved cars to the back, then do it consistently, and if a guy tries to drive through a wreck he should go on the trailer. Or let's look at it this way, the leader should never go to the back 98% of the time. And you could make a case for the guy who is leading and some guy doesn't give me enough room when I come by to lap him, he's getting bounced.
The rule as applied is stupid and needs to be evaluated before next year. And if certain officials are not being impartial then they should kick stones...
And Ashley I know which side I'm on and so does everyone else. As I recall you ran down to get a picture with the #10 after his win... And I recall you telling me "rules is rules" after Darryl got burned Sept 6... Other people saw the #10 have contact so I'm not blind, but it's pretty clear to me what's happening here. A lot of favoritism...
Problem is racers only see what they want to see even if its their drivers fault so when u say put the leader back to the front after a spin, the other side say "he chopped down " he brake checked me " blah blah so hey all involved cars to the back and as Thunder say's before the season starts you classify what involved means, if three cars are side ways in front of you and you have no choice but you stop and you touch one slightly technically are you involved ? I say yes.
Hey I'm all for close racing and all... But I'm all about fairness too.
Just calling it as I see it, for what it's worth.
If everybody's going to the back then fine, some nights you might not end up where you should be, and some other nights you might end up where you don't deserve.
And if you pile it into some other guy because you want to keep your spot you should be waiting for your buddies at Tim Hortons...
Well,this is one of the first times,i have to admit i agree with THUNDER,thou he still is a punk...lol
The flagman,"ironchest"is all over the map,maybe too much shell shock,or army hazing...time for him to say good bye,sooo long,good byeeeeeeeee. ;D ;D ;D ;D
