Well Hope to see you all again sept 26th Thank You Mike Hearty #20
You're a class act Mike and I for one am happy to see the #20 unloaded at any track I go to. Thanks for making the trip 🙂
Hopefully if you ever need a couple laps to sort ur car out again between races,they will give you that chance.I seen you pull out on the track for a couple laps,then the tech man running out there,next thing ur not allowed.hmmm
This has been allowed for sunset cars,and i think with you travelling the distance you did,should of been no problem,kind of like "hey thanks for travelling 7 hrs to race here".
Iam sure there was some reason why Ted didnt allow it,but i think it was in poor taste. 😮 😮 😮
I don't know this for sure so this is why I'm asking. Isn't the rule for returning to the track during heats, assumably due to how short they are that you are not allowed? I think thats what Spencer said because I was wondering the same thing.
I do agree though that some liance should be allowed for someone travel that far. But I guess a rule is a rule.
Either way, as a fan I appreciate you making the long drive to put on a show, even with your bad luck that night. Hopefully we'll see you more often.
Cheers!

Some times spending more time in school wouldn't hurt.
