Hey Paul Jr,  Pinky is right!! if you don't know what actually happened you need to stay quiet. I had a front row seat to the goings on. The 07 pinched off the 72 as the 72 WAS at his door.  I watched from my car the 07 look to see who was on his inside, then turn hard into the 72. Then he pinched me down to the grass as I went by. After the race, AGAIN right in front of me, I watched the 07 come up to the 72 and give the finger, shake his fist and point at the 72 then rub up on him. As the cars came around the track the  72 and 07 went at it. I also watched the 72 finally have enough once in the pit area. Should he had gone to his pit? YES, but he has had enough of this crap and reached his breaking point. The facts are the 07 and the 72 are fast, they have traded paint, been wrecked, been threatend, laid hands on each other. And I have to say everyone is sick of holding there breathe when we get around the 07. I know many drivers out there feel the same way. I can walk up to the 07 and ask for a part, talk about the weather, shake his hand on a good run, but i am not comfortable racing with him, as MANY of us feel the same way. Maybe he likes having that intimidation factor over us, maybe he truly believes he has done nothing wrong, I don't know nor do I care. All I can say is you are DEAD WRONG on this one!!! I personally know Joanne is at her wits end with all of this, and when a team from "SLAMBORO" has a issue that has gotton this far out of control you know there is a problem!! If the only case of "rough" driving was simply between the 07 and the 72, well then maybe you could defend him, but lets see who else he has had words with....66,28,44,49,21,
22,0, the 24 at Barrie.......The list goes on! There is a common problem here!!! Don't buy into the spin that the 07 puts on things, Look at the facts!! We all race for fun, its a luxury! I know for a fact when you have to worry about your safety both on the track and in the pits, the fun goes away real fast. I am not picking on the 07, I myself have pulled some pretty bone head moves over the years, But i don't feel I have ever had the reputation that he carries. Again if that's his deal and he enjoy's that, then so be it but its not welcome at sunset. There is a great core group of drivers who will tell you this is enough!!!

Just my 2 cents worth, I am sure i will catch heat for opening my useless yap, but Paul Jr you got it wrong!

there is three sides to every story here guys, i heard the 72 got into the 07 and then at the end of the race 07 pulled up beside 72 and gave him the old what was that for? then the 72 smacked into him and then when they got off the track in the pits the 72 stoped and dan couldn't stop in time and he ran into the back of him and the 22 ran into the 07 and then the 72 got out of his car and said he wanted to fight dan and finish him and 07 got out and choked him on his hood while 72 couldn't do much and was just kicking and putting his hand in 07's face. Now i only saw from the time 07 got out of the car the rest of the story is from what i heard from everyone around except the 72. So i don't know if this story is the truth or what is the truth. Plus, there are lots of other dangerous situations and dangerous guys out there just look at the SS video, ended my season and luckily i was able to keep the car from bouncing back into everyone else.

I don't know Paul looks like in the video you might have just wrecked yourself, I know that the 4 car got into you going into  turn 1 and coming off turn 2 but if you had of just lifted instead of holding you foot to the floor trying to straighten it out you probably would not have wrecked. You were already wrecking yourself when the 4 car got into the back of you coming out of the turn.

Trevor Lahey i think you should us a real name and show everyone who you are instead of talking smack about them since you know everything that goes on why don't you tell us the car you are a pit crew for/ where you sit in the stands so people know exactly who you are

Dangerous Dan sure filled the bill Saturday night........but I feel bad for Randy......that close in the points and he loses a night.  Paul, that was a hard hit you took, but looking at the video....my opinion is....as it looked on Saturday night....that you had a little help in turn 1 to get you squirrley and coming out of 2 the 4 car didn't have much room to go anywhere and he caught your back end.  Not his fault......I would blame it on the tap going into corner 1.....and that looked like the 66.  However it is what it is, rubbing is racing, EXCEPT where Dangerous Dan is concerned.

Monette 72;

 You are more correct than to preceding comments.  I stood on the back of corner #1 . That is exactly what went down. There was no need for that kind of things to go on. Maybe #07 should go to Peterboro for the Fall Colours, and try that their.  I have been around Sunset since 1970.
