Ted, I pose the same question to you as it was YOUR actions on Sunday that started this. If I am "just a photographer" as you and your boys say, why was it necessary to shout expletives at me when Kyle was being black flagged? I could understand it if you thought I was an official, but since you guys don't feel I am one then why lash out? Nothing adds up Ted.
I have no "hatred" for your son. Honestly, I believe he has talent. But his earned black flags through the course of the season should speak for themselves and you have no right to turn that anger about that towards me. Talk to an "official".

the thing about 'MAKING' people move up spencer, is that the four cylendar class, to COMPETE takes a lot more money than it does for the four fun. A championship 4 banger sells for around 5 large, not 500 bux. The fact is some people can't afford this type of cost, especiallyw he ur buying tires and because ur heads shaved u have to run 110 and things of that nature. The payouts for some people are not enough to make it work. I like the idea, but i think it will push a lot of people out of the sport.
You raise a good point about the cost of a championship car. How did it get to this point so quickly? Why does it cost $5000 to have a championship car in what was designed to be an entry level class? I think that more control has to be placed on the lower class cars to ensure that they don't cost that much to put together a championship car.
i no i for sure would be done racing if i had to move up to the four cylinder divison. i would be able to throw a car together half-a** but it would only have a cage in it, no motor or suspension work as it is all way too techniccal for me.
take a page out of the old exhibition hobby car racing book, and force the top 10 to move up....

Sorry for that name calling Mark , just so happens you were first on sight . However it did come from that little comment i made to you about you not being happy in taking Kyles picture again..... seems to me you had the problem then and I'm sure ill never understand why , but that's okay now , you dealt the cards where they lay and may i remind you , that yes you were hear before me on this site and not once did i hide from anyone including you . And for any of you my son has not commented anything on this site. I did how ever get a call about what was posted on this site and really bashing the track or owner was for sure not appropriate. Just maybe next time you want to blame someone for something leave there name off , and further more I'm sure you read the other emails that were in fashion in defense for Kyle .... too bad you don't see it that way.
This is a comment towards the guy who said Honda's are not good race cars , well it doesn't matter much to me but if i had my choice of race car i for sure would rather drive a car that uses its hind gears to get around . The front wheel drive cars are much harder to drive ...... hats off to the front wheel drive runners , whether it be a Honda , Toyota or whatever.
Thanks to those who replied for Kyles defense its nice to see that i was not the only person seeing this stuff go on. And to all who may have or not noticed i was out of province and had a picture sent to me of a car that had flipped over, I'm thankful the driver was not hurt but the picture truly shows the bottom side of the car exposing the exhaust . The exhaust was not stock it was an actual funnel , it went from the exhaust manifolds collector and then funneled out to about a 6 inch exhaust ( is this legal ? ) Just wondering.
Great site though too bad the postings got out of hand !!!!!
