By then sounds of things, your night lived up to my predictions LOL
Glad I wasn't the one to waste 80 bucks of gas to save 65 bucks of steel on that...
Okay Mark I'm reading this again and it still sounds the same to me. Yes you mention lack of driver respect and lack of black flags has "caused these wrecks". If drivers are allowed (I take it this means the starters are allowing it) to bash each other and "not suffer consequences" (another assumption but I would think lack of black flags), then the wrecks happen.
Your analysis of what I said is correct Deb, but your conclusion isn't quite right. I'm not blaming the starters for the rough driving, I'm blaming the disrespectful drivers. The starter should then be using the black to punish them, that's what it is there for. How am I 'throwing blame' at the starters for the rough driving, other than to say they should black flag the little buggers?
Nothing against you personally Mark but you're not even there to make the judgement call in the first place.
You are absolutely right, I haven't been there. I have been going from conversations with numerous people I talk to that are there - drivers, staff and fans - who tell it like it is. And I understand that the directive is for less yellows and blacks to keep the show going and that the final call hasn't been Rob's as it has in the past - please correct me if I'm wrong. So by that I am not blaming Rob, I'm blaming the situation he and the officials are currently in.
But understand by the same token you haven't been there for the last 5 years - I have, and I've heard first hand on the radio how a handful of these Four Funs need to be constantly babysat into not trying to kill their peers on the track! Unfortunately that job has fallen on poor Rob's shoulders, and he's suffered the migranes because of it. But back then he actually made that call.
All I'm trying to say is they need to get a cuff in the head every once in a while to set them straight. Harold said it well a few posts back. Is this right? Of course not. But those select few just keep doing it and won't stop until they move up and get dressed down by faster more experienced cars.
The bottom line is it is all moot now anyway because the class is dead.

Well Mark; you being an OPP officer I guess you know what you are talking about?
Wes, as an owner u really should not be publicly bashing someone, looks bad on you man.
You got your wish, won't be anywhere near Peteborough. Kids bike races, carnival side shows, legends, and unsafe can't be bothered to put any effort into 4-funs... I run with the big boys..
Mr Ross, over the last couple weeks you have said something on about every subject at sunset speedway. you don't run there so why do you care so much or do you have to have the last word on everything. Why don't you just stick to posting about Kawartha and how long the line up is at the food bus.
CHEAP AND GOOD FOOD THOUGH!
