What is the story why TC hit turn one last night at Riverhead?:confused:

He was running with a R/F flat, trying to get a yellow, when he made contact with Silk and hit the outside wall just before turn 1, tearing up the R/F suspension. Who hit who is up for debate, depending on where one might have been viewing the incident from.

It cost him the point lead too. The 2 team is the new point leader. Interestingly, TC has won twice as much money as the point leader. TC has won $30,125 and Todd has won $15,925. You don't see that too often.

all he had to do is to stop on the track bring the yellow out and lose 3 laps at most and he woulda been fine..but he went to hook silk to bring the yellow out and put him self into the wall

TC also started the the restart with the flat and chain ganged the whole outside row, which cost him in the end. He could have pitted and put on a tire and gain position and kept his points lead.

He does it all the time. He did it at NHMS and he did it at Seekonk.

At first I thought Silky got him, then maybe Ted didn't seen (or know) he was there. Like Walter said, depends where you were sitting. Either way, the results were pretty bad.

I was sitting in turn 1 where it happend he had a flat waited for everyone to pass then it looked to me like he tried to clip the car he got into ( Probably to maybe spin the car to draw a caution to fix his tire) but nahhh TC would never do something like that lol

it looked like maybe something broke while he was driving around with the flat that made him hook left and bounced off the 79 into the fence. However it happened he could have done it differently and just stopped high by the wall and brought out the caution that way but......
