I e-mail joe before the last race. I told him that i thought i would stay off the boards and leave well enough alone. Needless to say, i check the boards and a few select people want to bash me, some people that do not even have a clue. They are out in right field with a bowling ball!!! I am now going to address each person. Remember, this is my opinion on the facts that happened.
First of all, the track. It was done well, alittle slick in the beginning, but came around well. Running a few extra laps made for a better begining.
Jon haegele. I did not care if mike hires got dq'd at new egypt, i was there to support shon elk. Hires was declared illeagle by mark naftzinger, ( he techs at big diamond ), and was over turned by slim. End of story. What bothers me is mike hires and pat hires in the tech area telling both tech guys that his car did not even come with a 350, it came with a 305. Just uttering that statement should have been grounds for dq. Hires won. Thats it!!!
Steve haegele. You are right i do have alot of balls!!! Do you even know what happened??? Watch the video. I was low in four. I was down on motor, i could flat foot it through the turns. Did you even see the 312, or the 321 barrell ass through the corner and push me into hires. I guess not huh??? Yes i hit hires and took him out, but i had help. Were you in the pits when i went over to hires pits, surrounded by 8 of his pit guys trying too apoligize to mike hires and ended up in a shouting match because they did not want to talk about it??? It takes balls to stand up and even put myself in that position. I could have just packed up and said to hell with them, but i did not.
Gutter7, i was not driving the 70 at the last big diamond race. It was my brother because i totaled his car at grandview, (thanks kenny ).
Kulik, where do i begin with you. You stated that you did not cut down on me. But neetspectator was nice enough to show us all the video, and even slowed it down in slow motion. I saw my car heading toward the guard rail, watch the video and look at the rear of my car, where was i suppost to go???? In the begining of the race, i guess you forgot that you cut me down in turn three. You were all over the place. Please think before you speak. You said you did not cut me, but you were proven wrong. I was two pit stalls away from where you pitted. You got something to say then say it at the track. I am not hard to find. You also proven my point by apoligizing to everyone here for you driving. As for class, i got it all!!!
Joe neets, you are right, it was a racing incident. It was a good race and the weather was great too, keep up the good work.
Uncle peety, i have no beef with you!!!
Ok, i know and you all know that i am a aggressive driver, i do what i need to do to get the job done, but when i get accused for something, you know i will defend it. When my car got totaled, i did not cry that the orange nova #8 hit me. I went home and did what i had to do. I wasn't happy about it, but i did not pick on the driver for something that was out of his control, (track conditions), We are all involved in racing incidents every now and then. Just deal with it and move on.
That's it. I am out!!!
