Kinda funny when Jim Maggio stands up and asks the drivers if we have any questions and when i bring up the consistancy of suspentions he says next question right away not even wanting to listen or talk out what happened last year. I thought this was our meeting to try to get together and get things straight. We needed to talk about this because it was wrong what he did last year and he knows it thats why he didnt even want to hear what i had to say. I just dont want what happened to me or my father happen to any other driver out there because we love this sport and we will do anything to race everyweek even if we dont have enough money to do it. Then you have Jim suspending people without even getting to the bottom of what happened.Not even talking to the driver. I brought up the fight the week after i was suspended and no one got anything for that.The last week of racing a whole mod crew was threating and ready to kill Jim on the ramp and are they going to get the three week suspention my dad got for verbal abuse of an offical. I hate to say it but Jim is going to be the head offical next year and i dont mind that at all because if i just handle myself and my crew there wont be any problems. I just dont want what happened to me happen to someone else.I was leading the points no officals around and i get a letter in the mail the next week saying im out for 2 weeks for something me or my crew didnt do. I really dont think there should be any suspentions unless there is a real fight and someone gets hurt. The pushing and shoving the crews going into other people pit shouldnt get a suspention. But i believe we should start the driver of the crew that is at fault in the rear the next week. If it happens again 2 weeks in the rear. I bet that driver would keep his cool and his crew in check from then on. Just my opinion on what should happen next year and i wish we could of talked it out at the meeting but what can you expect. I hope Jim can turn over a new leaf and learn from Mike his assistant. Treat people like you want to be treated.I know we arent always going to agree with the calls and you guys have the toughest job at the track no doubt but lets keep it in a postive manor.Dont talk down to us or treat us like dirt treat us like racers who live ,sweat ,and breath racing. 81
