The white flag was waving when the wreck happened. If you watch the video clip, none of the cars stopped forward momentum until Mike hit the 19. As long as the 07 and the 19 were still moving forward, which they were, there should not have been a caution thrown. Even though the 19 spun, he saved it and was driving away. Mike slid into the picture and both he and the 19 stopped, that should have been the yellow. The rest of the field was almost a straight away back, so time should have been allotted for them to keep going before the caution. The 07 kept going, yet was sent to the rear and the 19 could have continued going if Mike hadn't slid into the deal. I understand your view point, so you should understand mine. I was right there and am also watching the whole thing unfold on video. If the caution was thrown, it was way to soon, because both cars involved were still going forward. Watch the video. No one is crying here about who finished where, we are trying to point out possible problem areas to help make NELMA as fair and even a playing field as possible having teams from all over the North East. We don't want to end up with another division with inconsistant calls. Defend Mike if you must, I am not changing my opinion, I just call it like I see it. I like Mike and was one of the first to congratulate him with his time of 14.566, so this is not a vendetta against him. If it was any other driver, you would probably be upset they weren't sent to the back. I personally could care less who won the race, I am a fan of good, clean, fair racing and may the best or luckiest car win.
