I really get a kick out of some of you people that have obviously never raced before but I am going to tell you what it feels like to have it happen to you from EXPERIENCE!
Bobby Stines was running 3rd and through a "slide job" on 2nd place John Memmer and cleared John but drove right over the hood of my car as I was leading the race on the high side in turn 4 for :checkered: in a heat race. Memmer won, Stines ended up 2nd and 4th place Wessmiller passed me too for 3rd. Needless to say they only took 3 to the feature and I had to run the B-main (in which I turned over) so I went home tore up.
Now you tell me what a fight (drivers taking care of drivers) would have accomplished? Sure it was a "racing thing" but what was fair about rewarding Bobby with a feature position for taking another competitor out to do it? MSCS did nothing so YES it will happen again just like Hunter did to Bland.
But if they had penalized Bobby or Hunter they wouldn't do it again.
So in conclusion, since nobody thinks we should control wreckless driving we are now a high speed, high $$$$ demolition derby instead of racing. I guess we should start putting spiked hubcaps on our wheels and what ever other defensive mechanisms we can think of on our cars.
