I noticed some of the posts on this thread were quite late at night. Was it a late running program, and how was the crowd size? It was a tough decision to miss a race at TSS, but I did it and saw an excellent race at Paragon. Sound like the fans at Paragon and TSS both got their nickels worth!

You sir must not know that the layover flag means for the lap cars to hold their line.
I'm sure it was a mistake. Lord knows we all make them. I have raced with this Gentleman for several years.
He a very good guy. He would never do anything to put anyone in harms way.
It was probably a split second decision and he thought he was giving the leaders there line.
It sure is easy to set in the stands and say what a guy should or shouldn't do.

I didn't judge his character at all I'm sure he is a great guy. I have been in the drivers seat and know what's is like to be lapped. I'm just saying a couple of those guys couldn't hold their line when the leaders got to them, most could but some just went from top to bottom and made it hazardous for the guys leading the pack and cost Brady Short a chance at a win.

Our racing family had a great time and it was a great racing event. Got home at 2:30 but the action on the track was great talking about for the 3 hour trip home.

TSS was done at 10:15. Real nice crowd. Everybody was ready to enjoy the weather. Racing was very good and Price-Miller put on a show in the MOWA feature. Only two classes and both sprints so how bad could it be?
