As all of us try to recruit new fans,is this what we "Promote" to potential new fans,especially young ones?
Is this as a Responsible Parent you would take your child to watch?

I wouldn't say disturbing, but definitely disappointing! Especially in front of, a lot of young, impressionable fans! Not the way you handle a disagreement, for sure!

I would see this as a “teaching opportunity “ for our younger or new fans. I’d tell them, “Even in the best communities you’ll occasionally find Dickheads!”

I saw it yesterday and thought it was a real black eye for out sport. Reminded me of a video a year or two ago of an altercation between two late model drivers when one of the drivers jumped on the other car and actually went through the windscreen (don't believe it was glass). One of the participants was barred for life from the track involved.

So disappointing what this track has become. This track is a prime example of an owner running it into the dirt. Track officials calling keeping other track officials from helping the situation. I don't care what form of sports you are involved with, there will always be incidents. Officials break them up and move on. This is yet another reason why I only visit this track once per year.

Going Saturday to see some much needed pavement sprint car racing and to pay homage to Tony Elliott. As far as the fight is concerned most usually happen in the pits out of fans site. Most upsetting part may have been the witnessing of the tasing. Looked like the refs were just letting them go at it waiting for the officer to come in.

I didn't think the fight was that bad. The guy driving his car on top of the other could be attempted murder. Could have been much worse.

Grew up in Muncie and went to Anderson often in my younger years. Believe me that fight was nothing compared to some I saw there back in the day. Driving over the other car on the other hand deserved the trip to the pokey.
