Duane , you left out one important part. If it had been Kevin Swindell, instead of Hunter, Sammy would have beat on Robert once they goy him out of the car.

Re: Kokomo crash
 

Around 1993 or 1994 Dave Darland and Tray House were racing side by side at Kokomo and tangled. In the pits one of Dave's pit guys was steaming mad - threatening all sorts of mayhem. So here come Dave and Tray walking side by side into the pits laughing. Dave said "Oh well, I ran the same line for around 10 laps and I decided to try a different line just as Tray decided to try to pass me there." And Tray said something like - "that happens".

It is generally best to let the drivers figure out what happened.

Re: Kokomo crash
 

I can't remember Kevin making a move that bad. With that being said I have seen some great drives by Hunter, but I have seen a couple of questionable moves particularly in heat races. This thread does prove it doesn't matter what you do ,it matters who you are. I didn't see you Sunday night Chris were you there? I know a race driver once said if you can see me and I can't see you its up to you not to hit me.

Tracy hines said in a interview a few months back.. If they can't see you.Let off the gas. :6:

Re: Kokomo crash
 

I agree with you, Jerry Shaw. Swindell would've gotten absolutely hammered on here. Drivers do race hard but have to understand the situation. The big money is not to be made in a heat race so take care of the car for the feature and drive smart. Tom

I'll have the crash uploaded on youtube in bout an hour since Robert is ok.

Re: Kokomo crash
 

The way I saw it, just a bad decision by Hunter. The fact that it almost went way worse than it turned out to be made the decision that much worse. The more of these types of "moves" are added to a drivers resume the harder it will be for that driver to find an owner to put him in the car.This is just my opinion.That being said I am not a car owner or driver, But I did stay at a Holiday Inn last night. Glad Ballou is gonna be O.K.

looks like racing to me, robert went from the top to the bottom, hunter had a great run on the bottom, 2 gassers going for the same patch of dirt, BUT THE BOTH COULD OF LIFTED..

Mills will probably have a much better quality/video than mine whenever he gets it up on his site.

And a side note you might want to turn the volume down when u view the clip I had the volume setting set up a little to high.
