Re: Now what USAC?
 

I wasn't talking about after the checkered , but during the race the bump WAS A racing deal

If I was Sunshine I wouldn’t see 2 nights in a row as “just a racin deal” I’d be thinking WWBKD?

I tried to, but my post was deleted, because of bias of some moderaters on this board.

Exactly!! How many times this year along has Grant literally been taken out of a race??

I remember seeing a sign that said... Fight in the pits go strait to jail.... fight on the front stretch receive $100..... should be make comments on social media get band..... fight on the front stretch get $100.

Re: Now what USAC?
 

I just wanna race and have a good time. Whats done is done. I don't think all things are handled fairly or evenly every time, but I'm not in charge so... 2 for 2, for TOPP Motorsports and JG. Last night just looked like close racing to me and not intentional, but I would understand if Sunshine felt differently since they've butted heads now 2 nights in a row. I think both those teams are just peaking at the same time with 2 very talented young wheel men.

So to quote the Steve McQueen movie Le Mans(1971),

Why would I stay home, I don't have a problem with USAC, you do BUD. That's ok, keep making yourself look bad by attending their races. I'm sure USAC has no problem taking your money. It's to bad Funks post from yesterday got deleted because there's absolutely no doubt in my mind it was spot on.

Agreed!:42:::42::

Tyler I raced with since I was about 10 years old. Justin since he moved here from Cali. Hard to pick sides but again i saw hard racing on a track that took rubber. Things happen, but retaliation after the checkered shouldn’t happen under any circumstances.

Yep...

Smartest post on the whole thread!👍

I haven’t seen a quote yet from Justin Grant being upset nor have I seen a mangled race car. I haven’t seen any but the highlights so I have no idea what happened after the race. I have heard Grant be almost apologetic about how he got the lead. I am a huge fan of Ballou, but he got what he deserved, he was biting the hand so to say. If the Ballou situation had not occurred this would not be a discussion, I think. Axes to grind and all.

Re: Now what USAC?
 

Nope it is not sarcastic. Watched KT do it at least 10 times this year alone. They have it perfected to the point that the fans don't see it most of the time. A Right Rear into the left side nerf bar. The only one that sees it is the one who gets the bump and run.

Re: Now what USAC?
 

dumping someone after the checkered makes no sense. its like punching the owner or mechanics, not the driver. owner will pay for new parts and mechanics will work all night to have car ready, while driver sleeps. in the heat of the moment ive done it and had it done to me, the stupidity of it became clear when, after an on track incident, cottle(whose driven and won in our car) pulled into the pits and mashed our rear bumper and tail tank right in front of me because he was mad at tmez. well tmez didnt replace/pay, i did. likewise for the front bumper of the car shane drove that night. really pissed me off.

Tyler on the other hand keeps his nose clean, so does Justin. Occasionally you’re going to have heated moments from a race. That’s part of what makes these races and championships so exciting.
If you want USAC to do what they did to Ballou, then Tyler should have his first warning. He’s got a few more before he gets suspended.

And congratulations to Justin and Topp Motorsports on their win!

Getting suspended for using Twitter is hardly comparable to using your car to run over someone. In the Tweet somebody gets their feelings hurt from what some blow hard had to say in a tweet. If you don’t like it you have the option of ignoring. Using your car to run over someone can go south real quick and turn out far worse than a negative tweet. My .02

Did you see it? Was it a tap to the bumper or did he run over him? If he ran over him, I would think Justin would be angry, and not apologetic. Since you are an ex USAC official I would like to know what you saw.

No Brent your post was deleted because you insinuated that the other poster was gay. That is not allowed on this board and will not be tolerated. You are smart enough to know that. Just because someone does not agree with you it doesnt mean they are attacking you as you said in your PM. I dont appreciate being told that I have a bias. It really doesnt matter which side of the issue I agree with I am just enforcing the rules of the board which you broke. This really reminds me of what is wrong with this country these days, if someone disagrees then rather than agreeing to disagree then that person thinks they are being attacked. Get a thicker skin Brent you will live a happier life if you do.

Re: Now what USAC?
 

You guy's should walk up to sunshine and tell him how you feel. Nothing better than a driver kicking the **** of a no talent spectator.

Nothing will come of this. Tyler Thomas drove over a guy at Haubstadt earlier this year under caution. Hit him so hard it broke the rear end. He got black flagged for the heat and that was it. There may be a rule about it. Not positive but I think it’s a fine.

I was thinking of that exact incident. Thomas drilled Chet Williams and is lucky Chet is a gentle giant!

Then enforce it the same for everybody. You had problems with a small part of my post and deleted the whole thing. My skin is plenty thick, and has taken a lot more than people on this board are capable of dishing out. Look at a recent post about me , and I see 2 rules being blatantly broken. We will see who has thick enough skin to do something about it.

So after 61 posts, does anyone know if Sunshine was fined for Thursday’s after checker actions or does USAC not consider that an infraction anymore. Surely Richie can fill us in on this information? Just wanting to close out this thread.

Re: Now what USAC?
 

Looks like some are getting 2 nights mixed into 1. The 1st night is when the after race thing happened & the 2nd night it sounded as if there were contact between the same 2 guys while Courtney was leading & he & Grant touched with Grant going on to win. Correct ? because I wasn't there & I'm no longer game champ on here either.
