Re: J.O Memorial, Lawrenceburg. Sat April 13th
 

I just want to thank all the people who made the race possible. Bobby announced that next year will be at least $74JO to win. Lawrenceburg Safety Crew, Giddens, Rons Roost, A Trucking company The Owen and Fischesser Families and others Im sure deserve credit for a whole lot of work. Everyone who bought a T shirt or decals The Trophy maker (It was awesome) You could clearly see the angels wings glowing from the stands in victory lane.

Way to turn a sad memory into a awesome enjoyable tribute to J.O!

Similar stuff to be done for the Greg Staab Memorial in Oct.

Do not interpret as a gripe. It is however that if the tracks could cooperate from time to time especially around special events that it could be beneficial. I was going to LPS from the time it opened and will continue to do so.

USAC didn't do anything to Leary

Plenty of cars for both tracks on this particular night. Majority of LPS runners were not about to run with USAC that date.

Funny how everyone assumed he was pissed about not being left at his crew. Yet he was trying to jump off before the guy came to a stop. Maybe the banging the fence or the fact he was pissed because the front of the frame was dragging in the gravel and he was yelling forward for the guy to stop. RB was upset for sure but shouldn’t have touched the guy.

I can see a new Ballou t-shirt in the works.

Wouldn't have hit the wall if Robert held the wheel straight. Robert has enough experience to know if you're getting towed from the rear you have to hold the wheel straight. If you don't the front end will wonder. Before it even got close to hitting the wall the wheels were turned pretty hard to the left. Landon Simon and a few other drivers said the same thing on an Instagram post. Opening is not much wider than the tow truck it's self.

Not going to debate how a guy strapped into a race car facing forward while towed from behind knows exactly how to steer a car since I never have. Based on your photo the car is being drug on the front frame rail for sure and it looks like the axle is back on the left side. Lots of mistakes made here. Without knowing the discussions on the track I would ask why the whole car was not picked up? I guess really doesn’t matter it’s over now.

He wasn't strapped in he was hanging off the nerf which was not a smart move to begin with.

Here's a video for all your viewing eyes. https://www.tiktok.com/@thedirttrack..._t=8lYbirJK3JK

Go to 2:50 of the video. Robert's right hand comes off the wheel, goes to the top of the cage. Right hand never goes close to being back on the wheel. It's hard to see, but his right hand goes from top of cage to the back of the cage. When the car hits the wall his hands are no where near the wheel.

If he want's to blame anyone and lay his hands on anyone. He needs to blame himself. For that he needs a suspension for laying his hands on a track worker. Tow truck driver can't do anything about the car dog tracking. That's on Robert to hold that wheel straight.
