Sean -

Tell John that if the officials screwed up the line up. he has a right to be upset... But he does not have the right to aim his moving race car at an official, he does not have the right to stop on the front straight and then show disrespect to the fans and delay ths show while he pitches his fit, or do any of the other things that John and his dad are alleged to have done.

Side? I don't think that John has a side here, unless it's the wrong side! You need to make sure that he understands that he needs to apologize to a bunch of folks, starting with the fans.....and he should not be surprised if his actions get him suspended, OR EVEN BANNED FOR LIFE.

But please. don't let John off the hook - if his explanantion and apology seem weak, tell him - and hold him accountable! He wrote this check with his actions, so he should be prepared to cash it -in full!

how about Z Man....lol

A good first step...Let the reparations commence. ANY defiance exhibited here is .....well, let's not presume there will be any.

Re: John Memmer LIVE on the Jackslash Show!
 

I agree why is he calling in he is way out of bounds on this one no matter how upset you are you need to show a little more respect for you self and all the fans.

:7::10::11;:15:

Re: John Memmer LIVE on the Jackslash Show!
 

This outta be good, can't wait!!

Re: John Memmer LIVE on the Jackslash Show!
 

I'll be traveling so I can't call in but I have a couple of questions that might be interesting to ask. The answers might be revealing as to contrition

1. If he switched positions with the person(s) who are going to rule on his punishment, what punishment (if any) does he think he should give himself?
2. Ask him if he knows the name Fred Brownfield?
3. Ask him if he knows what the National Sprint Tour was? If so, ask him why the tour isn't around anymore. If not, clue him in.
4. Ask him if he understands that if he ever does something even loosely approximating pointing his car at someone and for whatever reason they are run over and killed, that he has now made the legal leap from possible manslaughter to murder 2? It's called prior intent.

Re: John Memmer LIVE on the Jackslash Show!
 

Excellent post! I had forgotten about Fred, and the fact that he'd been run over by a wayward race car...that wasn't even aiming at him!

Like I said earlier, Jackslash MUST not let John off the hook over this incident.....

Re: John Memmer LIVE on the Jackslash Show!
 

Actually, I think it was a modified but you get the gist of what I'm saying.

Re: John Memmer LIVE on the Jackslash Show!
 

I think of Fred every time I grab my camera and head to a racetrack.

Re: John Memmer LIVE on the Jackslash Show!
 

Can't wait..................

Re: John Memmer LIVE on the Jackslash Show!
 

I suck at time zones. With that being said, what time will this be on in Evansville? 8:00, 9:00, or 10:00? :15:

A) Am I 3 hours behind and 1 hour ahead?
B) Am I 3 hours behind and 1 hour behind?
C) Am I just 3 hours behind?
:5:

Re: John Memmer LIVE on the Jackslash Show!
 

Love the show....and really looking forward to this one. Those are some GREAT questions....if they are taking calls, I might ask those verbatim.

I will also capture audio from the show, and see if I can get permission to post here....although I am guessing they will be doing so themselves.

Re: John Memmer LIVE on the Jackslash Show!
 

Evansville is on Central time. It would be 8PM

Re: John Memmer LIVE on the Jackslash Show!
 

Just listen to John Memmer statemate on Jackslash and thought he came up short on his apology. What do you think

Re: John Memmer LIVE on the Jackslash Show!
 

After listening to the show all i have to say is WOW!!

Re: John Memmer LIVE on the Jackslash Show!
 

pretty much what I figured. All I have to say is that if MSCS is causing you so many problems, go race somewhere else, problem solved. All of his apologies were followed with a But this, but that. He didn't sound sincere to me.

Re: John Memmer LIVE on the Jackslash Show!
 

At one point he said he didn't swerve at the official and compared himself to the guy in front of the tank in China. Also stated that a lot of this was over his sponsors not getting represented. I am sure they are glad they sponsor him now. :11;

Re: John Memmer LIVE on the Jackslash Show!
 

What a complete ****** bag!
See ya "Itchy", don't let the black flag hit you in the ass on your way out!

Re: John Memmer LIVE on the Jackslash Show!
 

Shane,

I loved the quote that when he said that he had 28 stickers on the car and that 22 or 23 are related to his dad's business. He then said that he has spoken to all of them. I am sure they called to say how proud they were of his antics.:7:

I felt his opening statement wasn't very strong. He danced around being sorry and not being sorry. He also claims that MSCS is screwing him on sponsorship deals and money owed him. He also dodged between swerving at an offical and not swerving at him. Which is it John?

He also said that he had issues with Jason and said that girlfriends shouldn't be allowed to work as officials. I thought Sean asked the questions but also continued talking and helped John answer them. Not exactly great interviewing skills.

My only question for John now is this. If you are that fed up with MSCS, so why did you drive all the way to Danville, IL to race with them? I will make a prediction here. This whole ordeal isn't over with yet. I hope that I am wrong.

Re: John Memmer LIVE on the Jackslash Show!
 

Yet another spoiled brat peddaling daddy's dollars around the track...too d^mn irresponsible, arrogant, and immature to understand and appreciate the opportunities afforded him.:7::7::7: This kid needs to get the boot and a solid a$$ whipping.:33:

Before anyone assumes I'm an old complainer: I'm 22

Re: John Memmer LIVE on the Jackslash Show!
 

I also wanted to state that the sponsorship comment and the Tiennemen square reference was made in his prepared statement. So it wasn't just off the cuff.

Re: John Memmer LIVE on the Jackslash Show!
 

One has to wonder how many of those sponsors/customers still are. Used to enjoy visiting with them, those days are over.

Re: John Memmer LIVE on the Jackslash Show!
 

For those who missed it, he came on and read a prepared statement which manned up to nothing, but instead bitched about how much he has gotten screwed. When asked if he regretted his actions, he replied with "I do, and I don't". He said he did not regret it because attention needed to be brought to his issues, and he accomplished that. He was asked later if this scenerio were to come up again, how would he respond? He replied that he would "probably" pull in and go to the pits. Any apology he gave was an afterthought to the excuses, and things he was ******** about. He said according to the rule book, first infraction is loading up for the night so he served his punishment....jackass. I wish he'd have tried this crap at Eldora under Earl's reign, he'd be eating his meals through a straw, and never welcome back....and rightfully so.

Re: John Memmer LIVE on the Jackslash Show!
 

What I could stand to listen to--before I dismissed his continuing unseriousness about "the whole thing", and turned the show off--just reinforced that a teenage boy is not an ideal candidate to create a statement of remorse. An immature boy is required to actually feel remorse if he is to attempt to explain his remorse. Memmer exhibited more his contempt for the sanctioning body than his contrition at his appalling actions. Such is life. There are a hundred acres of growing up that boy needs to plow on his way to manhood. Hopefully nobody gets run over or otherwise injured on his journey.
I'm sure he'll be racing at some of the events I see this year and others. I won't be rooting for him.

Re: John Memmer LIVE on the Jackslash Show!
 

If John's answers were as lacking in contrition as others have described(I didn't listen, so it sounds like I didn't miss much), he should not be surprised if a bunch of other tracks BAN him. He's a danger every time he gets on the track....

And where was the "balance", was the MSCS side of the story told?

Swerving his race car at an official is unacceptable; whether or not the MSCS is screwing him does not justify that action, alone!

Let's just hope that other race tracks and sanctions hold John accountable for his on track actions!

Re: John Memmer LIVE on the Jackslash Show!
 

Can MOST of you HONESTLY say you would have changed your mind about him before you listened to the show? I am betting not. He was hung from the highes tree in your minds so why even bother listening??

Hey Memmer.... You know where you went wrong. Now just go race.

Re: John Memmer LIVE on the Jackslash Show!
 

You were one of the first to defend him with the "you don't know him" excuse. So it seems to me that your mind was made up as well. By the way, how well did Memmer "know" the official before he decided he deserved to get a race car aimed at him?

You are right about one thing though, my mind IS made up. IMO, John Memmer is a jerk.

Re: John Memmer LIVE on the Jackslash Show!
 

I did not defend him. I suggest you go back and read what I typed. The personal name calling and bashing is what I took issue with. So you need to get your facts right first before you post.

For the last time.... He was wrong in how he handled things and is deserving of some kind of punishment. I don't know how much more clear I can be about it. The juvenile name calling is sad. But it SURE is easy to do sitting behind a keyboard isn't it???

Unfortunately I don't get to Indiana nearly often enough. That being the case, it's somewhat difficult to discuss things involving non winged sprint car racing face to face. However, I don't hide behind a keyboard. My user name is my real name. Hopefully I will get to come back up there in mid-August. If you desire, I'm very willing to discuss this subject with you in person. To avoid any confusion, that is NOT a threat.

Re: John Memmer LIVE on the Jackslash Show!
 

rumor has it you've been guilty of the juvenile name calling on here before. just under another name. interesting......

Re: John Memmer LIVE on the Jackslash Show!
 

LOL! That's funny.... Be careful with rumors..... Most are not true. This or any other personal shots are not with the time. His about discussion of topics or is that too much to ask for?

Throttle Person-
There is only one reason I did listen to that call-in, and that was to gain a better assessment of this kid, and possibly begin to adjust my thinking of him. I trotted out my share of adjectives to describe his shortcomings, and he had this opportunity to begin his road back with fans and competitors by at least sounding remorseful about the actions he undertook in the car and out of the car. Instead he stayed in his comfort zone of being more victim than offender.
Although I think he should order up a gross of new shirts with the design of his sprint car halting the path of a rumbling Chinese tank. I bet they'd sell.
It doesn't matter to me any longer. You can cherish your relationship with him and all, and that's fine. I'm not going to cast him in a more villainous light than he has already cast himself. The bed he's lying in is his own, but eventually he's really gonna need to change those sheets. They're soiled.

He said that VCS officials told him he was welcome back any time? That reflects just as poorly on VCS. They don't come out of this looking very good, either.

Is MSCS supposed to have a "meeting" about this today?

Re: John Memmer LIVE on the Jackslash Show!
 

:3: .....priceless Steve!

Re: John Memmer LIVE on the Jackslash Show!
 

Go back and look I posted nothing untill this interveiw so yes I had not made my mind up yet. I was more appalled listening to his excuses than I was by the original acts. Considering he tried to run over someone that is saying a lot. I held judgement thinking we all do things in the heat of the moment. I would of had a much higher opinion of him if he never said a word about the incident than that prepared statement.

I agree I am shocked that vcs wasn't upset at the display in front of their fans. Memmer made it sound like he is best buds with them and almost positioned it as they didn't think he did anything wrong by inviting him to stay and watch the feature. I don't have much respect for them if that's the case.

Memmer said there was a meeting today with mscs so I guess we'll know more later.
