What I Learned @ Gas City
 

If u can't beat them put a wheel into them on a restart. Because you'll just get your hand smacked, and the guy you hit will have to go to the tail due to a result of your stupidity.

Apparently it works even better if your running #1 #2 in the points.

Funny I saw the same thing, on restart in feature, not sure who done pushing, but it took place right square in front of flag stand. The kid was lucky to have saved it. And sad thing was it almost caused a major one. But it was a regular nite at GasCity, had fun though. Not complaining , really did have fun. jeff

Re: What I Learned @ Gas City
 

that sounds like normal racing of what i have seen this year only minus the slap and not just on restart.

Kinda what I thought too when Coleman ran over top my hood in the heat race. Younger kids with alot of money just race that way and some older guys too.

Re: What I Learned @ Gas City
 

i gotta agree with you treecity....that was a boneheaded move and very early in the heat race!!! Its hard for these young ones to respect other racers equipment when dad can just reach into his deep pockets..20 yrs ago Barr, Amati,or Bob Kinser woulda whipped his a** right there in turn 3

Re: What I Learned @ Gas City
 

Really like to know how someone knows how deep someone's pockets are and how Spoiled someone is.
Almost Every racer out there has some $$ or help behind them that isn't theirs

What happens when the budget racer takes him out? As has happened?

Grow up and let the people involved solve their own problems.

Re: What I Learned @ Gas City
 

well MAYBE you should have ran a little faster or got out of the way....

He would not have been born yet. ;):18:;)

Re: What I Learned @ Gas City
 

:8:Bridges40, I agree with you 100%. It was a absolute shame that Billy P. had to go to the tail and Shane only was moved back 1 position. Not sure but I think in a earlier heat race (different class) the guy who did the rough driving went to the tail and the guy who was spun got his position back. But then you have to keep in mind who they were dealing with in this situation. All in all it was some pretty good racing last night. I just hated to see the sprints feature run 4th, it made for a late night getting home. However, as long as I am at a good race, time really doesn't matter. :8:

Re: What I Learned @ Gas City
 

An interesting night for sure. Really feel bad for Josh Spencer regardless of who or what happened. Some of the best people in our sport and really would have liked to see Josh battle for a win. They deserve it.

I am sorry that the pole sitter in our heat feels the way he does. There's not a long list of people that visit us weekly to discuss Coleman running over them. There were many that did visit us after the heat that saw it much differently than what was stated. But, that's his opinion and he is certainly entitled to it. Just a shame the personal jab has to happen. We work very hard for what we have and work closely with our sponsors to make sure their investment is protected week in and out. Tearing up race cars is not something that keeps them coming back like they have for 10 years so I have to believe that is not our "M.O.". There are plenty of nights when we feel slighted too so I understand. It's a tough sport. But, I can assure you this; when there is an issue that is unnecessary or costs us money for equipment, Coleman gets his butt pealed like any other young man should when doing something stupid. You just don't see it..

Glad no one was hurt on a tough night at the track. Hopefully everyone can get their cars ready for tonight and have a solid effort.

Good luck all,

Pete G.

Looking forward to seeing you all run at LPS tonight. Best of luck.

How about one of these to help wash it down Chuck:32::5:

Re: What I Learned @ Gas City
 

Twenty years ago Barr, Amati, Kinser and the others didn't have Facebook, Twitter, Bitter, IOW or any other social media to hide behind and complain on nor the "mobile device" to do it minutes after the incident happened.

What those guys did have was courage, courage to walk over and have a little chat with the other driver. It wasn't always physical, just an arm around the neck of the youngster and some words of advice on what not to do next time, or else.

Maybe this new generation of young drivers might try that when they have an issue. You don't gain respect until show some respect. It happened to me a a young driver and it got my attention for sure....then...

IF HE TELLS YOU TO KISS OFF, THEN KICK HIS LITTLE BUTT !!!!

Just Say'n...

Re: What I Learned @ Gas City
 

Do you just like to complain about stuff or what? If you would have been on the gas and choose a line it would have never happen, but instead you was flogging around the middle like a rolling road block.

BTW since your always concerned about the payout break down, what did it pay to not transfer from the b-main?

Man up or load up its as easy as that...

I think you need a reality check Burris. I was on the gas in the middle of the turn and had a car run completely over my hood and down tubes. Man I guess that takes some talent too lol. Thanks.

Looked to me that you got a little crossed up and lost some momentum and the car behind you had know where to go:41::

Re: What I Learned @ Gas City
 

Apparently 2 of us there last night saw the same heat race...

Re: What I Learned @ Gas City
 

Make it 3

I just don't get why everyone is all over colemans case all the sudden..the other thread about him coming back to Indy was a personal jab now this one a personal thread..he is young and he may make a few dumb mistakes but damn he's 18, he's Gonna make mistakes he's not perfect. I think the kid is great, good driver and makes it a point to talk to his fans especially on Sunday's.. My point being..He may make mistakes but damn leave him alone, I don't see where it says he is better then everyone and can't

Re: What I Learned @ Gas City
 

So was it a shame when you were on here about a month ago taking personal shots at Critter Malone after he accidently ran into your car?

Re: What I Learned @ Gas City
 

Just curious? Whats the differnce between a tornado and a blow hard?

Re: What I Learned @ Gas City
 

There is another post on here about safety and agression that speaks of this subject. I have been around racing for 39 years in one form or another, pit crew owner and mechanic. I think some of the new kids on the block do not respect any one or anything just go fast and point it, like a arrow out of a bow, with out any fletching its fast but not sure where it is going to land or who it is going to hit. Old racers had respect and they drove hard if some one took them out they settled it on track or off track after a talk. Todays racer hides behind he was in my way and he deserved it, I do think money is at fault here as today you buy the best racecar and motors hire a mechanic to set the car up and test every week. Fast and your expected to win at any cost.
The weekend racer is the heart and sole of racing not the rich kids and big time sponsers. The guy who works on his own stuff and has friends and family helping him for free. If it were not for the guy who funded his own team and worked 40 hrs a week at a job we would be watching a 4 or 5 car show ever week not good for weekley racing.
I did not see this accident but have seen others and if you own one of the cars the other guy was stupid and was at fault. When will a track or sancitiong body have the guts to call both driver regardless of age or fault to the tower and talk with them about over agression or fault. I think respect comes with time and experince not some one telling you that you did nothing wrong go get them they are just big cry babbies.
The rich kids dont haft to chose between a new tire and paying the light bill this week or next or worying if there engine goes sour the weekley race does and where is the money going to come from to finish the season?
I have see them come and go some good and some not so good safety and speed make great racing and I am thankfull for the safety improvements of today. If you think racing is fine why is the car owners name and the drivers last name the same in 98% of the cars on the track. Silver Crown, Sprinters or Midgets all experinece the same wrecks and new drivers comming in hot. Maybe every new driver to a track or division should be given a coach to help them learn what is good racing or put on probation for a while. Maybe a group of three racer to watch the race or a driver to help them learn how to be fast with out being over aggresive and causing wrecks and sidelineing a weekley racer for the year or gettig some one hurt
Solution I do not have but I love racing and I like to see a good race without any accidents but when you put 24 racecars and racecar drivers on the track all expecting to win you are going to have problems when two cars try to occupy the same space at the same time.:D

How about when the 40 car pushed Bradshaw around in the heat race and then was allover the track

Re: What I Learned @ Gas City
 

Well said Speed9, most people don't have a clue how hard it is to race on a budget or for a living like the "old" drivers used to.
