Brian -- I'm pleased that you won :6: the Mod feature, and disappointed that you had :7: electrical problems in the sprint feature -- "Shorted out, ya know"
Wish I'd been there, but I'm too old and fragile for the trip over for a night race this early in the season.:21:

Re: Thank you!!
 

The way I see it, the only thing Brady Short was 2 for 2 was two great top five runs at Brownstown and LPS. First of all, at LPS, I saw a track that was narrow and rough on top, and when you are slower than the car behind you, and you jump into the rough stuff, contact may happen. It sure didn't appear that Short did anything intentional. Looked like "racing" to me. I think Brady Short is a very smooth, fast, and clean driver.

Now the Brownstown situation. I saw a caution flag come out, and a driver with a lot of experience, Stanbrough, slowed very, very quickly, and Short had no where to go! I'm not sure how that was Short's fault.

Just the way I saw it...

ok well brady started 11th he bumped shuman out of the way then followed me for several laps and never even pulled up close enough to show me his car so not sure he was faster than me and the turn he ran over me i hit my line good (did not bang the cushen). i had plenty of chances to do that move to bland i just dont race like that. and if it was just a accident then mayby brady should slow down before he runs out of talent.regaurdless he has one coming and if u no who i am i will deliver. and one other thing if it was accidental in his post race interview when he was being boed by the crowd he wouldnt have said (he will just drive harder next time) i guess that meas he will take out more drivers if need be to win. hey in not crying about it im just gonna even the score then he can decide if its over.

Re: Thank you!!
 

brian..... i was not at the race but did watch it several times..the track was horrible and yes i agree brady drove in to hard that lap and got his right rear into you..and have talked to him and he regrets it happening..hell i even saw you run off the track twice on your own it was so rough.. as far as shuman brady did a slide job on him just as shuman did on briscoe and it was clean he did not knock him out of the way.. you can see all of this on jackslash.. shuman later put his right front into bradys left rear coming out of 2 and tried to spin him but didnt get the job done. and on shumans flip he did it all on his own..his mistake..hope u and brady can talk b4 the next race as there is alot of racing to come .....don short

Re: Thank you!!
 

I was there and it looked to me like hard racing and Brian got wrecked and the guy that gets wrecked is never happy. But thats racing and you all know it can happen, thats the risk you all take. I'm glad nobody got hurt that night on a very rough track. As for pay backs there is always repercussions in any decisions made like that! Sometimes that stuff can come back to bite you in the you know what but on the same token you can't just lets people walk all over you! So its a catch-22 type thing! I hope you two get a chance to chat on the subject and remember a wise man once to me, Cooler heads always prevail! Thanks you guys for giving your very best out there! Its fun to watch!!

Re: Thank you!!
 

I can say in all my years of racing at P ville had I done that to Bob kinser I would leave my helmet on when the race was over

Re: Thank you!!
 

Reminds me of a post I made on March 27th on a different thread, but one of the "members of the cast" is in this one too:
"It is a shame that Tony can't punch like a certain guy I know who "starred" in one of D O's videos, ringing some guy's bell while the "victim" was still seated in his car with his helmet on. That driver who received the "Jack Hewitt style lesson" has to have had a sore neck after the way his head got snapped around not once, but twice by the driver who was sending a message.
Looking forward to seeing the driver (who should train Tony) again soon, but I sure hope he does not have a similar reason to be giving lessons any more !!"

Don you can defend Brady's actions all you want, it's your job and I'm fine that... but I never touched Brady, accidentally or on purpose. Maybe watch the video again, I don't remember seeing any contact between the top 5 except for one car..

Re: Thank you!!
 

I've watched the video and Shuman would have won the race he was faster than the two cars infront of him. How many times did he pass a car and move up a spot and a caution flag would fly. As for short he'll get what he has comin. We need to bring have it boys to sprint car racing.

Re: Thank you!!
 

just watched the video again .. casey . and stand by my ealier post.. the only contact brady made with you was when you banged the front end of the cushion and got out of shape but just small contact and racing resumed.. then later a nice slide job and a few laps later you tapped him with your front tire. and the commentators words were... shuman makes contact with short....just racing no big deal... and when u flipped he was no where near u .. that was all u... and no its not my job to defend brady im as hard on him as anyone when it comes to driving clean.. in a nutshell he did make a mistake on the hayden incident ... and i dont know a driver out there that doesnt make them..to early for this chit lets just race... don short

Ohhh you are talking about when Brady's RR hits my LF coming off of four? Also I never blamed anyone but myself for getting upside down, it was completely my fault.

Re: Thank you!!
 

I have been a fan of Brady Short since he was driving mods, he is a clean driver from what I can tell and seems like a very nice guy from the times that I have spoken with him at the track. I was at the race saturday and saw the incident with Hayden happen. To me in looked like a racing thing on a slick track. I'm sure it was not on purpose. not every slide job is gonna be perfect especially on a track that slick.

Ok Shuman, you say Brady's RR hit your LF, maybe it did, but it's kind of tough to know who's behind you and where they are exactly. I'm sure that wasn't done on purpose. Bottom line is this, you guys are all racers, and if you aren't trying to race to win, you shouldn't be there....track was difficult to race on, thus making it harder for all...BUT, why under one of the yellows did you hit Brady several times? What was the purpose of that? You all race hard and no one wakes up making a decision they are going to take someone out. Hayden has posted here he's going to get Brady back. He also mentioned hitting Brady and knocking him to the highway...why make a bad decision to trash someone's race car, or, even worse, take steps that cause a substantial risk of bodily injury or death...and post on here you are going to do that! Sounds similar to a crime in Indiana called ******** recklessness...that's not a good decision...like Don Short said, too early for this, time to race hard and clean!!!

Posted via Mobile Device

Ha yup you are right, he didn't know I was there, and I wasn't ******** about it.. I was simply pointing out that Don was a little off in saying I hit Bradys LR with my RF coming off of two, when it was actually his RR and my Lf off of four.. Don is the one that accused me of trying to spin Brady and didn't get the job done.. And you are also right, I'm just ready to go racing again, we had a really fast car and the driver screwed up.. I'm not too proud to admit a mistake.

I don't think there was a driver here at fault. Brian doing awesome job was a bit slower than a shuman and short but was smart enough to keep same line every lap threw one and two. Just happened to be the only line. (Track prep problem) but he uses head more than foot. On the other hand these drivers with rides are in to win no matter what it takes. I don't think short meant to crash anyone. What I seen was shuman followed Brian patiently lap after lap Brian hit same mark and line but after short got shuman he wasn't familiar with the line Brian had been taking and hammered it in and clipped him. Sucks for both but respectful racing is past tense their in it to win it. I think 99% of racers out there these days aren't going to be faster than a car in front and settle for second or third because track is impassable on one end they are going for it sooner or later. Give these guys a racey race track and they can race. Not saying I could prep better just my opinion. I would of loved to see Brian win but can't blame anyone for this. Part of it

So, Shuman, why did you hit Brady under yellow?

Posted via Mobile Device

So, Mr L., I tapped him, and then pulled up next to him and motioned to settle down, we were halfway through a 40 lap race!... Which he responded by flipping me off.. Any other questions??

Your new found line threw one and two was the only line fast enough to pass threw there and would you have hit it five or so laps in a row you would have pulled leader by at least half a straight. It was awesome to watch wish it would of worked out

Posted via Mobile Device

I'm sure it was difficult to settle down. 40 laps, difficult track to pass on, and starting mid pack, I think Brady did a good job from 10th to 2nd. Anyway, good luck to you!

Shu don't waste yr time you know what happen more than anybody you where the one on the track with them. We'll get them this weekend.

You Tube Video Not the best qaulity, but figured it might help some.

Just going to keep my mouth shut. Think back to around 1999! Pot calling kettle black!
