Believe me I don't condone or think this video is funny by any means.https://www.indianaopenwheel.com/ima...e_blackeye.gif Note to John, if you get screwed on a lineup, saddle up and use that frustration on driving to the front and making a point. Nothing is more satisfying than going up to a scorer and telling them they screwed up and then asking them were you start in the feature. Then remind them they need to sharpen their pencil for the feature!

I totally agree, Alex. While Memmers actions went FAR beyond the line, and I'm sure he will learn from it, MSCS scoring has been questionable, quite often over the years. I understand that drivers, crew chiefs, and yes, even scorers make mistakes that affect races. But, in my opinion, MSCS seems to make more mistakes than other series. I however applaud those people trying!
