Unless someone has taken the time to get to know John Memmer then they do not truly know who or how he is. His "yank the crank" does not define who he is. Have YOU taken the time to get to know Memmer, D.O.? I highly doubt it.... or else that nonsense would have not been said. Its people judging someone by what they see in a video clip who are truly pathetic. I said it about Truckers when they were needlessly bashed and will say it here.... GET TO KNOW SOMEONE FIRST BEFORE YOU ASSUME ANYTHING ABOUT THEM OR THEIR FAMILY.


Your right I don't know who John Memmer is off the track. But I do know who he is on the track. I've watched him drive sprints since his rookie year. He trys too hard to get that first win. I've watched him at VCS get in trouble this year and read about his troubles at other tracks. What does knowing a person have to do with seeing him "Yank his Crank"? I'm sure most of the 13,567 views here on IOW know even less than I about him away from the track. So what difference does that make? Where did I say anything about him except that many more will know him. Over 3000 people have watched the video on you tube. Most have drawn the same idea after seeing it.
Ballou did close to the same, but smart enough to attempt to fix his problem quickly.

It seems a few people what the whole deal is justified because we don't know the Memmer's. But I do know that Saturday wasn't his first time at VCS and other tracks. Maybe all the drivers should walk over to the grandstands and intoduce themselves to the fans and spend some time with them before each race. ???
How many of the paying fans can id Memmer away from his car, without his suit on??? It's that way with most drivers.

Knowing a person doesn't have anything to do with this.
