We have a saying here in PA about fences between combatants that goes; "The bigger the fence, the braver the dog!" A while back at Williams Grove, Kramer Williamson took out Allen Klinger during a heat race. My Dad and I were in the infield and after the heat we went over to the pit fence to see what both crews were doing to fix their cars. Kramer was up in the front of his truck getting something out of it when a 20 something hot-head was getting all over Kramer. Many F-bombs and a few "its a good thing there is a fence between us or I would be kicking you butt!" With that my dad pointed out there was a small hole in the pit fence about 10 yards down toward the fourth turn, and the kid could get at Kramer there. At that point my dad shouted to Kramer, "hey, this guy said he will meet you at the hole and show how tough he is." Needless to say, at that point the kid took off towards turn one. Dad turned to me and said "the bigger the fence the braver the dog." I really miss my dad's Lancaster County wisdom.
