Tim, I have to wonder what was your reaction when Brian was taken out of a transfer spot at Perris in the Midget and the driver who dumped him, got the transfer spot? I was appalled a call was not made in that situation.[/QUOTE]

Honestly, I was pissed but never in a million years would I of expected a "call" to be made.

After the race Bryan and the other driver talked about what happened and worked it out and believe it or not it was put behind us. The driver apologized and I honestly believe his intent was not to "crash" us as he was battling for the transfer spot with another car as well But if the norm is for these drivers to start looking for the officials to "bail" them out or justify their driving there will be a bigger harm to the sport. Go watch a quarter midget race for an afternoon and you will see what I am talking about, Johnny bumps jimmy, jimmy hits the switch and then they argue for an hour on who gets the call.

Another point, I watch a lot of racing and I just don't see the "kids" crashing all these guys that are referred to over and over again on these pages. In fact I bet if someone wanted to do a little research a "kids" slider gone wrong could be countered with a veterans slider gone wrong *** for tat.
