I thought I was hearing things. He actually compared himself to the guy who stood in front of the tank, in Tiananmen Square. Few things surprise me, but I was in total disbelief on that one.

I my opinion, 2 words cover it;
"Delusional Punk"

Today in this country I am still allowed to have an opinion, unlike in Tienanmen Square,
that may change someday but to compare himself to a Chinese protester risking his life for a small taste of freedom?
*** is he thinking?

IDIOT!

I'm sure that your era of growing up you wouldn't dream of acting that way that Memmer did. Again even though he is my friend I did not excuse his actions in anyways. I am merely making a point that at sometime in you life you have gotten that upset. I know my dad has and he is almost 60. This is not the first time you have seen some racer act in an obscene way. As my dad did post Jack Hewitt throwing a fit at the flagman and then going back to the pits and talking sh**. It is not uncommon for people to lose their temper especially with something with such adrenaline pumping as sprint car racing.
Someone else brought up that I commented on his young age. Yes legally you are an adult but most people that are under that age of 30 still act like fools. I have not will I ever excuse his actions but defending him to such people who either were not there or didn’t see what happened in the pits I will do. Again he is my friend and I will always back my friends and tell them when they are wrong. His actions were wrong and he is aware of that.
I'm under 30, and wouldn't dream of acting the way Memmer did. I don't care if he is 18 or 68 what he did is inexcusable, and he should be punished accordingly. You DO NOT under any circumstances swerve toward an official; I don't care how old you are. Age is no excuse for his actions; if he can't control himself then he needs to get off of the race track. If you want to drive a race car, grow up and don't act like a child because that isn't what race fans come to see. If he flipped off Moe, then he deserved the two spots that he was docked for unsportsmanlike conduct.

As far as Jack Hewitt throwing a fit, it's different; he did not swerve his car at an official. He did not get out of his car and throw a temper tantrum at the officials and fans on the front stretch. The flagman of his race is my friend, and he isn't perfect and he'll tell you so.

People make mistakes and people also have the right to be upset about the mistakes made by someone else, but a public outburst like Memmer put on is not acceptable.

If you go to the race tracks around Indianapolis or Terre Haute then you've probably seen me, but I'll post my name anyways.
