Picture of Jeff Bland Jr.

I just heard about the Idiot today. Tim Thomas Photos spends alot of time and money printing these pictures, he also goes to the trouble to have them signed by the drivers. He does this each week for fan giveaways. This was a classless act and i am very upset about this one mans idiotic decision.
One in every crowd i guess.
To Tim Thomas: Most fans appreciate the pictures you give out, i know i do.
and thanks for all you do for racing.

Kyle, You need to rethink your statement, That statement is as bad as the action that happened.

I know where he's going with it....

Yes what this idiot did was classless..... in poor taste....... and is downright idiotic. However..... this is America..... the man has the right to do with it what he wants whether we agree with what he did.

The classy thing to do would have been to give it to a kid or a fan.

At least we live in a country where we have the right to CHOOSE what we do LEGALLY. This idiot made a BAD choice.... but he has the right to do so.

I am putting the nomex on now..... let the flaming begin!

EDIT: Yes Tim does excellent work. It is disrespectful to the driver who took the time to sign it and to the photographer. I hope this guy got what he had coming to him.

I am not defending the guy at all. I know how hard it is to get photos signed. All I am saying is that the guy can do whatever he wants with it when its his property is all.

Bland is actually one of the drivers we've been trying to get to sign some pix for my son...just haven't been able to catch up with him.

Maybe that guy is the same guy who took off with our Daron Clayton signed Hoosier Tire Flag that we bid on (and paid for) at the silent auction and never got! Oh well, the money was definitely for a good cause and the woman from Hoosier said they'd get us one so we're good with that. :thumb

Here I thought you were a pretty cool kid, but youre sure doing a hell of a job proving me wrong man. Guess talking to you at Bloomington and Brownstown, I was talking to a different person.

Disappointing to say the least

How about it gets dropped and you both move on?

I am finished with it personally,
After this post, you wont hear another word from me about this situation.

Good job this past weekend on the updates, it kept everyone at Terre Haute up to snuff on what was going on. Much appreciated
