It's bad enough he hit him once but to go down thru infield and around to hit him again!!! That's ridiculous!!! Rubbin is racin folks... Especially in mods... But he Could've seriously injured someone whether it was other guy or officials, volunteers helpin with track!! The more I think about it the more it ticks me off!!

Actually, you should try it a third time and leave out the idiot part. (unless you're talking about the driver)
I agree, and I'm sure JonR does too, no excuses for that behavior on a race track.

No excuse for what the 27 did. However, I will say it again. If the 18 stays buckled in his car, this incident does not escalate like it does. Absolutely nothing good comes from a driver getting out of his car on the track. How many times do we have to re-live history before we learn this lesson.

I was trying to see what folks on here thought. That statement just sound like some sort of dis towards the teams that race those types of cars not <> NOT trying to be rude but that is how it sounded to me. That's great you have driven open wheel cars. I wish I could too. Karting was as far as I could go unfortunately I got priced right out of it. Not to bring up a sore subject but I figured about 8 months ago the Kevin Ward accident would have opened the eyes of drivers. Apparently the driver of the #27s has learned that yet. I MIGHT BE A FENDER GUY BUT KOKOMO IS STILL THE BEST TRACK IN INDIANA. Anyway have fun at the track this year and let's hope we don't see another accident like this one. [/B]

Jerks are Jerks are Jerks>>>>I think all of us have the Jerk inside of us just waiting to be brought to the surface... All forms of racing have their fair share of jerks>>>It is just that they don't usually last too long in open wheel racing. Had a guy tried that pass in a real open wheel car one or two things would have happened either one or both cars would have leaped into the air and one or both would have flipped out of the race track..I have seen it done and sometimes by some of the best drivers out there $hit just happens sometimes>>>>Usually it is hopefully followed up with an apology and a hand shake.>>>sometime a bit more. We all make mistakes but when we follow it up with two or more other ones that might classify us as a "JERK" and like you said racing is dangerous enough without adding in a "JERK" who becomes a detriment to both himself fellow racers and innocent by standers and track crew.

By the way a bit of racing "etiquette" When the front wheel of the overtaking car reaches the driver's seat of the car being overtaken>>>>the car being passed is expected to give the overtaking car what is known as racing room and does not include rubbing fenders or in the case of open wheel racers banging wheels and allow the pass. He may then come back the next lap and do the same to the car that had just passed him and expect the same curtsey in return. You see this all the time when you watch good racing either open wheel or with fenders.
