I'm sorry, but I disagree with your opinion. I would think that your attitude inside the race car reflects your attitude outside of the car. When a driver drives a race car the way Brad Loyet does, with total lack of respect for the safety of himself, his fellow competitors and of course his competitor's equipment, his real attitude is coming out. As to what you stated about his family "helping" people out I will not comment on that because I am only a fan and have no clue what goes on in the pits. However, I call things as I see them and I will say that it seems Brad Loyet's family would want Brad to succeed in his racing career, especially with the vast financial investment they have made into it, and by driving the way he does I think he is setting himself up to fail in the long run.

His family will and does help out more people than you will ever know, and they do so because they are good people, nothing more and nothing less! Let's not start bad mouthing Brad Loyet as a person because he wrecks some race cars!

It is starting to sound like QMA and USAC .25 racing. :rolleyes:

Get the naming rights from famous Tex and now we have the ultimate saviour of short track midget racing.
Hey, NASCAR has Ric Flair so we could get Hornswoggle for this.

IT'S RACING!!!!! Little hard to tell by the speed of the video at the end but come on everybody it's the last lap and throwing on a slider if you are running 2nd is the norm for any driver. To me throwing a punch is worse than throwing a slider. :icon_smile_blackeye

I enjoyed the show last night and I am glad I made the trip.:Steer I have yet to see a poorly run show by Powri. Powri officials started the program on time and gave us a full night of midget and micro racing for $12 admission. They re-worked the track when needed and still were able to keep the program moving along pretty well considering all of the cars who came to race.

I didn't care who won and it is always difficult when a situation occurs that causes the officials to get involved. They made a call, right or wrong depending on which fan base, car owner, mechanics, drivers, etc; but they made a call and will live with it. I hope everyone who is critical of either driver was at the Southern Illinois Center last night for a first hand view of the proceedings. If not, you are all speculating as to what really did happen.

I was sorry to see Don Moore's car not make it but with all he has said on the IOW board, I certainly didn't expect to see it there. A great opening night crowd that was treated to an entertaining racing program. I certainly couldn't have asked for more.:thumb

Im speaking now as a Race fan.Not a brad Kuhn fan.

I agree Brad Loyet on not getting the win because his "Mistake" was during the race. I agree that 2nd place got the win because there was no mistake made during race action.

As for punching another driver after racing action is compeleted i feel that there should be no penelty.Because racing was completed.

Just IMO

Not having been there its hard to say much other than rubbin is racing. I enjoy watching both Brads. Both seem pretty decent sorts off the track as well. Hopefully they both put this behind them and have great seasons. Both are obviously very talented and intense. Heck, they wouldn't be doing this if they were not a few steps beyond competitive type A's.
