Imagine the battle if we could have added Clayton and Ballou into the Short/Cummins fury...........

Does anyone know why Cottle was upset with Tmez? I watched every lap Saturday night, and I didn't see anything that looked "dirty". They raced each other hard, but pretty much everyone raced hard Saturday night.

Clayton looked good in hot laps, pretty good in his heat, but was clearly wicked loose at the start of the feature. He did everything but spin out on the first start, and on the restart it was obvious either something was wrong or he badly missed the setup. Too bad that his return lasted only 3 feature laps.

While it might have been a different story had Ballou started further toward the front, Cummings and Short were awfully strong. On my watch, even in traffic, they were running about 0.1s faster than Ballou at lap 30. Ballou had a great run to come from 20th to 7th.

It's ok for him to run over someone and trash a brand new racecar, but not when something happens to him, all hell breaks loose. I witnessed Cottle at the 2015 Amati Classic at paragon speedway flat run over Jon Stanbrough and send them both flipping. Jon was leading and Shane was in 2nd. Coming out of turn 2, with probably 40 laps left, Cottle drove over Jon's brand new car and destroyed it. You know what Jon did in retaliation? Nothing. Walked to his pit, changed clothes and went home.

Ya I'm sure it's all Cottle's fault. (Sarcasm so heavy a D8 dozer couldn't push it)

I have no clue whose fault it was. I never saw them make contact but I know they were all racing hard in a large group so somebody probably rubbed wheels at some time. But, that's Haubstadt for ya.
