I was watching what happened after the race to the 07 in the infield and that was totally wrong. If there is rubbing going on ON the track thats one thing. But to intentionally t-bone a car and push him in the infield deserves some kind of penalty. I sit on the front stretch and while it looked to me like the second car DID try to sandwich the 07, that is just what it looked like to me. Beadlocks angle suggests the second car was not directly involved. Everyone would have a different opinion on that depending where they were sitting.

But there is no denying that the first car did it intentionally and for that it seems like some kind of penalty should be assessed.

This class has grown so much with almost a full field for the features now and with that is going to come some bumping and grinding on the track. You all are supposed to be beginners in this class for the most part and with the addition of up to 18-20 cars in the features now compared to 10-12 the past few years that is just more bumping and grinding that is going to go on ON the track because there is more side to side racing. Which I think is GREAT !!!

One other thing I liked seeing the other night too that to me would seem to work out better than having to keep the cars running around the track was the RED light. If someone gets the black flag and ignores it, STOP them cars right on the front stretch and then get the guilty car off the track like they finally did the other night to the 5x.

Well while i am on a roll, one more thing. I watched 3 different videos of the bmod race from Saturday night and all 3 of them were from different places at the track !!! COOL !!!!!
But, I hope all this new age video and incar camera stuff doesn't end up costing all the tracks money in the long run by people staying home and watching the dirt track races from the comfort of their homes. Just a thought. I like both, going and watching the replays on the video so life is good for this racefan.

Anytime Anyone uses their car deliberately as a weapon, there should be an immediate suspension for 1 year for the first time, and lifetime ban on the second.

Anything else is just a lawsuit waiting to happen, and I'd hope HPT is a whole lot smarter than letting people who can't control their temper continue to have 'chances'. This is just a stupid thing to do. Safety should come FIRST, not last, and not after the pocket book. Cost you way more in the end, because the other drivers won't feel safe (or feel it is worth it) and leave - and fans will leave in disgust. Can't even imagine how the hpt track crew feels, but I'm sure the pay isn't worth getting run over by a dumb a$$.

Any driver black flagged, but stays out on the track is obviously too mad to think clearly, and is a prime candidate to use their car as a weapon of retaliation. Kudos to HPT for stopping the race and getting that idiot off the track.

How bout the cry baby B!tch's clean their sand out of their vagina's, go race have fun and stop being the cry cry baby class of HPT and just race? Guess that's to much to ask for? It's a beginner class... Mistakes will be made on the track... Anything that happens after (a yellow, after the race, or having a meth head waisting time cuz he's a jacka$$) should be severly punished. All this CRAP looks to me that the race director is more woried about car count then he is racing.... Even tho he pretty much told the local HPT guys aren't as good of drivers as the Lakeside drivers... Example... Drivers meating a couple weeks ago when he pretty much told all the HPT guys we don't know how to start a race.

Looks like I'll be running humboldt every other week! At least I know the track owner don't put up with no BS!
