Thats it for tonight's action, on to the Speedbowl tommorow night, we will save you a seat in the stands as always!

Date: Fri Aug 19 23:06:06 2005

sorry i missed you tonight but lloyd finished 9th and still is the point leader

Date: Sat Aug 20 10:20:18 2005

guess you were right, even though "they" tried to prove you guys wrong

Coby floundered around but it brings the car count up and increases the average for the regionals. wonder who will be in it next week.

always thinking that guy

Date: Sat Aug 20 11:01:53 2005

No ....... Coby was there to bring out a yellow for TC in case he needed one. TC got a drive through and low and behold Coby spun out for no apprarent reason and brought out the yellow - TC stayed on the lead lap. Even SMS knew it was intentional as the 33 was held for it. Coby's not there for car count here is there for the TC (total cheater) to get a caution when he needs one.

Date: Sat Aug 20 12:36:46 2005

wow...good observation

so who will be the patsy next week?

Date: Sat Aug 20 14:11:15 2005

Anyone who has got no shame.

My takes on the night are going to be short and sweet once again. And they are as follows: All winners deserved their wins. And someone in the SK division really needs to get his head straight when it comes to his actions on the track. Officials had to stop scoring Sandberg after five laps of black flags. (Shame on you!)

Date: Sat Aug 20 19:34:41 2005

Sandberg will be in TCs backup car next week.

The hot talk around the scene is, (and this is unofficial until SMS releases there weekly "police log") is that John Sandberg, has been suspended from competiton for the rest of the year, and Donny Lia will be suspended for two events, for their actions during the 8/19 event.

They should throw Teddy out!!

Why on earth do they let him get away with so much?

I know they have some kind of crazy rule about backup cars, and that is why someone is running it. If something happens to his primary car he cant get in the backup unless it's been on the track.

I say outlaw backup cars.

Because for the past few weeks (and I hate to admit it), TC hasn't been the one causing the accidents on the track.

I feel sorry for those who have had great runs during the early part of the SK features during the past few weeks, only to end up getting stuffed into the wall. If what openwheelracer said is true (and I'm believing it), then I'm sure this is a wake up call towards the drivers. This kind of thing won't happen again.

Date: Mon Aug 22 18:40:09 2005

Did he, or did he not have his backup car spin so he didn't lose a lap?

HE HAD COBY SPIN.

Wake up Honey, and smell the cofee!!

Date: Mon Aug 22 18:42:27 2005

Teddy has also been sent to the rear 4 times in the last 4 weeks for rough riding.

Time to throw him out!!

Before I begin, I'd like to mention to you that I'm not "Honey". Don't call me that.

To continue, this is the second week that TC has had someone drive a backup. I understand that the first week of the "backup charade" (August 12) involved a busted motor from Eric Berndt's 54. TC let him use his backup because of that. I don't see anything wrong with that night.

This past Friday night (August 19), he had Doug Coby drive the backup. I didn't think about the car after that. But I did see him spin in turn two. I'm not quite sure it was to make sure TC didn't lose a lap. TC can be sneaky, but I don't see him being that sneaky.

We'll have to wait and see what this upcoming Friday (August 26) produces before I can come up with some testimony.

Date: Tue Aug 23 17:52:22 2005

TC let Eric use his back up car because Eric had problems with his car and was in the top 5 in points at the time. He let Coby drive it to help him try and win the championship.

For you to say TC hasn't been the one causing the accidents, you must be missing the race.

If the worst penalty you get for dumping someone is go to the end of the pack you are going to get everyone dumping the cars they can't pass. At least put them a lap down so we don't have another Friday nite like last weeks.

MandyB · Stafford's Turn 1 "Princess"

But even if TC had set that up, how would the officials have noticed?

Date: Wed Aug 24 07:31:54 2005

Someone had to go on the radio and tell Coby to spin.

Maybe the had a signal so no one would hear them tell him to spin. The sad thing is, if you look at the lap times Coby had a very fast car, much faster than Teddy. And if Teddy reads the lap times Coby's out of that car. He'll get someone else who won't show him up!!

One thing for sure Bo will not spin out if he has a chance to win, and he's not out there to just drive around. Should be fun to watch friday night.

Of course Bo's not going to purposely spin. He'll race that car like he does with every other race car he's driven. He'll race to win. I would love to see the looks on everyone's face if he wins Friday.

To answer your question...yes, I have attended a bunch of races since 2000. I have a picture of me on another thread in Victory Lane (earlier this year). If you're ever in the area on a Friday night, I'm over in the turn one grandstands. Stop by sometime.

Now now Anon lets play nice. You have your opinion on the way you see things, Mandy has hers. Lets just leave it at that.
