CAN SOMEONE EXPLAIN TO ME WHY THE TRACK OFFICIALS ALWAYS HAVE TO ALTER THE OUT COME OF THE RACES?  #12 HAD  ONE HELL OF A RUN GOING ON AND GOT SCREWED BY THE OFFICIALS.  THIS GUY EARNED AN OUTSIDE POLL STARTING SPOT FOR THE MAIN AND DECIDED TO START IN THE BACK.  HE DROVE HIS WAY TO THE FRONT (DROVE HIS BUTT OFF I MIGHT ADD).  SOMEONE RAN OUT OF TALENT IN FRONT OF HIM IN THE CORNER AND GETS CROSSED UP AND THE 12 TAGS HIM AND HE SPINS OUT.  THE OTHER CAR CLEARLY WAS ALREADY SPUN BUT THE 12 GETS BLACK FLAGGED FOR IT. YES THE BLACK WAS BECAUSE HE DIDN'T GO TO THE BACK, THE OTHER GUY GOT HIS SPOT BACK.  IT WAS CLEARLY JUST A RACING INCIDENT. THE FIRST TIME A GUY SHOWS UP PUTS ON A DRIVING DISPLAY LIKE THAT IN YEARS AND HE GETS SCREWED OUT OF IT IS REAL AGGRAVATING. BUT IF YOU ARE A LOCAL OR TRACK FAVORITE YOU CAN GET AWAY WITH ANYTHING.. OR IF YOUR FAMILY IS IN THE SCORING TOWER YOU WIN THE CHAMPIONSHIP.  JUST AN OBSERVATION FROM A RACE FAN....BUT WAIT NEXT RACE IS COMING AND IT WILL BE BACK TO RACING AS NORMAL. FOLLOW THE LEADER AROUND THE BOTTOM NO PASSING UNLESS THE PERSON AHEAD OF YOU LETS YOU. IF YOU TRY THAT RACING STUFF WE WILL NOT HAVE ANY PART OF THAT.  ITS MY UNDERSTANDING THIS GUY USE TO RACE HERE  ALL THE TIME BUT IS RACING ELSE WHERE NOW, DO YOU THINK THESE THINGS COULD BE THE REASON WHY?   IT WOULD BE NICE TO SEE SOME RACING GO ON SOMETIMES.. SORRY!  SILLY THOUGHT!  THAT IS NOT IN THE RULES.  IF YOU WANT TO RACE GO SOME WHERE ELSE AND IF YOU WANT TO WIN PUT YOUR FAMILY IN THE  TOWER...

Hmmm....sounds like you're a little upset?!?!?  :?

But what I would like to know is WHAT does the call on the #12 car have to do with any other driver?!?!  :X  I AM SO SICK AND TIRED OF BEING ACCUSED OF CHEATING IN THE TOWER!!  I have not cheated this year or any year for that matter.....IF YOU THINK THE JOB IS SO DANG EASY....FEEL FREE TO COME ON UP AND TRY IT!!  But, for some reason, NO-ONE will take us up on that offer!!  I have NOTHING to do with the way he drives the car.....the qualifying is based on the ELECTRONIC clock that is used, when the cars drive by the flagstand it trips the sensors......we just start the clock...the drivers & cars do the rest!  As far as line-scoring.....come on up and try it and tell me how easy it is to cheat while you're scoring 16-18 cars.  We score in ink, NOT pencil....there is NO whiteout or scribbles on the paperwork as there has been in the past.............SO BEFORE YOU START THROWING ACCUSATIONS OUT, COME ON UP AND WATCH FOR YOURSELF OR BETTER YET, TRY IT!  

It's amazing when someone's NOT doing well....it's ALWAYS someone's else's fault!! :X  Besides the fact that he's won a few championships that I haven't been in the tower for, oh but I suppose you think the girls up there then also cheated for him?!?!  Give me a flippin' break! :X  He's been protested before, and NEVER has been found "illegal".....sooner or later, maybe he'll get the credit for just being a good driver and building good cars!!  :cool:

As far as the call on #12....I can't exactly remember the call on the radio regarding the #12 car....but after some of what's happened this year...it wouldn't surprise me if a "bad" call was made...and I'm sorry for that...as Gannon is a GREAT driver!  So, sorry for him if he got screwed, BUT don't come on  here slammin the job that we do, when no-one else seems to want to do it!
