glad he's okay. kick the other driver outta the grand am!

 

Wow! that was a bad hit.
You guys see under the GT 8? Its all sealed up.

 

Uhh...so I can barely get on to a racetrack with my own car, but someone is actually paying that guy to drive their incredibly expensive, purpose-built racecar for them!?

Hell, give me a bazillion dollars, I'd be quite comfortable assuring a team owner that I could drive better than THAT.

 

That guy is probably paying to drive the car. That was a totally stupid move, though I've seen Fernando Alonso do something akin to that multiple times this season. Of course, Aloneso (misspelled on purpose) believes the world should bend to his wishes. Maybe the 31 car driver had the same attitude?

 

yah that was really stupid of him

 

Hmm, didn't know that was possible.

I do believe I will be talking to the bank about opening a new savings account tomorrow...

 

I need to get the image of the wreck out of my head, everytime I think about that I want to beat somebody

 

what a moron

 

Usually, a driver will come on board with sponsorship money he has acquired himself. Unless he is rich and wants to spend his own money. If he has sponsorship money then a deal is made on placement and size of the sponsors logo.

 

I personally think he should be banned from racing.

You have to be pretty stupid to do that on in HDPE.


By the way Ben and Cory died the same way two years ago at Calf. Speedway.

That was a HDPE bone head maneuver.

 

I have never felt such an erge to reach thru the screen and beat someone senseless... jesus man, that is just inexcusable stupidity. That guy shoud not be allowed to race, period.
He showed a complete lack of driving skill by going off trck in the first place, and then one-upped it with his 90* entrance at the exit of a high speed corner.

His team should be fined, points should be lost, and the driver should be banned for a season. I cannot believe no one ws seriously injured.

 

You beat the driver and I'll show him pic's inbetween every punch just to freak him out!

 

And I'll stand behind you with a Dead Fish!

Are you making it out to Seven Stock?

 

We need to all figure out how and when to meet up out there. I'll start a thread about it in the SS section so we can coordinate.

 

Man I wish I could go but right now I just dont have the funds Next time guys... Next time.

 

That guy should thank God that I was not at this race

 

sad, just sad

 

Watched it live too......like many of you I couldn't believe what my eyes were seeing. Grand Am does have race licensing standards so, presumably, Mr. Ingram was considered duly qualified........ Makes you wonder though!
As a race instructor for the last 10 years I think this is one of the most dangerous situations newbys face....losing thier composure and pulling a move like this. I think I'm going to incorporate this clip into my teachings........

 

Notice the weird device on the shoulders of the driver in that pic: It's called a "Lifesaver".

Paul.

 

That's the cheap plastic thing invented by that Georgia guy who's family is responsible for infesting the state with Kudzu isn't it?

 

You haven't been watching racing very long. I remember that feeling back in the 80's when Doc Bundy made a stupid move to pass at Riverside. He took out Lynn St. James and a Jaguar driver (I don't remember his name but he was seriously injured and/or burnt). He was an experienced driver and I totally lost all respect for him at that point.

 

LMAO!!

 

Holy ****!!!

 

just when i was getting over that race, someone had to bring it back up . lol jking. but yah that wreck and hamilton crashing into the wall at pit entrance in china made me cry . any how, was that the last race or 2nd to last race for the speed source wreck.

 

someone say kudzu?
