It appears stuff like this is a weekly occurrence there.  But the place is packed, so...  Still trying to figure out what the two track workers are going at each other about.

Looks like the 2 missed the memo about how you stop racing on a partially blocked track when the caution is out.  Every short track I've ever been to reverts back to the last lap completed when positioning cars for a restart, so plowing through does no good.  They should probably sit both drivers down for at least two weeks (along with the WWE hype announcers), but I know they'll all be back next week.

Certainly not the craziest thing I've ever seen someone named Amber Lynn do.

Yeah, if that was my house, they'd both be done for the year, if not forever.

Meh. Typical circle track shenanigans.

I'm a big fan of frontier justice, so I don't necessarily think it's a terrible thing.

By Saturday night circle track standards that's pretty vanilla.  No one had a baseball bat in their car.

I think Dave moody said it best when the cop puts the handcuffs on the drivers and walking them back they are both trying not to laugh till they in the pits.

I think the first worker put himself in danger, and the other guy ran up to chastise him for it.

Everyone should go there for a Saturday night show.  In addition to the history and setting, pretty much right in the middle of town, I is one of the most fun tracks I have ever been too.

And I was thinking "Look at the free advertising they're getting with the video!"  Bet the stands are packed next race.

If you go find her in car footage, it changes the blame a bit.

I'm not sure I would ever call it the center of town, but it isn't terribly far either.

That place is sketchy as berkeley.  This seems to be the norm.  I have no interest in going.  I also don't fit in with the crowd whatsoever.

Go. Not my scene, but for about ten bucks it's a few hours of entertainment and people watching. Been there a couple times, wouldnt mind going back as it's been about 5 or 6 years

You're right.  I put more blame on her now, driving through all that dirt like she was about to pick up 10 positions, not knowing what was on the other side.

I don't think she ever left the track... and there were no spots to pick up  

And the last thing you want to do in that situation is get on the brakes hard. She did nothing wrong.

They both passed the safety car.  A dozen wrongs don't make anyone right.  I could say something about societal decay but past experience shows you all can't handle that.  Funny how evidence for it continues to pop up by the second though, huh?

Yes, because this type of racing has always been a Gentleman's Sport.

Right. Nobody fought or did anything wrong before now.

History is full of bad behavior but you focus on the wrong now and ignore our history. What's that saying about those that fail to learn from history?
