149 SAM BERRI vs 1456 Brandon "AMATEUR HOUR" Aurther

[MARXICO]

More bureaucracy and regulation solves everything.

Carson I respect your opinion because we both speak from our experience!

You experienced bureaucracy and regulations stopping you and your friends from driving to the mall unless accompanied by an adult

I have experienced a 16 year old drive out of control crash into my race car and end my race with no accountability, followed by a pack of angry parents trying to justify why their little angel is just learning how to race at others expense

This is my point; a kid has no idea how much time it takes to earn the money it takes to fund a race car sure he can assemble one if the parents buy the parts and supervise the assembly but he does not respect the work, time and dedication it too to generate this disposable income along with the daily cost of living and is exempt of all responsibilities.

...sentenal ...i'm not sure i spelled it right but that's prolly what's needed in all sanctioning bodies IMHO. if whoever is holding things up, keeps blocking traffic after getting the signal, then it's on after that.

No buggy pulled over to let Brandon by, both racers were parked at the bottom of the hill already.

The buggy you see in the video at 4:47 is moving and pulls over to let 1456 by.
The co-driver in 1456 gives the buggy a thank you wave.

I think it is funny that anyone assumes that the driver and co-driver even heard a siren with their helmets on and engine noise. How many threads have there been in the past about riders staying in front for miles with a siren blasting behind them. Just because we can (maybe) hear a siren in through the GoPro video does not mean they could hear it.

It truly is funny how we all can watch the same video and all see it differently.

The team posted the video because I am sure they thought it would validate their position, and many of you see it differently.

It would be interesting to hear Brandon's play by play commentary of the video - we have never heard from him.

This is an interesting thread because the subject is near and dear to all racers who have been in the same position as Brandon or Sam or both and had to make split second decisions without the benefit of reviewing the video first.

Kinda like claiming that all the spectators standing on a hill side are actually standing on the race course. Or plowing thru the crowd everyone is drunk & its there fault not the drivers & co-drivers???? But every other racer stays on the real course & goes threw the water under the bridge that the race director specically told all of us its ok to drive thru.

HAHAHAHA

The press alone off of this is priceless regardless of who hit who.

Guaranteed everyone knows who Sam & Arthur are now. lol

this rivals the amount of press Robby Gordon has gotten from last years Dakar race

From that angle I understand 100%- it's hard for most to understand the fiscal and the physical responsibility of driving a race truck or even just a regular car.
