Penalty , DQ or whats your honest opinion

[pdailey]

BS to that one, I could see check one and others from where I viewed the race and could see all cars coming through from S/F past you, there were def not 10 cars per race without nets up, either day. IF there were, how come you did not report this many to SNORE relay???? I was listening all day both days, like the teams were supposed to according to the drivers meeting friday night.


For Pat, I am not sure who exactly made the call on the vehicle booted from starting the race, but it may have had something to do with the HDRA stickers it had on it! lol

Haha. I think I may have left a SCORE sticker on my 5/1600 car before. I don't remember getting sent home. LOL

I know, I know....I'm just stirring the pot.

Let me get this straight, just so my simple mind could understand. Cody was told to fix his roof at S/F. Then what happened after that? He won the race?

Pat, According to an official at start / finish Cody left the start / finish line headed to the hot pits for a new roof and the next time across start / finish he had a roof.

Perfect. Thanks Kelly. That's all I wanted to know and puts that to bed.

Pat ... we were in the sky lift watching this whole thing happen.

As stated, it was announced over Weatherman (SNORE ops) 3-4 times that Kenny Freeman wasn't running his roof.Asking if it was fair to stop the 1600 cars for window nets and not his car. Kenny finally came on and said he wasn't in the car, but if the roof was off ... that his car would be stopped at the hot pit to be fixed. I'm 95% sure that it was on the first lap.

I couldn't see the hot pits where we were ... but it was like 2 more laps before a makeshift roof was on the car.

Also, some cars were being stopped (to a complete stop) at S/F and some were given rolling stops ... we have video of the in-field showing (just by chance, not to prove anything) all of this.

Not calling out anyone or trying to get involved ... but that is what happened. Everyone heard it.

And how much good will a "makeshift" roof do anyway!!!!

I think it's pretty easy here. If it wasn't the Freeman's... would you really complain this much about it? I personally don't think so. Look @ NeckCar,,, those guys get black flagged and drive around as much as possible before they have to pull in. He was trying to stretch his lead plain and simple, I would have done the same and you would have to until they found a roof or stepped in front of you to pull in. I heard Shapley on the radio say Cody would be stopped if he didn't fix it the lap they did. Done, keep racing. Too many personal beef's on here trying to make other people look bad to get others to jump on your side. As far as the Gross thing,, Don't try to promote your race org. @ a SNORE event, is that so hard to understand? Maybe we will set SNORE booths @ all the HDRA events and see how that goes over? They should have let him race but I see what was going on... Not to hard to figure that out either. Get over it and race and quit trying to stir up the "Good Ol Boys" thing.... sheez!! T-Baggin......... OUT!

No he did not win. 2nd on SAT and broke on SUN I beleive. I have some PM's you guys would love to see. I'm hated by some of the Club /SNORE Family and really dont care anymore. Whats right is right and B-Members are not treated the same. There I said it's done and will race with another org from now on. What a shame its come to this after I dedicated lots of time along with others to help. I wish SNORE success its just not a fit any longer for me.

lol, yeah via the race course, nearly a full lap, this is the OG poster's point, the window nets could have been handled the same way, but were not.

It won't do anything ... but SNORE has a rule in place and has stopped others in many previous races (myself included). They just got called out. That's all.

Agreed. Jumping in on the Freeman hater's club is uncalled for by all ... but they are probably a little irk'd about it, understand if it looked liked it did (which it did, sorry).

As far as the DQ because of running different stickers and/or being part of a different org ... all high school bs if you ask me. You won't see Sal or Casey kicking you out and/or DQ'ing you if you run other decals. I think in time it will settle down. Wounds are still fresh, we all just need to get along IMO.

Kelly why does everyone else have to stop and fix theirs right their. Its just one of several BS things that happened.I'm not a bad person just dont like whats good for some does not apply to others. Simple I'm done.
