Bob Put one on your car you can run it until someone complains. Then they will give you until the end of the year to change it. Barry

This in car cam is David Barton's second qualifying run. I was hoping for a 9.0 run, but the track could not hold it.

Please understand I wasn't on the starting line or anywhere near it but the rule is the rule and they mean business .On the other side of the coin I wasn't anywhere that I was in harms way and I'm not the enemy that I was treated like .I was simply taking photos - nothing else ........they just don't get it ! ! !

I've been their biggest supporter for a great many years and I don't want any special treatment but some common sense would help - someone had to point me out to that official as I'm sure he had more important matters to attend to than tossing me out .

My advise is to just stay out of their way in the staging lanes ............And abide by the rules ! ! Even if you don't agree ..........

That is the exact same treatment my wife and I received when we went for the first time for the 50th anniversary race. Worse we were ever treated at a race and because of that I've never had a desire to go back.

So what ever happened to "Every Ticket is a Pit Pass?"

Aren't the staging lanes part of the pit's? Especially for someone who is credentialed as a competitor? Maybe it has something to do with taking pictures and not having one of those really cool "PHOTO" vest's!! We all know how wrong that is!

Still a shame you got picked on, Jack!

Jack Matyas · 08-28-2013, 10:15 PM

Nope - Haven't run out yet ..........
