I can understand how some people can be upset with this. But its racing... and whether people like to admit it or not. Stock and Super Stock is a team sport, you need help from others to succeed. I know when ever I race 1 emmons I race 4 because they will all help each other out by tips on opponents driving style, heads up, weather changes and so on. So I don't look at this as cheap racing style but what makes them Great drivers instead of good drivers.

I never notied if the guy who came out #1 was handed any rounds but I know for sure here in Div 1 he wasn't given anything.His downfall was a few heads ups that he couldn't get past.That was unfortunate,but that's real racing,not laying down. Maybe some day this may cost you a race and you'll see it a little different. Maybe you'll post your come back like an adult.

If you don't like what the Emmons' do, then go enter 3 Nationals and 5 Divisionals and win every one of them and then you don't have to worry about it.

Leave the Emmons boys alone - they are stand up guys
I think some people posting here have never had the opportunity to "lay down" For a son, or dad, or brother, or a good friend, or yes, even a TEAMMATE - if they need it - who knows what you would do if given the chance I know what I would do if it mattered I know one other thing - I think it is way worse when someone lays down for money - or don't you think that has ever happened What part of the word TEAM don't you understand

The Emmons boys already have you beat if you have to race them. I love it when people worry about what other people are doing more than they worry about their own program.

The Emmons boys almost never run each other in the 1st round so all you have to do is beat them when YOU run them and you don't have to worry about them taking dives for each other in the later rounds. Problem solved.

You guys miss the whole concept of what I said.I'm not picking on anybody in particular.
Their name came up in the original post.I'm talking about someone laying down in a race by either fouling on purpose lifting wayyyyy early or not showing up at all.If ithas a direct impact on a championship then I think that's bull$hit.The recipient,if he goes on to be champion can relly feel real pride in accomplishment,yeah right.This is only a hypothetical example,not a direct smear on anyone in particular.If you read anything else into it other than what I just said that's your business.

Mike, anybody that good with an adjustable trans brake button could go a little red or be a little late to loose if they wanted, and nobody would know the difference. Why fake it?
