top end braking

ernie kendall · 05-06-2008, 10:02 AM

here we go again. super comp vir. is it going to take someone to get killed before this stops?? i was 2 pair ahead of this accident so it could have been me the victim of a idiot who places winning at all cost!!!

Well Ernie I have to agree with you on this one. As far as winning at all costs I am sure a dime won't come out of that kid's pocket. I just feel bad for Kyle who ran a good clean race.

my brakes were stolen.....

What actually happened........anyway

First, I agree that it was a stupid thing to do, and Kyle C, who crashed, had no business hitting the brakes at his experience level...no question.

But Asta, how do you know a dime won't come out of his pocket? I know for a fact that's not true...far from it. no one feels worse, no one is harder on him, and no one will pay longer than Kyle C for his rookie mistake, including the knowledge that he almost took out Kyle K in the process.

I also think both drivers were on the brakes...

A terrible accident that all drivers, rookies and veterans alike, should learn from.

Bruce,

What is your definition of taking someone out? Kyle K.'s car most likely has to be back-halved. As far as Kyle C. (Stalba's) car I am sure the per race rental fee wasn't coming out of Kyle C.'s weekly allowance.

Bruce, quick question, have you ever let go of a trans-brake button before?

Is this for real. What business is of anybody other that Kyle, Kyle and Toms. The fact of hitting the brakes they were both on the brake as well as anyone that wants to win.. Apartently the guy from the top would rather just drive dragster to the car shows looking start ahead for the win. This is bracket racing and the gas pedal and the brakes come into play. At least there brakes work!!

Leave the kid alone. We have all made mistakes in this game and keep learning everyday. I also no for a fact that Kyle has taken responsibility on his own to fulfill his obligation to Tom, that says more about him than anything else can...

I was the pair DIRECTLY in front of the Kyle race and let me tell you that in that round I drove the crap out of my car from the 1/8 mi to the 1000ft from the 12mph cross wind and wasnt comfortable with hitting the brakes if that continued past the 1000'. However it did get better and I did jump on my brakes and had NO PROBLEMS. But I have been driving long enough to "feel what the car is doing" and possibly Kyle C got caught in a slide that he didn't know he was in!

Anybody reading this knows that there has been more than one instance that they were in a crossed up race car because of there own stupidity! WE LIVE AND LEARN!

I bet next time the "Kyles" are behind the wheel they will have a greater respect for what can happen in a blink of an eye!

Hi

Sorry to minimize the damage to Kyle K's car.

I was just thankful that the two cars didn't tangle and someone really get hurt.

Asta, yes, of course, but most of my runs were in a stick shift.
