Diving is always judged on style points!

Re: Sliding through the lights trying to stage
There would have been a lot more style points if they had known the Championship was going to hinge on the action!!!!! Almost said dive.

We both obviously have strong opinions based on who we know or where we are from. So I will try my hardest to quench my ego and make this my last post on the issue :-) I'm trying to be objective here and listen what people have said that was not just pure accusations or conjecture. You mention the race being rigged between Doug and Justin. You are correct, it was and it was explained earlier in the thread by someone who was there. The explanation makes sense to me otherwise they would have done a better job of covering up . The thing about the switch was a different race with a different driver and an explanation was given by the former owner of that car. I sticking with my point of view based on what has been presented that its all on the up and up. To take your point of view in my opinion your calling some very respectable people who have commented on the situation liars. I'm sure that was not your intention but with one accusation comes the other. |
Re: Sliding through the lights trying to stage
Well, since you brought it up again, what's that like 3 or 4 times now?, I'm going to post about it again.

Second, what's even lower and more bush league is what Charlie has done to Don after what happened in Norwalk. I heard there is a court date set for the 18th of this month in Illinois. Don had to file a lawsuit to try to get some money out of Charlie. Maybe somebody can do a "Live from" the courthouse. |
Re: Sliding through the lights trying to stage
Toby if you want the facts on the deal with don and I you or anyone can call me anytime 517-605-8309. If not keep playing on the Internet, I don't care.
I think it's funny someone that doesn't even own his own race car calls me bush league. You don't have a clue about the accident and how don has changed the amount he wants three times now. You are right the court will decide our deal later this month. Looking forward to it. |
Re: Sliding through the lights trying to stage
Yep, you got me there! I don't own my own race car.
You're right, I don't have all the facts. So, let me see if I got this straight. Since he has changed the amount three times, you shouldn't have to pay him anything? What if the judge rules that you don't have to pay him because of the waiver or whatever. Is that what you're going to do? |

Toby may not be a race car owner, however, his driving skills make up for it for any car owner to hand him a race car to drive! |
Re: Sliding through the lights trying to stage
Dam this is as bad as the ESPN coverage of the football players in Miami.
Whats done is done Justin Lamb is champ like it or not.Its like playing cards ..Everyone plays the game to there advantage some win some don't. By the way I have run out of popcorn... |
Re: Sliding through the lights trying to stage
Judge Judy would straighten this all out and it would be great if it was on TV.....:D
Pat Musi made it on one of those TV courtroom shows.....and we could get 2 episodes... One for the pit accident and one for the possible round diving..... |

Re: Sliding through the lights trying to stage
Since none of the three players with questionable starting line antics were anywhere near the top in points, laying down to help a fellow west coast racer win the championship would be the thing to do.

Re: Sliding through the lights trying to stage
NO Questionable starting line tactics on Gilleys part !!! Just drivers error on a Heads up Race !!! For you bench racers, that means give it all you got best man wins, in this case it was Justin Lamb, why has nothing been said about the Div race back east last year, when a Stock racer won ALL 6 rounds by way of red lights, was that luck or did all 6 drivers lay down for him !! Did NHRA keep the money ? Or was his Win any less of a Win than winning it at the finish line ? Maybe we should start having a liberal class where everyone is a winner, You guys need to get job, no get a life !!! BTW no takers at Pomona on calling Gilley a liar and a cheater to his face !! Imagine that !

You guys might as well suck it up and move on hes the champ no matter how he got it or what anyones perception of how he got it is. This isn't the first time a champion has been crowned with people asking questions and I am sure it wont be the last. |

I'm surprised that no one has asked why Gilley was using a 2 step on a heads up run? I was under the impression that, on the majority of carbureted cars, foot braking was 3-5 Hundreths quicker than using a 2step? And also why he didn't test it to see if it would hold before the round if he was "thrashing it hard" for the heads up? I'm not claiming that it's %100 a payoff/dive/whatever you want to call it but the rounds where Lamb gained the points he needed to clinch the championship look far to suspect to not be questioned in depth. Now it's time for some more popcorn ! |

I happen to know Mr. Gilley and Mr. Romero and they are not the type to sell their soul or dive for someone else to win a race. |
Re: Sliding through the lights trying to stage
Its funny when you hear people comment about knowing someone and what that person would do. Reminds me of the neighbor of the person that just shot 5 people at the local mall, and they always say "I didn't think he was the type of person".......

Re: Sliding through the lights trying to stage
And yet many of us are much closer to our racing friends than we are any of our neighbors. Probably much closer to our racing friends than most other people are to their neighbors.
This whole episode has been great entertainment. Not real good for the sport. As a comedian once said, it ain't funny, but it's something to laugh at. One thing is for sure, there are a lot of people around here who should be in excellent physical condition, since they get an incredible amount of exercise jumping to conclusions. |
Re: Sliding through the lights trying to stage
That's very true Mr Alan.

Re: Sliding through the lights trying to stage
My Orthodontist reference was a bit overboard, however, I believe it is time to put an end to the drama and accusations of others diving.
Like Alan said, we racers are a family and there are many racers that I consider such and are closer to me than my own family. I know personally Bob Lambeck, Gilley and Romero. Bob has been racing forever and has been one of the pioneers of this sport in many aspects. Gilley and Romero are avid racers like many of you and I know they would not have given a free ride to Lamb. Like a few have speculated, I believe the run between Doug and Justin, if it was for Doug to earn the run money and his car was hurt, they should have made it less obvious. Nevertheless, making accusations of other racers diving for Justin I believe is out of character. It is time to put all this infighting behind and look forward to a next year of racing and new challenges! |
Re: Sliding through the lights trying to stage
Once again the Mississippi river splits the country. It's East vs West.
Time for more popcorn. |
Re: Sliding through the lights trying to stage
Put it away. It's all over and there is nothing more to talk about.

We currently race five Mopar Thermoquad Stockers NONE are quicker on Footbrake. Gilley ALWAYS uses a two step and blinder. I stand by all my observations of that race that I posted. John Irving |
