Default Re: Sliding through the lights trying to stage

Has anyone on this site really been offered money to take a dive?

I must admit I have been approached to do this one time in my life but under very different circumstances. Wichita International Raceway, my local track, was having a "Pro Street/Pro Mod" show with Tony Christian and some other celebrity headliners called in for promotional value. Just my luck I had Tony first round so hopefully someone would get a good starting line photo as I knew that was all I would have to show for my day. Apparently the hand of Jesus push down on the rear of my car and it hooked on that slippery old track like never before and guess what, Tony lost! (plus he redlighted).
That was the end of my luck however because during the run I smoked 4th gear out of the Lenco and was done for the day after all. Being a good sport I was heading up to approach the tower to let them know I was broke, so they could put Tony back in under the break rule if they wanted, when the track operator intercepted me and offered me a couple grand if I let them run Tony in my place next round. He obviously didn't get the report from my pit area. HUMMMM? What to do?

I will admit I felt dirty afterwords.
