Sportsmanship At The Sportsnationals

Larry Hill · 07-20-2020, 06:59 AM

First off everyone was happy to be racing and seeing old friends and meeting new ones.
I'm sure there were plenty of courtesies displayed by many, but I need to share this example with y'all.
First round of class in FS/D: Taylor gets the win light against Ross. Taylor's engine breaks at the end of the run and will not be able to race. So to let Ross get back in for class Jeff bypassed the scales and fuel check. That some quick thinking by the multi-time Champ. To some it may not mean much but to me it ranks high on the list.

Very quick thinking on Taylor's part ........

Always a class act, not surprised that he would've thought of that. Me I would've been so disgusted about my motor I wouldn't never be able to think like that.

A very classy thing to do. That is the mark of a true champion. Way to go Jeff.

The Taylors have always been a class act willing to help anybody.
