So I think Jay has one on for Marion.
Marion said he called him every name he could think of, then put his hand out to shake, but Jay wouldn't shake.
We will see what happens this weekend in Mich., [red light] could be coming?

Tree problems seem to be a issue at National Trail.
At last years Div. race ,the tree had a problem with 1 lamp not working on the left lane.
They finally replaced the tree with one they "borrowed" from Indy.
That one had the lamps in the right lane facing everywhere but the racer !
Jay did'nt see a problem with that either.

Starter should notify the tower then the race should be a re-run no matter what.

Jay hates, loathes and despises stock and superstock. We are a necessary evil to him. And he proves it over and over. Even I have had an all but physical fight with him in the tower once. He was making Superstock wait till the very end of the track's bracket race for their final run. He was even making the bracket guys hot lap insteading of sending Superstock down in between their rounds. It was getting very late and unsafe for the faster cars but he didn't care. Reason was irrelevant.

Ritch Bowers should be our division director. He does all the work anyway and he is fair minded to all racers, not just his pet Top Sportsman and Top Dragsters. And you can thank Jay for the fact that they race in NHRA now too. He stole them from IHRA.

Rerun, no question. I am so sorry Marion got screwed.

I always felt that we never had the quality division directer as other divisions have , just another reason i can add to my list why i gave it up .

Stock and superstock are part of the show should be fair to all of use. If he doesnt like the job he should get a new one

Ten or eleven years ago Lynwood DuPuy and Rick Stewart gave me a rerun at Sonoma when the second bulb didn't come on on my side of the tree in the first round. Remember, Hummer?

Strange thing was that several pairs of cars ran before they changed the bulb but only the ones who bitched got a re-run.

You should have come to Division 2, where you could have enjoyed having Bill Holt as your division director.
