Following somebody Up

well i have an interesting story on this matter. Last weekend when i was at fontana for the sportsnationals i followed up anthony castillo for 1st round. Luckily i ended up getting him and our division 7 director found out and apparently since i was playing "games" he didn't like that and so told the head lane guy to change it up because it wasnt fair to anthony. He wanted anthony to have a fair shot at the championship. I felt that was very unfair of the division director to do that and pull rank. I even confronted him about it and was very upset about it and he really had nothing to say just shrugged his shoulders a lot. I even asked him, what you dont want the number 1 and 2 guys racing at your track? He said yes just not each other and not 1st rd. Dont get me wrong i have all the respect in the world for anothony castillo as he is a great guy and a bad ***** racer but im sick and tired of NHRA people pulling rank whenever they want to get whatever outcome they want!!

I'm surprised Mike did something like that....

Its the Highlight of the season when all the following up happens toward the end.....And if you're involved in it its even better because you know you've had a good season....All the Hitters have done it....and I certainly would do it every time.....

Last year @ Reynolds.....My buddy Erks sent Bones to follow me up in super comp because I was close to him in the division....(Bones went like .00 dead on 1) ....It never crossed my mind that it was a bad thing or anything....that's just how its done....boom he wins the division........given the chance, I would have done the same thing.........

I'm sure Anthony did not have a problem with Shawn....(icing the beer was more important)....so why would Mike (division director).....

Scott,

Bambi from the cheerleading team called, she wanted to know if we finalized travel plans yet. Their charter bus fell through and they are starting to get desperate.

I wonder what would happen at Las Vegas if Dave Connolly and Greg Anderson got each other first round? If they do, you should go to Mike Rice and tell him it's not fair that they have to race first round ... afterall, they are one and two in the points and that would be "unfair" to Anderson.
