"Hey kid, get off my lawn!" hahaha Billy I think this guy needed to be tracked down and the rules of etiquette explained to him. Calmly and concisely as only a seasoned veteran drag racer could do. He might be receptive and spread the word amongst his buddies, before a worse situation occurs.

Some dragster racers do the same thing. I got cut off during a T&T in the Coronet. 136 mph and at 3700 pounds. The guy could have cared less. Not just kids do that

Bill, you should have done a pit maneuver on him. That would have gotten his attention.

Back in the Mod/Comp Combo at E-town, apparently a large number of years ago, I had an A/D cut in front of me in the K/G Opel. I put the Opel in the grass to avoid him. Then I get the pleasure of running him first round and he says that he is going to take the LAST turn-off. You guessed it, low and behold, he goes red and then takes the first turn-off again cutting me off, but I was ready this time staying well behind him.

How did we complain before Internet forums?

Well Ed, I guess that "we" got married. Either that or "we" stopped at the bar on the way home and complained to our "buddies".

If I complained to my wife of 33 years 1/2 as much as the grown men posting here, I’d be divorced a long time ago like many complaining/posting here. I also was never a bar stool guy, another waste of time and $.
