Milan national event hospitality

CBS · 05-29-2008, 08:38 AM

it was our 1st IHRA event since 2005 and I thought it was fine...DW sr is a pretty good guy and if he told you to move up.....you were probably holding things up....there's a lot of things going on at these races and you have to have respect for the schedule there trying to run....by keeping the gap closed in front of you....now since we've determined you were wrong on this one....I think an apology is in order....lol

DW senior is a frequent visitor to this site....so it was nice to get this one closed quickly....

Still, DW response was rude as a representative to that saction or any other. He could have simply explained to him why he needed him to move. I also agree that common sense would have been to keep the flow going. I see a lot of racers holding up the program.

I was not trying to hold anything up, nor did I hold anything up. I was also the last car in that line so I was not holding anyone else up. And everyone knows I am such a REBEL and look for trouble at all the races I attend.

If that comment wound have been made to me I would've turned right around and loaded my stuff up and hit the road. Racing should be fun and really is a guy checking his tires gonna hold up the program...not likely what does it take 30 seconds.

You have no idea how hard it is to sit here and keep my mouth shut, like I probably should. My dad works his tail off at these races and tries to make everyone happy. I know there is a high level of stress involved, working sometimes 14 to 18 hour days. Am I going to side with my dad, HECK YEAH! Right or wrong, I'll always stand behind him. We both have lots of freinds at the track, and I hope it stays that way. Mr. Miller, the side of him you saw is not the way he is about every situation and/ or every person by any means at all. I'm sorry you guys got off on the wrong foot and I am quite sure, if you are the nice guy you say you are, then you, him, I and everyone would all get along just fine. With that being said, I myself am sorry the incident occured as it did. I say that because I carry the Waters name with pride and do my best to keep my name and reputation out of the mudd. I hope that you can both get over this situation and get on with it.

Sincerely,

Danny Waters, Jr.

I'm thinking the comment about NHRA was unnecessary. These guys get to the track early in the morning and leave after all of the racers have started their evening festivities. And on top of it all they do it for peanuts! They are there because they love IHRA so a comment like that deserved the reply you recieved!

you don't have to run IHRA, you don't have to run NHRA. there are jerks at both santioning bodies, D.W. is NOT one of them!

Amen........

Lets move on......

This whole thread is horse****. This whole thing started from a smart ***** comment and that always leads to other poorly chosen words. DW and all of the IHRA officials are the reason MOST people say IHRA is sportsman racer friendly. Go tell NHRA that IHRA looks good and see what you get.

Fuzz - I am not even in the Rock Haas fan club, so I better get off of his site.
