I was a little aggitated to see that a fellow competitor, at the same present event, who obviously did not see the wreck for himself, nor have his facts straight, would get on here and start a thread about an accident. I agree, irresponsible journalism.

I was watching the crash from the finish line on the opposite side of the pits, and it was amazing that neither driver was injured. The camaro locked the brakes up, hit the nova, then backed into the wall nearest to me. The nova also hit the wall. I was really surprised that that neither rolled over. I'm just glad everyone was ok.

Chad Maholsky,

I too was sitting in the stands when the accident happened and like you say things were happening very quickly down there with smoke and cars swirling. Sorry you are so agitated but I must inform you that I am not a journalist. And even the very best of reporters fail to get the facts straight from time to time. This thread won't be the first or last thread on the Internet that takes awhile to sort out. It was still an important event to post about, and like you, I'm very glad that no one was injured.

As for the gentleman over on the other site - he is always taking cheap shots at us over here. Nothing new for him.

Jeff, Back tracking??? I don't think so. I was offering info as it became available and that does not amount to back tracking in my world. You guys seem very anxious over there.

Hello Chad I'm glad to see that Bobby was ok. Hope ya'll get everything fixed ASAP. If you bring some 9in slicks here to Bowling Green I can get a letter from some body that my Undercover dragster came with a 1050CFM carb. and it fits A/SA and your welcome to it until Pops gets his fixed. Later Tom Flowers

Good grief! Symantics...back-tracking, updating, upon review....however you wish to phrase it! I was just pointing out to Dave Young that a moderator did indeed make a post on the subject and how it evolved. So quit being such a thin skinned yankee!

bruce only reported what he thought happened... in effort to let everyone know... unfortunately for him he had a 50 - 50 chance on who caused it and got it wrong.

i am sure he in no way meant to miss report or attack the wrong racer.

jack mccarthy

and MJ was'nt wrong... he could'nt drive a lick in bowling green ... LOL

I gotta give Bruce a pass on this one. He tried, I think he really tried to get the correct info out. It would really be stupid to intentionally misinform people about this as you have to know it will come back to bite you later when all the facts are known. I know some of us have had disagreements with Bruce, but to continue to beat him up about this really serves no good purpose. Please just thank God nobody was hurt and let it go. Jim
