There are a lot of people out there that are total different on the track...it like "oh yeah I'll be over to cut you grass or pave your driveway" then on the track it "die mofo crash crash smoke then hook truck comes and more $$$$ lost" its nuts...

yup 2a that be where i was..... :P

I cant really argue any points made possitive or negitvie but to me bottom line is this particular driver has a past including a ban from the track. He did his time,ok yes i will go with that. However after several issues since opening day,From to the rear,parked for night,suspensions and probations. Bottom line is he just keeps doin stuff the track is saying dont do. I can't get past the simple fact that he is only racing because the speedbowl let him back to begin with it,and he has done nothing but slap them in face by not showing any sign of change. To me that is the whole problem.

now i know it was a different race director, but the 67 late model drove in to the 5 lm door same **** as ray. I seen both accidents how come no one is looking at him like they do ray. Just saying it should be the same for all. Lots of other drivers have done it so that should not be the reason why they look at him so close. If it was cause he is ******* out of the car and he likes to fight the that's different.

watch the language, this is the only warning

sorry


Ok one of the reasons that Ray is under such a short leash is i do believe that Scott has to report to Nascar with him due to the fact of what he has done in the past. If u have a tract record like his. He should have a short leash. They are race cars there is rubbin but they can also be used as a verry deadly weapon. Just Eddie Gertsh Jr who was on the receiving end of a temper tantrum from Ray. He had his car wrecked and if he hit him 4 feet more foward and it would have been a driver's door hit.

Ummm ok so you are saying it is ok to hit another car under yellow as long the damage is not severe? Sorry but i cant dissagree more with that. Just because others have done simular stuff in the past and got away with dont make it right. I was not there when this collision took place,you wanna say i dont a leg to stand on than thats fine. Fact is it happend and was banned from racing at the bowl by who ever at the time. Was allowed back in and has been a problem ever since. The guy knew he had to control himself better and has not done so. Case closed and now he plenty of time to work out his issues. Has had plenty of chances

no im not say its right but other driver have done it and got little or nothing 2 of the wreks with ray this year looked like hard raceing in the ss that is a real ruff class i just think that they where to hard on him but like i said before ray dont shut his mouth and dont know when to let it go

the fans like some ruff raceing just look at the 18 and the 16 last yr they spun each other and put each other in the wall i went every week just to see them 2 race and see what happens

i think tc in the mod is an ***** he drives threw most car and wreck them in stead of racing them just saying
