JUST VENTING !!

I just have to VENT !!

Last night I was in the stands at my local track and witnessed an over the top family member of a driver.  After an on track accident this lady was screaming at the top of her lungs that the driver that caused the spin was a " Dirty Driver " !! This was obviously meant to be heard by the family and friends of said driver, who were sitting in the next section.  Her little rant showed NO CLASS and made the whole group she was representing look bad. Lady did you ever consider that the driver in question is new to the class this year and is prone to mistakes due to the learning curve. I have seen your veteran driver make mistakes worse than what happened and no one said "boo" about that !! Did you ever consider that at those speeds with cars so close that sh_t just happens and usually very fast !!  I doubt those things ever crossed your mind. There is only one solution to that !! Go get a car and find out for yourself  !!!!  Then I can yell at your supporters on what a dirty driver you are !!!!

ALL DONE VENTING NOW !
THANK YOU

I once saw a quote that works well here... "Welcome to (name of said track) Where High Tech and Low Life Collide"

Grandstand drivers always know how to drive better.I also think they get more ticked off then the drivers.

Sometimes the women in the stands make bigger fools of themselves than the drivers.
I don`t think they realize how embarrassing they are being, or else don`t care.

I get a kick out of people watching,,, I'll be this "lady" gets crazy every week at the races. As long as everybody is having fun (no fighting) that's what racing is all about (?).

When I was about 5 years old we sat near a drivers wife at Dundee raceway who put on an interesting display. Her husband who was a very nice guy got taken out of the race and the track did nothing to the other driver who continued on in the lead. The lady who was easily a 300 pounder let go with a screaming tirade of words I as a five year old had never ever heard! (increased my vocabulary on the spot). Then she proceeded to climb out of the grandstand and cross the warning track to the edge of the speedway where she threw rocks at the offending driver everytime he came around! Finally security came and escourted her out. Great Fun And A Huge Education to A Young Boy!

 I think I remember that night.... I also remember a Late Model driver getting suspended for a week or 2  for getting out of his car after he got stuffed into the turn one wall and throwing rocks at the guy who stuffed him.

Never get between a driver's wife and her target.

Quote ( Her husband who was a very nice guy got taken out of the race and the track did nothing to the other driver who continued on in the lead. ) so often this happens because its thier star driver and before you know it the car and fan count is pathetic and next the track closes its doors!!! however there are some fans in the stands that do not know how to act in public regaurdless of the situation!!

What happened to Wall Rider?
Actually, last night when you were lining up for the feature I think I referred to you as Brandon Clappertruck.

I was reminded tonight that I must have a "Please sit right in front of me even if the grandstands are empty" sign right on my forehead! And I also got the "I must stand for the entire show" guy off to my lower left too. No screamers tonight though!
