Here's a lap of frustration that doesn't end so well... Was trying to get by an SU car,so Geff Sawtelle wouldn't catch up with me.

After some heated discussion in impound, I finally told this guy it was all my fault. I just should have outqualifed him in the first place.

These guys racing out of class is unacceptable, reminds me of 2008 Nationals race when me and Dave were battling for 1st and some ****tards in a ST1 and SU car where racing us. Look if you are in a ST1 or SU car and a ST2 car is on your bumper move the **** over because you have no driving talent and you are embarrassing yourself. I mean what are you trying to prove that you are faster than a ST2 car in a SU car

Completely agree and for me it's been a constant issue. At Autobahn it was one of the Sweer Brother ST1 Vipers and then the other brother on Saturday at M-O and then this guy in the stock car both days at M-O. During the talk with this guy in the video, things got a bit unprofessional and towards the end he said, "I've got three more of these back at the shop, so we can do this all day as all of them are still worth less than your car" Great attitude...

You might want to buy these guys a beer so they play nice at Nationals, you don't want them screwing with you why you're trying to chase me down.

Wow. I see you edited your original response, so I can read between the lines that what you first wrote was a bit more controversial.

I know John Graber is on this site, so I am sure he is aware of this now. I think that Dave Royce would want to know about this conversation as well.

Nope, I just had a typo... Believe me, I have so much more to say, but it's not the appropriate place.

I spoke to Dave Royce and Scott Good, at great length about this race and post race events. I orginally got a one race suspension served to me about this collision after the race, but once they saw this video, they realized I was not in the wrong and took away my suspension.

Davidson (the driver of the other car) should get a race suspension, but not sure that's going to happen, I would be very disappointed if he didn't.
