Dan,
I'm sorry.
I overreacted. I'm sure glad racing isn't something I get emotional about....
And yes, some people have no concept of what the word Honor means. What they
did took all of the skill and ability that stealing pencils from a blind man
takes.
Anyone who sees unquestionable cheating and doesn't report it, is the cheaters
assistant. And while I'm on my box, I'd like to mention the phrase
"Spirit and intent on the rules." This is a very important concept in amateur
sport. Without it, an amateur sport turns into chaos and descends unto a rule
making contest filled with politics.
Thankfully we in LSR have people like you and the rest of the SCTA/BNI crew
to depend on.
Thanks for all of your help,
Bryan
