<DIV dir=ltr>A little follow up. On a lighter note. I told the corner workers
I was going to need a flatbed. A pickup truck with a tow rope shows up, assess
the situation and called for a flatbed. Flatbed shows up and immediately
sinks down to the wheels in mud. They had to call a second tow truck to now
pull the flatbed out. The guy from the original pick up truck crew then comes
over with a baseball bat and we proceed to tweak the sheet metal around enough
to be able to be pulled out with his tow rope. All the while the next race
group is gridded up ready to go out watching the rain clouds roll in. Which
they did and proceed to open up about the time that group got the green flag.
To you guys I apologize!<BR> <BR>More thoughts. After we got in we had to
go talk to the stewards. First they pulled the Alpha driver aside and got his
version. Then they pulled me aside and got my version in which I described in
great detail what I was sure happened. Then they asked if I would
show them my GoPro video which I proceeded to do. Funny how what I thought I
remembered happening in great detail didn't happen exactly that way. I felt
kind of funny but the steward were good about it and said don't worry, that is
usually what happens. I wasn't trying to lie about it, I truly thought those
details where what took place. Anyhow, after they watched my video about 5
times they told me in was in the clear and that there was nothing I could have
done and that I actually acted as a buffer for the Alpha and prevented him
from driving straight into the armco at speed which would have been pretty bad
for him. Lucky guy that Alpha driver is. :) His car hardly had any damage, my
drivers side is well, not so good. As I was waiting for the tow I walked out
on track and picked up a big chunk of fiberglass fender that broke off his
car. He wait a minute, that must have been from a previous track event
because people do not run fiberglass in vintage events do
they? :)<BR> <BR>Marty<BR> <BR> <BR></DIV>
