First off I wish the best and hope Tony Z. is doing well and nothing serious I hope. Best Wishes big guy and get well. Now for the one that is just uncalled for. Turn 1 and 2 Bowen shoved Post in the marbles and took the lead in the feature. BS racing that people have to do it that way but you will have it I guess. I dont agree with it. Then Post comes out of turn 2, down the back stretch and turns his car down the bottom of turn 3( WHICH HE DIDNT RUN ALL RACE LONG), and AIMED for Bowen's car. Post not only did you destroy 2 good cars, DID THOUGHT EVER CROSS YOUR MIND THAT SOMEONE COULD HAVE BEEN SERIOUSLY HURT OR EVEN KILLED. So yes he beat the crap out of you to get by you. That doesnt give you the right to intentionaly take him out. In my eyes an act like that, you should be banned from the track permanetly. Crap happens get over it. This same situation happened at Waynsfield last year or the year before with the modified in turn 4. I really hope Limaland takes a look at what some of these drivers are doing to get around others. Yes I do know that is a next to impossible task. The shoving others into the wall or pushing others in the cushion to get around them is just crazy. Lastnight was the worst nights I think I have witnessed for the stock class. I might as well add that even some people thats not even in the points shoving others that are up in the wall. Take a minute to last weeks race what Barney Craig did to Frank Palidino. To end this on a positive note. VERY BIG CONGRATULATIONS TO KEITH ROSTON, and FRANK PALIDINO FOR YOUR RUNS LASTNIGHT. Keep up the good work. Thank god everyone is ok and still walking under there own power. Please im not trying to bash anyone or the track. Im just throwing the facts out there. Sorry for the mispelling on the names. Thank You.

If the stories I heard afterwards about 1 team attacking the other teams truck in the pits are true and they really did break the windshield, the team should be banned for life from Limaland. If the sheriff deputy didn't take somebody to jail, they didn't do their job.

[voyager]

Should have your story straight first Kenny before just posting rumors. You have no idea what happened.

[rogk01]

Kenny didnt say it was fact, He said IF it was true.

I have the highest respect for Jeff babcock and his dad for the respect they have gained from the fans in the past years. Tim Bowen is a talented driver but some of his ways of beating on some ones tail until he rattles them is uncalled for. I have never heard the fans boo the 7b car until a few weeks ago when he won and the boo birds came out of the stands. What respect Jeff babcock has gained for the 7b in the past years is being torn down week by week. A couple of years ago Tim Rostorfer had the feature won at WRP on the last lap Bowen got into the tail of Tim climbed his back and flattened his tire costing Tim a win. Then when he turned into Boo down the back stretch at lima and took both of them out. Then a few weeks ago final lap turn 4 he got into the side of the unoh driver out of turn 4 almost costing the student a win. Tim is a talented enought driver to not need any of these tatics to win. Post proably got pumped for the moment and did some thing he shouldnt. There is nothing wrong with good hard racing thats what every one likes to see. That last night proably did a lot a damage to some cars. This is not nascar we dont need bumping and banging in the corners. I hope all of this can be settled and we can all come back next week for some racing. By the way can i ask what is wrong with Tony Z?

Barney never touched Frank last week when he passed him!

[dirttrackfan4life]

Tony Z. went nose first into turn 2 wall. He has either broken or fractured ribs and two vertebrates in his back the tips are broken off. That is what I was told dont know the truth behind it for 100%. I was also told he was released from the hospital and is soar but is doing fine. I suppose Barney didnt beat the crap out of the back of any cars lastnight either right. For someone that isnt even CLOSE in the points he should give the respect to other drivers that are in the points that he would want also. What did happen with the track? Does anybody know for sure? I have also heard allegations but too many to say for sure.

You are correct. I did not see what happened in the pits. THAT IS WHY I DID NOT USE ANY PERSONS NAME!! But if it did happen like I heard, somebody should have gone to jail and be banned from the track!! Since you seem to know exactly what happened...Are you going to tell us what you saw or is there a reason you don't want us to know the truth?

[racejunky58p]

The accident I was involved in happened because my tie rod, front steering, broke in the middle of turn 3 and I shot up into the wall. Obviously there was a car between me and the wall. Thats just racing.

[cinmill]

Points are not the only thing on the line. They are racing for a spot in "King of The Quarter."

[dcrusty]

Dirttrackfan4lif your venting with out knowing all the facts. I think you need to review your so called facts. I've been to every Limaland race and the boos Bowen received a couple weeks ago tells you what type of driver he is. He made the remark after pushing Anderson into another racer..."It's just racing." OK for him to do it to other racers but let's not let anything happen to him. What happened in the pits to Post's vehicle and personal belongings was uncalled for. Someone needs to be held responsible and banned from Limaland.

[dirttrackfan4life]

ATTENTION DCRUSTY-----> LET ME BE THE FIRST TO TELL YOU I AM IN NO WAY, LET ME REPEAT THAT, IN NO NO WAY A DARN BOWEN FAN. He has drove like that for as long as I could remember. I do not agree with the driving of his kind or any others that do it. With that said. MR 58P so if your steering broke..... WHY IN THE DID YOU STAY IN THE GAS FULL THROTTLE????? Let me guess your throttle got stuck also. Understood. Imagine that you dont go down low the WHOLE race and you STAY full throttle the whole time you went low. WHICH AT THAT SPEED AND ANGLE YOU WASNT GOING TO BE ABLE TO PULL A SLIDE JOB IF THAT WAS WHAT YOU WAS GOING TO TRY AND DO. YOU WOULD HAVE HIT THE WALL ANY WAYS. Im not new to racing people. If that is what happen then so be it. IF BOWEN READS THESE FORUMS. STAY YOUR BUTT AT HOME ALSO. Other drivers put alot of hard earned money in there vehicles and dont have someone forking the bill. This is what going to be your 2nd clip on that car this year already. HMMMMMM says something dont it. On a good note I am glad to see the driver of the 58P doing good.

[dirtfan20]

limaland needs to take care of bowen...what post did was uncalled for...my opinion....watched limaland kick people out for lessor things? man up bob

[dcrusty]

Sorry man if I ruffled your feathers. Not my intentions for this to become a shouting match. Everyone will view what happened a different way, human nature and are entitled to their opinions. Taped what was on TV and will review. I'm just a spectator and don't know the finer details of racing. Control of your car at that speed..my opinion.. would be difficult to handle when something broke. Hopefully Post wasn't hurt.

[HillbillyHavok]

That was a wicked A main. I hope Jim P., Tim B., Cale R., Jason K. and Tony Z. from earlier in the night are all doing okay. I started towards the tail of the field and gotta say I have never been in a wilder race then that. I haven't been in a whole lot of races though either. Bill Reimund #19

[witness_23]

so what ur saying is that there should be no more slide jobs and no more bumping in racing????? Bumping is racing whatever happens on the track (malfunction of the car or not) should be left there. Come on people back in the day when racing was actual racing this sort of stuff happened all the time and once the cars left the track that night it was over. This is pathetic if someone hits u (on purpose or accident) come back and finish ahead of them the next week. Anything that happens on the track shouldnt be whined and complained about by fans on a website. As for someones personal belongings being stolen or a windshield actually being broken that should be looked into. Stuff like that is uncalled for whether or not that person just took u out.

[IN-STA-GATOR]

I have a different view. I saw THE best race I have seen in many many years. You all are forgetting the three other times when the leaders(1-4) were jockeying for lead changes then cautions would come out causing a restart. You all know when that many cars are setting them selves up to take the lead, that many times, something is going to happen, like it or not. Now for the 58 car. He got passed (whether he got knocked out of the lead or not I don't recall) and I'm sure he still wanted to win, he dove to the bott. to do a slide job that was poorly timed and you saw the end result. Now, 2 things only could of gone on, poor racing decision, or breakage. I personally could not tell if the 58 was on the gas or not. I don't believe for 1 second he would go in so deep to purposely t-bone the leader and wrecking himself to let someone else win. Racers by nature are competitive people, they are there to win. Barney or anyone else aren't thinking about letting a points man (or any one else) beat him, he (any driver) is thinking of winning, period. Vandalism should not be tolerated. I believe discussions can get heated between teams to vent their differences but vandalism or fighting is senseless. Finally, Fricke is still there? All the above, JMO!

That was back when stock cars were stock cars. and you could go to the junkyard and get the parts to fix it. now, they put more money into them and more "racing" parts that are harder to replace.

I think all of this is not what i call racing and bad sportsmanship.

If you were there you would have seen that the 58P of Post hit hard comming out of turn 2 then as he was trying to turn into theree the car would not turn. That is exactly what happened then they got back to their pit box and everything that could be thrown out of the trailer was all over the ground. Yes there were security at the 58P trailer and they had a hard time getting the car on the trailer because you could not steer the car. HE did not slam into Bowen on purpose and how many people has Bowen slamed into before. It is racing and that was an accident because something on the car broke. Bowens crew were wrong for the stuff that they did to the Post crew they need to grow up and not act like children. No one goes to their trailer and throws their stuff all over the ground.
