That was a gift... Josh crashed with a lapped car and Miley got the shaft on that restart, what the hell was the flagman doing? He turned off the caution lights while they were still single file, he just stood there with no flag while Gregg starts the race then he parks it in the middle of the front straight...what a joke ppms is...

Miley should never have been there .. he was sent to the rear.. then mysteriously was sent to the front . I just thought Did they really just do that ?
Nice win for Saterlee!

Regardless of who was at fault, once the decision was made to send Jared to the tail, he should have stayed there. It actually deprived the fans of some even better racing, since there would have been two good cars coming from the back.

Flash I cant beleive my eyes !!! Are you actually being critical of a rediculously biased Miley decision ??

There's a lot of silly criticism of the Mileys on this board, but what's right is right.

Congrats to Satterlee, he earned it. Richards incident was racing, and that is how winning goes some time. Luck, and Satterlee had it last night. Miley.....well the incidents with Barbera and Satterlee said enough, another reason for the track NOT to have any vested or unvested interest in any car running at a track you run. The few fans you had in the stands really got what Mileys is all about. BS Hats off to Covert for coming from the rear several times, same way wth Barbera(sp) coming from the rear. Really disappointed in the way things were handled this year. Why not just have a Miley Family Race with Ben and Jared, that way no one gets any favoritism. LOL! Never have been critical of any track because I do respect what they do each week, but last night was way out of line. Good runs also by Norris, Geisler, Baker. Ha, my last post mentioned to not count these guys out?! Also that they would get 30-40 cars! Maybe I do know a little something! LOL

Is PPMS starting to remind me of the Obama administration or am I missing something?

Burgoon clearly spun Dennis lunger out in the b main, he didn't get sent to the tail but nobody mentions that, i highly doubt Miley did it intentionally, i've seen Barbara run Jared dirty on a number of occasions but Jared don't retaliate , that deal there was just hard racing, Barbara chopped him and went in too slow, if anything Jared owed him one... I kinda wish they did send him to the tail though just because he wouldn't have gotten wrecked on that flagman error restart and there was still plenty of laps for him to come back through there and win the race anyway.... Barbara should of been sent to the pits for running into Miley under caution, that is supposed to be an automatic dq.. Nobody on the ppms staff was doing there job all the way around for this race, drivers were saying there was no communication on there receivers either...

Keith shoulda just came in the pits then drive right into miley while under caution! It was a bullshit call and everyone knows it was! All you had to do was listen to was the fans!

Thank you everbody for all the input this past week yinz saved me an ass load of $$ by not going to the pittsburgher...by reading all your posts i can clearly visualize how the race went....so out of the 4 classes which one was the most exciting??....excluding yg & hobby

[smokin66]

I already had my rant on here the other day so Ill just say it was my least favorite pittsburgher. Several things could have been handled differently thoughtout the entire planning and execution of the event. I wouldnt want to be the one who has to plan and organize a show like that because im sure its not easy. Maybe they need to bring in some more help on those things. Gary Smith

Actually, the racing in all classes (except the Sprints) after the sun went down was very good, it's the sideshow that's disconcerting. By the way, hats off to Brian and the track crew who provided a very racy surface after a long day of racing.

Did Lynch have the throttle stop on.....or substitute driver...or half asleep since the sprint are not usually near the end of the show.....slowest I ever seen him at PPMS.....Maybe he didnt feel right beating up on 10 cars.... I was looking at the lights and said to the person next to me man they arent even side by side and the lights are out they must be in a hurray to get the show in....and then they start and all hell breaks loose....wow.... Did anyone come out and state that the single file restart was a screw up......because that would be the only way greg 22 would of got his spot back because he was stopped on the track as well and if stopped on the track/ bring out the yellow you go to the rear... Great Job to all drivers cause that track was dusty at the starts .... Kyle nice job winning the Crate Race.......That sure was a lot of yellows / restarts..

The green flag was never waived, don't know who screwed up but the flagman had the yellow flag in his hand and clearly didn't intend to start the race.

That restart was right after Greg quit and Smokey took over. I'm sure it was tough for Smokey to step into the race director position mid-race and I'm sure that had something to do with the confusion.

Plus the fact that Satterlee was light in his heat race and the feature by 20 lbs. further taints the race. Dave Hess should have been pissed. So the rules are to be somewhere near 2200 lbs? Where do they draw the line before they DQ the guy? 40 lbs. light? 100 lbs. light? This is why the "names" don't go to unsanctioned races like this anymore. They don't have to deal with the lack of enforcement of the rules, the favoritism, or the overall cluster that the event was this past weekend.

While your talking about rules what about the massively illegal right side on josh richards car ?? Theres 4 seperate rules in the book preventing a side from being shaped in such a way, they didnt dare come to eldora with that bullshit but they knew anything goes at pittsburgh ... as long as they like you !!

Maybe they changed the rule to allow 1lb per lap fuel burn off. with all the other rule changes maybe everyone missed it or they forgot about it til after the race. Maybe satterlee is related lol.

I noticed that from the stands both the LS and RS were flared out, a few other guys had that qtr panel look going (Jared's was also looking like that) I just figured that was the new ROCKET body style.......great concept for a little extra downforce......

If you go to a WOO race are all the bodies looking like that now??
