He definitely pinched down in the mud just like I thought. He did what he had to win I guess. I just hope he understands that I will do the same next time. I'll never lift for him again like I did in the heat that's for sure lol. At least I had enough respect to apologize for getting into him in the heat. I guess it don't go both ways! That's fine with me. I'llbe bback! Didn't do too bad for a car thrown together in a week with just my gf lol.

I'll be honest, I thought it was just good hard racing. I didnt see anything that night or in the video to say he ran you dirty. Just two guys racing for a win. You definetly had a fast car for just putting it together.

Isn't it ironic! I was in the 92x car chasing the T3, entered turn 1 hard, got a lil "crowded" to the bottom where the slime was and slid right up the track into him. Hell I even stalled the dam car I was on the brakes so hard! Yet I was accused of taking him out. WTH would I have gained by doing that? I guess if your out front you just cut off the faster cars then complain when contact is made. I fully understand protecting your position, but lets not bury a guy in the mud and then expect his car to stop! Any reasonable driver will tell you a lil room is at least better than no room, no room causes wrecks! 80 percent of the cautions were in 1 and 2 where the slime was. HMMMMM? Racing is just follow the leader right? Cause "he is leading ya know" Sometimes folks should really pay attention to what takes place before commenting on something they thought they may have seen. I feel your pain 13.

Team 92x

Dear team 92X... your anger is unjustified. I was there. saw you take out the T3. you weren't in no, "slime". your bumper was bent in the RF corner as it rounds to the front of the nose...meanin, you had no positioning on the track to say the T3 should have gave you room. You punted him in the LR pretty hard. Now, I don't believe you did it on purpose, but I do believe you made a bad decision to stick the car where it wasn't supposed to be. You got impatient when you had a better car. maybe if you were more patient you would have found an opening or got a better run off the corner. maybe keep the pressure on and make him mess up. instead, your lack of patience got you Black flagged. It was sad for us fans really, the two best cars were forced to go to the back when it could have been a great finish.....

- THE FANS!!!!!

PS: question for AMP....in regards to the situation above, why did the leader get sent to the back IF you black flagged the 92X?? Shouldn't he get his spot back? and/or visa versa...if the T3 goes to the back then the 92X should stay up front?? you cant send them both to the back in that situation.

I was wondering the same thing, the T3 should have went back to his spot before the rough driving. I couldn't believe they made him stay at the back!!

well it didn't look that bad ....but you could blew on a car and they would spin out .....but as soon as they touch it seemed like the t3 stood on throttle ???? just my opionion

[bobvogtjr30]

Sounds like you had a good run going, where do you usually race at? I never heard of you before lol

I personally never expected to be running that good myself lol. Considering we missed the pill draw then got stuck in traffic trying to get in after getting lost on the way there, I had just enough time to unload it and put fuel in it. For not having a single person on my pit crew or any sponsors id say it ran pretty good. This car was literally thrown together by me and just my gf, I kept waiting for something to fall off. I don't know if you could tell from the stands but the bottom of 1 and 2 had pools of water in it that would keep putting slime on the track whenever someone would get into it. IMO he came down and took my line from me making my left front hit that slop causing me to turn around. I wont say it was intentional to take me around but he definitely didn't leave me any room to get through the corner.

As far as the 92/T3 incident to me it didn't look like he did it intentionally, if he got into him I can say he didn't throttle through him, cuz I damn near ran into the back of both of them cuz they were about stopped on the track, but at the same time I can say it didn't take much to go around on that slime. It was like grease on the bottom. I was fully expecting one of them to be put back in front of me. didn't think they were both going to the back.

It was my first time in that car and I can say I am a believer in PRO 1 chassis. I didn't even scale the car yet and it handled great. I was running at DH this year but with the closing I will be traveling more this year. I spent the last few years racing at stateline/eriez in the llm division and will admit im not use to how tight and small amp was but I will say it was eventful and I will be back at some point later this year

Well lets see. We both went to the tail even after i tried to get the corner official on 4 to put him back up front, just the sport I am, but instead we both went to the tail. If it was my fault ok then he should get his spot back, just didnt seem to work out that way though. HMMMMM If the T3 would have step on the brake or at least lift off the gas when the contact was made we both would have driven out of it. Better car? I started 20th I think it was after that with five to go and finished 9th. Oh yes they had a much better car lmao. Go get a car then we can talk fella. "Opinions only matter if you give them attention" Im bored with this

Copied this from the AMP website.
Any car that stops on the track and MAKES contact with another car, regardless of how hard or how light the contact is, the driver is in the caution and must tail the field. Cautions only count against you if you cause the caution.
I'm guessing that's why they both tailed the field.

I heard you stopped and tried to have the T3 keep his spot. I thought that was a class act. Not many would do that. The best thing is to move forward. That race is over. I'm glad to see ya got that car rockin again. I knew you guys would. Dan
