Emotions are running pretty high right now on a few things there, but in talking with Tim a few minutes ago, he would just as soon see this topic.... off topic. That is probably the right thing, I must agree.

I have raced with both these guys before, both are good people, stuff happens and emotions run high, this is really something that needs worked out between the both of them and it eventually will all work out. Turning it into a debate on a message board never has a good result. Bob

No! Let's not change the subject. Let's talk about Pro Stock drivers who think and act like they are damn World of Outlaw drivers. It's a support division for God sakes.

Its just All end of the year Bull $hit. Whats wrong with being a WoO driver. They happen to be some of the best. Stocks have some of the best racing of the nite. Tell you what looks like a support class is the Big Blocks and the Crates.

1. Sue Honey will chew your @ss for ripping the modifieds.
2. The crates are a support class.

If at first you don't succeed, then maybe you just suck.

If racing is to survive, (which right now I'm not sure it will anymore) the support divisions must survive.

Yes! Support divisions MUST survive however the point of my thread is that some of the drivers in those divisions act like they're the hottest thing to ever race on dirt. Over inflated ego's off the track lead to over inflated ego's on the track. And when that happens, wrecks happen. You are who you are and a support division is a support division.

The "support" divisions should have always had "support" division rules, and maybe a lot of this could have been avoided, everywhere. The teams who consistently run near the front today have put a ton of money into their equipment, and get a little chapped when their car gets beat on. It wasn't all that long ago that the money they spend on their cars could've easily funded a higher divison team. Now, $15-20,000 engines, flyweight frames and bolt-on parts, aftermarket sheet metal etc. are the norm. Look how waaayyyy out of hand the e-mods are for example. "E" stood for economy, but not anymore. It is both the competitor and rule makers who are at fault. But back to the original point, when your expensive car, no matter what the division, gets torn up needlessly, you get upset. A lot of these guys financially, can go no further than where they are. This is their Cup car, whether it is or isn't in other people's minds. Sadly there are cars in the support divisions though, that have no regard for their fellow racer, and can spend a ton, and have no problem tearing up other equipment, and no problem fixing their own because of it.

Mr. signman, those are all excellent points and they're the truth as well. I guess what I am hoping for is just impossible. Humility and humbleness are lost in society and especially in the pits at local tracks. Don't get me wrong, there are drivers left that are humble and show humility but it's waning. People forget where they come from. They win a few races and all of a sudden they're the greatest thing on dirt. Blah blah blah. They forget their first few years. They forget all of their learning experiences. They talk down to the new guy like he's just in their way. There's a responsibility that comes with success but some of these guys just don't get it.

Agreed, I just make it a point to avoid those individuals. For the most part, I have always been associated with drivers who know how to treat fans as well as their fellow competitors. I guess it was because as a kid I drew close to the ones who treated this little snot nosed kid like he was one of theirs. I never forgot that, and it infuriates me when I see so much disrespect going on at the tracks anymore.

I agree 100% if they are as good as they think they are they should move up to superlates .
