I wasn't there but it has been alleged that Ed Lynch Sr. took a swing at Smokey Schempp during the argument over everything that happened that night. I was told by somebody who shall remain nameless that Ed got a raw deal that night, and everybody who knows the Lynches knows that they tend to get hot as hell in a hell of a hurry if you screw them over and refuse to make it right. Understandable that there was a suspension if Senior did what they said, but if WRG gave a shit about their bottom line they would have swallowed their pride and only suspended Ed Sr., not the whole damn team.

Someone took a swing at Smokey and got suspended?! My gosh he should get a medal, two if he connected.

So why is he suspended?

I'd pay $20 in hopes to see him get double hooked into the pits.

Isnt this the same kid that took out like 5 other drivers this year also?

Yea, he's done it several times this year. And there is really no need cause he is flat out faster than everyone else out there.

Well, I see where you're coming from, but it's worked at Lernerville for 45 summers, and the teams know the drill.

Here's the other issue. On Fridays, most people, including driver's, track workers and crew members have already worked an 8+ hour day, and many have to work Saturday. It's a lot to ask these folks to compete and staff an event for 5, 6 or more hours, with some of those same teams wanting to race Saturday night. It's a short attention span era. I'm a hardcore fan, but I tend to get restless at tracks that screw around with constant grooming (other than trying to run a track in because of a rain delay), intermissions, clearing accidents or lining up cars. They've already got my money. Is it too much to ask to move the show along in a timely manner? I will put up with it to an extent, but it's tough to convince newbies that are starting to think they'd rather be sitting at a bar, movie theater or casino, that it will get better. And those are the people these tracks need to attract and keep if they want to stay profitable and therefore, open.

Well, in todays time it is hard to attract new fans with so many other outlets to have fun. The firecracker moved well with a delay, although they could have done a better job of clearing the dirt mounds outside of turns 3 and 4. I just think rushing the racers in the pits is a bad thing to do.
