Title: Heartland Park August,2003
Post by: jeanmarie717 on February 03, 2004, 05:29:07 PM
I was not impressed with this track or the crew (cornerworkes).  Does anyone recall that racer who hit the wall coming out of the back straight and laid in the fire for almost 2 laps before any one got to him?  That was insane!!

Many people remember Arthur Wagner and many prayers were said for him.  

I agree, this incident could be handled better.  HOWEVER, the corner workers are out there for our benefit and I appreciate every single one of them.

We participate in a dangerous sport.  Serious injury and death can happen at anytime.  It is a risk we take.

It might be helpful if you knew even 10% of the facts surrounding that incident before making such a broad condemnation.  Statements such as yours serve no useful purpose other than to spread false rumors.

I was there. I know the cornerworkers involved, and the external circumstances that hampered the handling of the situation.

As Dawn said, this is a dangerous sport.

 IF I AM WRONG THEN I AM SORRY AND BY NO MEANS WOULD I WANT TO SPREAD FALSE RUMORS.  

 TO CLEAR UP MY FALSE STATEMENT, PERHAPS YOU COULD FILL ME IN ON THE FACTS AND THE EXTERNAL CIRCUMSTANCES OF THAT SITUATION.  THANKS
