paging Mark Schnettler

[stumpy]

 This IS racing and things like this are gonna happen, AM or EX. We all know things like this are gonna happen, Who wants to crash? Obviosly it was a huge accident. If you are really worried about it, do track days, But it could happen there too.

My .10 cents

the tracks 45 feet wide !!  You can take 2 or 3 lines through there easily !  

Shit happens sometimes,  I understand your trying to figure out why you crashed.  But if its, you got hit, then you got hit !  Learn to go faster and you wont have to worry about getting hit !

Sometimes raceing is like 8 year olds play soccer !  You all stay in a group


Just currious what position were you guys in when you all went down ?

I came in a dismal 9th place, and they where working thier way around me I believe.    :-/

ok, im going to be a little blunt here. i realize that crashes happen, for that matter, shit happens period! I am not trying to act like mark is a bad guy and thats why i would rather talk to him one on one. when others are allowed to get involved with the conversation thats when they turn to crap. im sure most people after they crash would like to talk to others involved.

as far as track days go i am not going to quit racing. racing is a part of my lifestyle, not a hobby. i try to respect others that race because for the most part we are all good people.

as far as "go faster and you wont get hit," i was passing everyone through that corner, i still got hit. its racing, even top guys crash each other out. i was turning some of the faster am 600 times so that really doesnt apply.

as far as placing, i had the front runners in sight and was gaining. does that matter, not really.

i dont want mark or myself to get a black eye from this, i just want to talk to him about what happened.

and yes crashing happens, gathering facts and being more educated CAN help prevent similar occurances.

i am sorry if all of you want to interprit this in a manner that it is not meant.

Whatever happened to the common courtesy of apologizing to the rider you ran into? You don't have to be an expert to do that. Accidents happen, but apologizing for causing it makes it a little easier to take for the riders that you took out! >:(

hey hdpromos, just to let you know, he said he was sorry right after it happened when he had told me someone elbowed him into me. i told him "thats racing, and i was allright" frankly i am not going to dwell on it any longer, from the people and pics i can see what happened. besides, seems like most of these guys want to get something started, or say that i am an out of control racer so i will take my butt back to wera.

[hdpromos]

Well then, he did the right thing. Don't let someone else make anymore out of it. These things happen and it's not limited to CCS or WERA.
