    Bring him back on the 17th and find out if he is really that good? Oh and you can bet the house it will be 8 I will back you on that.Better yet on the 14th bring it to North Ga find out if just a 2 track driver? Bottom line wrong is wrong!!!! Im over it the track want have a say in the rules on the 17th.

      Its not just a Dixie/Rome deal its that way at every track or sanction I know of. Usually spoiler height is rechecked after the feature, I don't know why they didn't or don't this time at Rome...

        That my be , But it still don't make it rite...It just depends on were your at in the country , I have raced at plenty of other tracks that you were aloud to do visual protest after the race just like any other protest...But it's there ball park. You play by there rules.

When I stopped by to see what the pow-wow was about I was told Page's car was found to be running an illegal spoiler height, and a protest was trying to be issued. Rome Tech (Ernie) refused to disqualify him. Ernie was present when we all seen the spoiler height measured and it was found to be at 9". Max legal is 8" for those who do not know. When asked why Page's car wasn't going to be disqualified, Ernie replied "I'm sure I could find something illegal on the car of the ones protesting, if he looked hard enough and could disqualify them too." Exactly when did this whole local track racing deal become nothing short of "The Good Ole Boy's Club". The protest was then taken to the higher beings at Rome. They stated that they would not over rule Ernie, because it was a visual protest issue. Those type of protests are only valid if they are presented prior to the actual feature race. WTF! I see people promoting everyone to support their local track, but would you really want to support this kind of crap. The only reason I bring this issue up is because when I arrived earlier in the day and was making my way around through the pits, I heard several drivers mention that when they had teched their cars they had to lower their spoilers down to the 8 inches or not be allowed to run. If you are going to tech at the start, then you need to do everyone justice by completing the tech efforts throughout the rest of the race event. Knowing what I know now...if I were a driver, I would not be back to Rome Speedway unless it is a touring series event. Not to say the series are perfect, but at least they do adequate teching throughout the event and I would hope a protest like this would have been handled differently. Hard to believe that Page's team didn't know their spoiler was too high, since they should have been made to set it at 8 inches during the pre-race tech session. He is also a regular racer at Rome, so I know they know the rules. I guess his teams also smart enough to know that the rules only apply when the track deems it necessary or towards specific drivers!!! To Ernie and Rome Speedway grow yourself a set and have the rules apply equally to everybody! To the Page Team, Congrat's on proving that it can still pay to cheat. $2,000 worth anyway...


          I promise its not a one inch lip on a spoiler that out run your guy. Some people runn out of talent Michael Page has finally got some good equipment and he's showing what he can do. I work on that 18x everyweek and we are legal everywhere in the rule book. Denial is the first step.. acceptance is soon to come.

            shoulda seen it coming..

            Michael Page has more talent than any driver out there... those big expensive motors can't drive a car for you. I can assure the spoiler has been like that all year. There are few drivers out there that are born to do what they do and some just wish they could. Michael is committed to run dixie and rome this year for points so you'll have another chance to race him but you better not wreck him.

              Just because its been that way all year doesn't make it legal. This coming week will tell the tale, if that spoiler isn't fixed be prepared to do some trimming.

                  I'M wondering what drivers you think Michael Page can't compete with? All the knowles were there @ Rome The best from Dixie were there! Clanton& Clint can probably beat him, but I think Clanton would have to have a "blocker" or wreck him to beat him!!!! I'M sorry That when I stick up for someone its like the "Kiss of Death" but we all know the pages have a way of dealing with "dirty" driving,& I'M bettin if someone takes Michael out, People,including myself,will have him what he needs to comtinue towards his goal!!!!

                      so clanton would have to wreck this guy to beat him(really). man you are ignorant as hell and bet this mike page wishes you would shut the f//;/k up about him, cause the poeple that actually liked him before this most likely dont now and the ones that dont know him will never like him because of you.

                        Well since Ronnie Dobbins came on board with michael this year we see shane like a "team mate" and we raced against him earlier this year... was running him down with two laps to go michael was black flagged when the plug came out of the rear end and lost all the dope. Y'all should educate yourself before you put yourself out like a bunch of fools. Michael Page is a class act, he races cleaner than anyone, he wins with pride, and he loses wiith pride. We hate that there are some sore losers out there that want to take away his success but he has earned everything he's got and y'all ain't seen nothing yet.
