Good job Mark! I don't think its necessary....we all know that's an unwritten rule in dlm racing!

Ole man still has a little fire in his belly! I like it!

So you are not allowed to cover suspension parts, and last I checked its not against the law to look (use your eyes) its not like he put his hands on the car, Richards was out of line...by all means say something if you like but dont put your hands on somebody...and it was a very light shove its not like he tried pushing him down...but still wrong..

[NormP]

No no no!! It's ok to shove people! It's actually expected!! Just ask the Rocket nut huggers around here! They will be furious Mr. Richards actually acted like a man and issued an apology afterwards.

God forbid you step in front of the guy to block his view and politely tell him to mind his own business!! We can't have gentlemen in this sport, that just won't do!

All joking aside, it's very commendable of Mr. Richards to man up, apologize, and admit he over-reacted. Lots of other people would have simply waited for the incident to be forgotten.

I'm sorry, but he deserved a healthy shove right back, fuk him.

I'm a huge Josh Richards fan, but as you can see, that move was BS by Mark.

But he apologized, and I commend him for that. He manned up and admitted he fuked up.

Looking under somebodys car is a touchy subject with me.I don't blame him for the way he reacted.

I'll second this. Unless you're with a team, you don't belong that close to any car in the hot pit area. Most folks dislike Mark anyway so the comments don't surprise me.

You can't call Rocket tomorrow and get the details of that setup to the letter and number?

Why should you have anything to hide if you are selling the same exact thing to the public?

I think he was hiding it from a chassis competitor (longhorn)!

[MasterSbilt_Racer]

I know for a fact he does.

So just because I sell a product to Joe Blow who I also compete with, that means I can't be running something other than what I've given them? And vice versa. You are still out to compete, test, and win. Long as your customers are happy and running well, then work on new things and keep some stuff under the vest.

When Rockets weren't good a couple years back, no one cared what they had, now, they all do.

[Josh Bayko]

Telling customers exactly what's under Richards' or Sheppards' cars isn't necessarily going to work for anybody else. The key to winning setups is tailoring your setups to the driver's driving style. Not everybody drives like Josh or Brandon.

[a25rjr]

And Bshepp wins another one!

The other guy was with a team. It said so in the press release.

Most folks dislike mark anyways???

Wonder why that is?
