Stovall and Erb Jr.

[chupp n bloomer fan]

Not making any excuses for the on track extra curricular activities. I don't agree with it as well. Have not watched the vid yet. I was making reference to moving over for someone. They're all out there racing for position. Who wants to be lapped? Now with 2 lapps to go, that might be different.

I agree, and really, I had no issue whatsoever with what happened to Stovall. He was taking a chance, and it bit him in the a$$. But for Erb to retaliate at the end over a racing deal, I've already stated my peace a few times on that.

Some of you are missing the point. It's common courtesy that if you're running the hub through the corners, you don't run the wall on the straights unless you know for a fact your are in the clear. It causes all kinds of problems. Many of which are going to get you turned around. I like Erb for a bunch of reasons but he does run that line and it isn't cool unless you know you're out front...and clearly he wasn't. As someone else stated, this is nothing new. He's run that line for years.

Are you from Illinois? If you are, you have seen Erb race more than I. And I can tell you, from the times I've seen him in person, and on DoD, him and Jackie Boggs got about the widest cars out there. If you can't figure out what that means because you wanna be literal, then so be it. But I know you know what it means. No you don't put a blinker on, and Stovall overdrove his entry. But there was no reason for Erb to take him out at the end. Stovall had already ruined his night not showing patience with a LAPPED car, for Erb to play games at the end of the race, guess I just think it was ridiculous.

On a track the size of Wheatland, you say Erb used the whole track?That's a good one. I thought the object of racing was to go faster than the guy in front of you. Not use your blinker and move out of the way for Jimmy Joe. I don't buy that get out of the way stuff. If you're lapping someone, you must be faster. Figure out a way. The good ones do.

It is as simple as this. When getting lapped, it is common courtesy to hold your line. Not stop or let them pass, just stay in one line or the other. Erb likes the high line in the straights and the low line in the corners. This is not illegal, but comes with consequences. It has nothing to do with patience because Erb has run that line for 20 years. He is not going to stop on the next lap. The consequences come as the leader tries to get around them. This is nothing new. Last Friday Pierce ruffed him up , while lapping him. About everybody that has lapped him hasn't done it clean.

Chupp - I can't disagree, prefer to get that payback when not a lapped car - but had he not got slammed, he might have still been on the lead lap? I'm just not used to seeing Erb retaliate. Might be I've missed a few.

And the track was fine, and the racing was pretty good - just seemed like everyone was with in a couple tenths of each other at that point and no one could really clear anyone.

Also, it was stated by Stovall I believe, that he has had an altercation with Erb Jr there before.

[chupp n bloomer fan]

Look to me Stovall body slammed Erb and Erb didn't like it and paid him back. Nothing many others haven't done. Maybe Stovall needs to learn a little patience in that situation.

Could you imagine if that was Pierce who had done that

Yes I can.

I guess you're werent watching! Nothing wrong with the racetrack, at all!

They all ran too soft of fronts that caused their cars to get too tight, ie couldn't steer as well.

I thought I said I didn't see it?

[Illtsate32]

He got into him for sure but I didnt think it was that bad especially battling for the lead ur gonna get run over in that situation every time...

[intel8]

Stovall was going for it, Erb was all over the track, Erb could of given room on the outside as he was going nowhere. Track was as good as you can ask for.

Seems to me, if you had a better racing surface you would not have such a hard time passing lapped cars???? Maybe we should be mad at tracks for not having a raceable surface??? Guess that would be using to much common sense to see the real problem????? I didn't see this race so maybe there was another reason to not be able to get around????

Being hard to pass is good. Being hard to lap is an entirely different thing.

Correct, to an extent, you hold someone up too long, things probably going to get dicey.
