Chris Ferguson DQed

Sounds like a good case of splitting hairs. Common sense would indicate the tire was not different enough from the legal
tire to create an advantage. Sounds like the winner got the shaft and not the gold mine.

My common sense tells me if that was an economy tire carcass, it's a pretty big advantage. We don't know the story.

Any rule can be enforced before or after the race.

They confirmed he was legal before the race. It's 100% impossible for him to be illegal after the race unless he was tire doping, which he was not.

Well if you told them they were legal and now you tell them they are illegal because somebody working for you made a mistake what you should of done is just let it go and tell the person that made the mistake what he did wrong were it don't happen again

What are you taking as confirmation? A phone call? The fact the tech guy didn't tell him he was illegal before the race? Just because an illegal part made it thru tech last week, year, day or hour, it isn't legal going forward.

I'm no Kelly fan, but he seems to be getting a raw deal in the absence of public facts.

I’m fans of them both…..this is painful to see, I hope they work it out.

[TerryM]

I’m a fan of one and friends with the other. Neither have done anything wrong. That’s fact.

I'm not picking a side but I do agree with that. It's so easy to run to facebook and let the whole world know. It's kind of embarrassing really, yet a lot of racers do it.

I meant on the front end, when he said he called to see if the tire would be ok. He should have handled that at least in a follow up email, just to confirm the tire, and if it would be allowed.
Then, if he gets a yes, there's not any he said, he said.

Personally the biggest problem is when the phone call was made to Chris's dad. It was agreed they would discuss the issue after the north/south race. At the end of the Facebook rant it was signed with the initials CFM . So was it Chris ? his dad ? or someone else that posted the rant.

There is 2 sides to every story and so far we have only heard from 1 source and 36 previous threads on people making comments when the have no facts whatsoever from either side. Lester has not made any public comment that I am aware of, other than he must know something that no one else does.

My opinion, whomever posted the initial rant may be trying to get support from outside influence and that was very unprofessional. We got screwed and I want everyone to know about it. If you didn't think that person knew it would be commented on over and over. Well then you must be a Democrat, ( sarcasm )

The offer to discuss the situation post North/South was not brought up until the post was circulating facebook and people were blowing up Ultimate's page. Ultimate had to lock down their page and put that statement out. The original rant was posted in response to DoD putting their press release out.

Fergy basically got taken to the woodshed for cherry pickin. That’s my final answer.

[Pennsboro32]

There were no cherries to be picked at VMS.

[Rajflyboy]

Satterlee and Zack Mitchell were the biggest competitors. Yep I’d say it was cherry pickin at its finest (and I have no issues with it)

☝️☝️ you were booger picking while posting that comment
