c n b fan, I am not comparing anything about the two incidents..The mods take down anything negative toward Richards in record time,but someone else can be called an IDIOT over and over again and it stays up.That is the point I was trying to make.Sorry if I confused you.Idiotic move by Schulte under caution,but if you rough me up passing me like that whether it's on a bullring or half mile,I'm turning you around as soon as I get the chance.
He didn't rough him up lol. He got under him fair n square and the guy tried everything he could to run him off the track. And when that wasn't successful, he punted him and crapped his brains out. And he was an idiot, so he deserves it over and over. Richards pulled a dirty racing move, nothing about this was racing, it was idiotic. Do I agree they censor others more, of course, they give this site money.
Wasn't confused, you made an analogy that wasn't very good, but you cleared it up.

Sadly, suspensions or post-bannings couldn't have saved two tracks in western Pa. when two separate incidents of this unthinkable nature took place, similarly. Luckily, Highland is in the position to administer possible prevention -- and without much consequence.
It just sucks some of these occurrences fall under the 'too late' category. I'm sure no driver lines up thinking "I'll be the guy that gets this place closed for good." I would have never thought I'd live to see two tracks have this outcome, either.
You are right. Challenger had a no-tolerance policy for this. Drivers were DQ'd for barely bumping each other under caution when they were upset. And what happened there still happened. It is a shame that the one that ended up closing Challenger did not go to jail for a period of time. That would have set precedence. If you would ram a car on the street and hit a bystander, you would go to jail. I don't know why some drivers think it is ok on a race track under non-racing conditions?! The jury in the Challenger case was WRONG!
I agree that the #27 should be punished severely, but the #18 should be punished also for getting out of the car. Even so, if I were in the #27 car I would've punted the #18 too, he was racing like a joker, the way he roughed his way in between the #27 car and the tires was unforgivable. Some retaliation was needed just not to that extent.

This is not an over 1 night it has built up over 4 years dauderman like rooting on people on the bottom to get by he had schultes back tires off the ground at Belleville a month ago what mike did was totally wrong but dauderman didnt want mike to get out of the car either he would have got his ass kicked I assure you of that.
Aggravated assault and battery with a motor vehicle, a class 4 felony is what they charge you with if you did that on a street in Illinois but on a race track there it's called being a passionate racer. What a state!
It's only aggravated assault if the vehicle actually strikes somebody (thank God it didn't). But there is enough evidence there for a pretty solid charge of wanton endangerment or whatever they call it in Illinois when you knowingly and purposefully put the safety of people around you in imminent danger.
It's no different than walking into the grocery store and shooting a gun aimlessly and NOT hitting anyone. It's a crime and he should be charged so that a jury can sort it out.
HP...thanks for clearing that up. I'm pretty sure in Indiana you actually have to strike someone for it to be assault and then "vehicular assault" falls under the "aggravated assault" along with any other assault with a weapon. Regardless, we agree this guy needs to be charged with something. How it's worded is of no consequence to me.
Taking a swing at somebody and pushing an out of control car around innocent bystanders are two very different things in my opinion. With the latter being much more irresponsible and reckless.
Ive been to this place once back in the 90's. Its "hillbilly factor" was low. The people running the place were nice ands its clean for an old fairgrounds type joint. Obviously somebody needs some anger management appointments. I race and i know the intensity level can get high. Ive been guilty of a good temper release myself, but holy crap, hes lucky he didnt really hurt someone. He needs a time out for a couple years. Totally out of bounds.
Even so, if I were in the #27 car I would've punted the #18 too, he was racing like a joker, the way he roughed his way in between the #27 car and the tires was unforgivable.
and with that mindset, if you raced a late model, you'd be a back marker

They don't always work. Like I have stated before. My anger management classes P I S S me off.

Exactly. Small track like that, that 18 didn't do a dam thing wrong. He was under the guy, he has the line, don't try and run him into the uke tires etc. If you don't like how he passed you, pass him the same way back if you're fast enough. Not completely sh!t your brains out.
