So I guess the sit down to pee types cry over the pro boxer who retires with brains mashed up and cant speak or the bull rider who gets tossed and has the bone sticking out of his leg? Because thats what the decided to do with there life...I just dont see it.

These guys put themselves out there on there own accord, it makes them money and the people who promote it, thats why we dont see bracket racing on prime time, I enjoy it as much as the next guy but you dont see the stands packed with fans.

I think many forget times like pre 1980 for instance when most racers of all kinds were really roughnecks, not the toter home driving trendy cloths wearing types that many are today. Do you think some of them really gave a rats azz when a competitor crashed, as well as do you think some of these nascar guys who wreck a co racer into the wall think "Oh, im sorry, I didnt mean for them to crash them and there 150k car and take them out of the points race".

How many of us have crashed there cars or tossed a motor without a press release or thousands of well wishes and just suck it up and drive on?

Hippocrates I say, folks on here will dog the street racer to hell but yet go out and go 7k test hits through the gears, but thats ok. Because its not actual racing if you dont take off at the same guy next to you at the stop light, oh dang thats bracket racing, my bad.

SO everyone here is lilly white, never speeds, has a perfect credit score, never had one too many beers or hit a joint, never cracks there kid when they needed it.

So if some, like I do find it hard to say, oh poor fella wadded up his car trying to put himself more in the spotlight....well thats just how it is.

Sorry if I typed this wrong but im waiting for my freshly painted nails to dry.

This crap is as funny as it gets.

IT IS A TELEVISION SHOW FOR CHRIST SAKE!




Ray

lol....it's on TV...it's got cars...I'm watching it.

I feel horrible for ANYONE who crashes their hard work and life savings...reality TV star or not. I think they have made an attempt to pull most of the "illegal street racing" emphasis out of the show...which I commend.

Yes, a little different than when it first aired.

This is stupid, people look way too deep into things, but I would ask, where were all the bleeding hearts at when not so long ago a mopar racer crashed his car and had a go fund me page to fix it and wow did the folks here step up and donate...NOT.

They told him he wasnt special and to sit out and fix his ride on his own dime.

The duplicity here is pathetic.

Its really ironic, I spend at least 5 hours a day watching over a stroke patient, who clearly deserves understanding and sympathy, but again, some hero who knows the risks when they get in the car like we all do...why?


Im done beating this horse, its pointless.

He covered it on the podcast. He was nervous about returning to the list in the Crowmod after the wreck.
He was pissed that Doc wasn't representing the #1 spot well. He said if Doc would have said he wasn't comfortable making a pass in his brand new car on the road, he would have been fine with it. Doc also had the chance to run BEFORE the road was oiled down, and would have avoided the whole mess. He thought losing 2 spots from the trailer was ridiculous if he was #1. He said if Doc would have come out later and called out Shawn or Dave after they started racing again and the road got good (which they said it was once some rubber got down), that would have been fine, too.
I guess the biggest thing that pissed him off was that he was bending over with a broken back cleaning the road while Doc and Monza (Goad left for the night after doing the most damage)stood around and laughed about how they were wasting their time because noone was going to run it, anyway.
With all that wrapped into one, I can imagine being upset.

I cleaned the thread up a bit. And as far as the guy that came on here and tried to solicit funds cause his car got wrecked on the track his father runs a large Mopar oriented shop so begging for money on Moparts ain't gonna fly. I commend you for watcing over a stroke patient. I have laid in the ICU for six days and have had two neurosurgery treatments plus a radiation treatment. We are still paying hospital bills and I can't drive my drag car yet. But I don't want sympathy or anything else from you. We break cars. We fix cars. Pretty simple isn't it.

Anyone who has ever wadded up a $200,000.00 race car gets it. It's the money and the unbelievable effort required to do another one. It's dangerous. Everyone knows this but nobody expects to crash.

Ive crashed a car that burned to the ground that I had 70k in and 3 years to build it, burned both hands, forehead, as well as it started to melt the plastic lenses of my glasses.

When tractor pulling ive jacked new 8.3 litre aries hemis as well as billet cylinder heads that took years to make on a inline six tractor.

Not what I had planned but at the same time, looking back its not the end of the world and a heck of a rush.

Look at leno-s reply and attitude after he got out of the rolled hemi under glass, anytime you can go through some crap and live, its a good day.

^^^^None of that means squat. Yes stuff happens and yes, we sometimes likely bring it on ourselves...BUT that doesn't mean I don't feel bad when a person tears up their stuff, because I do. I know how hard I have to work for it and likely so do they. So yeah........they crash, I feel bad for them. You don't, that's fine as well
