Bottom line is Flagman has final ruling. Everyone knows the rule I dont think that is in question here. Was it right Only Doug knows what he did or didnt do out there. Was he lucky ya if there was contact. However How many times in llm has the leader been spun intentional or not and sent to the back? and how many times has a car spun out on its own and the cars avoiding or trying to kept theirs? The call was made Move on!

I didn't see the incident with the 10 car, so I won't comment on it.

Keep in mind one thing...if the starter did not see the incident, he relies on the other flagmen/officials to let them know what they saw. It may not have even been the starters own call. It could have been a corner flagman who saw it and called it as they saw it.
Now I know I'm staff and probably will get the usual about how we are all showing favourtism, but I'm just saying that many times the calls are made by others and the starter trusts what was seen by the other flagmen.

Well as far as I'm concerned let's leave it at that.

Some people agree and some don't and everybody has their own reasons and sometimes agendas to protect.

Well I'm bigger than that and have more important things to think about anyhow, like upcoming celebrations etc...

And Ashley I know which side I'm on and so does everyone else. As I recall you ran down to get a picture with the #10 after his win... And I recall you telling me "rules is rules" after Darryl got burned Sept 6... Other people saw the #10 have contact so I'm not blind, but it's pretty clear to me what's happening here. A lot of favoritism...

Yes, I will admit, I did go down to victory lane when the #10 one. But in that incident, yes there was contact but it wasn't the #10 and the #98x. #10 was behind it, drove through the grass to avoid it and didn't hit anybody. The true driver who caused the #98x to spin was the #79 of Nicole Podewils. Now, I'm a big fan of Nicole (bigger fan of her then Doug for that matter), yet she was the one who hit the #98x and had it been my call, it should've been her and the #98x to the back, not the #10 jmo

The same thing happened to us on the 6th Tex, we get dumped and had to go to the back. I dont like it, but thats the way it is
And Dave maybe your lowly Redskins might be able to squeek out a win this weekend

As for the starting crew at Sunset!! Is there anyone out there who can "do better.Maybe some people that their daddy use to flag there might remember that daddy made mistakes too. Even when he left and went elsewhere, he was not" MR PERFECT". Even as late as the last time I chatted with him, he said that it was never an easy job. People can make mistakes. Sunset is getting better and bigger in 2010. We even hear that with all the problems at other tracks how come there are a large number of drivers that are leaving to come to Sunset to race if they are so bad a starting crew???

It is the best it has been since Steve and Carol use to run the track. The Slaughter family did a great job at keeping good car counts and fan count. I would like to say to Steve, carol Slaughter, Mark Dilley , Linda and the people behind the scenes putting the money into the track,a big "Thank You" from the bottom of our hearts for heading in the right direction and the many improvements that have been done and what is about to come over the next years to come. From the RACE FANS.

I think that you will find that Dave's comment was a little "tongue in cheek". Don't worry, one day we'll have him turn from his evil ways and come back to Sunset

Dilley inherited the starters but I think they will be gone as pay back for nearly losing Sunset the franchise player Walters last year.

Morrow was a paper champion for the last two years last yr he wasn't even embarrased that he had the title handed to him, then the year before Walters ran half a season so he had no competiton. Octoberfest in Flamboro M.I.A. Fall Colors hiding in the Grandstands Mr Excitement gimme a break.

I agree with that, however you have to remember that Walters was the same "paper champion" at Barrie four years ago when he was handed the championship when John Gaunt missed a night.
