Round 8 - MotoAmerica at the Brickyard

I'm sorry you do not have a proper appreciation for pie crust.

 

annnnnnd, I'm sorry you're an ass.

 

Not saying we don't. But if a doc walked over and said "hey man have a sit while I check you out," I can confirm I'd rather plop my ass back in the grass than try to crumple myself up in a camaro. Maybe Scholtz wanted to sit in the Camaro. I don't know. But considering the numerous fuck ups by the shot callers over the weekend, naturally I (and it seems many others) assume that this was just another one of those fuck ups.

 

Nope, don't think I read Melka's post. Long thread. Just skimmed to catch up.

Jr. Cup rider laid next to the track for a whole lap before red flag. Entire grid either crashes or damn takes a trip to the moon in the same spot right after rider went down there lap before. Rider then lays motionless next to hot track for a bit. Still takes almost a full lap to throw the red. Wyman's bike laying in the track. No one even attempts to move it and takes almost a full lap for red flag. Toni's bike goes down and starts dumping oil that then tries to run down the grade of the track to the racing line. Toni is jumping up and down pointing and telling them to forget the bike and stop the oil flow. No one listens (and eventually another dude runs over with quick dry). Yes, lots of fuck ups.

 

I don't know if I can agree with calling it a fuck up.

Going back to my first post, I think the biggest problem is the optics. It just doesn't look good. Like I mentioned before, on ground info may have led to that decision, but my actions would have been different than deciding to have him sit in the car, based on the impact from being hit by another rider's motorcycle. On the ground would have been my decision. That's just based on my personal training and experiences, and seeing how underlying injuries can be made worse.

On the optics piece it's like having to stay at work late, finishing quicker than you thought and grabbing a bite to eat on the way home. Just so happens the hottie from work is there and stops to say hello. Wife runs out for food and sees you at the restaurant with the hottie from the office when you said you were working late. Facts on the ground say one thing, but the optics dont look good.

 

that wasn't toni, that was the canadian #66

 

The first workers there had no oil dry, as I would imagine not every corner worker get allocated a personal bucket of the stuff. What were they supposed to do, since the guy with the oil dry was already on his way, lap it up with their tongues? You first.

 

Now you know how we feel about you some days.

 

Come on, he only had a severed tendon and broken ankle..... doc x rayed him on the way to the camaro, knew it was ok...

 

Okay, I laughed.

 

Jesus man, are you always wound so tight? Or only when an opinion is different than yours? I like to have a healthy debate with someone who has different views than me on just about anything, but that changes when expressing your opinions devolves into childish name calling. Then the conversation is no longer enjoyable and communication disappears.

If unclear on how optics can look different than the facts on the ground, re-read my last post as a random example. If still unclear...IDK what to tell you.

I don't want to seem like I'm just in order to so I think I'm done posting on this one. My thoughts are pretty well layed out in my posts.

 

oh my god! ! ... back from dirt bikin, and see that this Scholtz thing is still going.
