So where's the Danny Eslick thread?

i'm not quoting the cosby meme. but holy f*@k, the multiple levels of irony there...

 

He was a lot funnier before i knew he was a rapist.

 

I met him once and he gave me an autograph. He's really a good guy.

 

Okay, so he’s guilty now just because you said so? Judge, jury, and executioner. You never cease to amaze me. I expect you to now tell me how wrong I am and how right you are yet you know no details and I actually might. As Britt posited, SMH. Ignorance is apparently bliss. Enjoy it.

 

For a rapist..

 

A lot of talent gone to waste. It's a shame. Alcohol obviously is the common denominator. Until he gets on the program and gets sober, his problems wont stop.

 

At that point you might as well have kicked their asses.

 

Ricky Graham comes to mind. A truly top shelf racer who damaged a whole lot of relationships due to the inability to effectively metabolize ethanol. Then, once he got clean, and focused, came back to win a dirttrack championship no one thought he'd be competitive in again.

 

I love watching this dude ride, same vibes as I get from Iannone though, and for totally different reasons, but end result the same, not knowing either of them and just watching them for years. i don't wanna say wasted talent, cause he's not over the hill yet, but time IS finite in this game, gotta maximize as much of it as you can if you wanna be a racer i guess. definitely just flat out RAW talent tho that's (obviously) not being fully capitalized on. i loved watching this dude ride not only cause of style on the bike, but i saw a lot of him in his attitude that i saw in my group of friends i was rolling around with more 8 or so years ago... lot of similarities there, and we were like, "yo this dude is awesome, love this dude." and well, you see how that goes. some make it out of a phase of being a wild maniac party guy, some it becomes more of a problem than a fun time at some point. we lost one of ours to his demons... others grew up and eventually had kids and found steady careers and calmed down, got families, taking it easy a little more... its hard to say how that's ever gonna go until it does. certainly are a bunch of forks in the road where its easy to get off the ride before things get too heavy in most cases, but hey... dunno the dude so no idea how that individual journey's been going for him.

i tried to find the post race interview were he wanted to fight somebody's dad... Herrin? cause this thread made me think of it, then laugh about it a little to myself... but its either gone or buried in youtube and i give up. anyways... hopefully dude can work himself out here one way or another and get back to utilizing his potential. this thread also made me wonder what Martin Cardenas is up to? dude was a monster then just disappeared. oh well...

 

Iirc Martin had a serious accident.

 

No, I got it.

 

Herrin's dad was giving him a ration of shit in the winners enclosure, and made some kind of threat. He was upset at Danny for how he was racing with Josh that day. All I recall Danny saying was "Bring it bitch", but it was around a live mike for the broadcast.

 

So we’ve suspended the ass raping for now?

So he got drunk and got crazy and caught a case. I hope that whatever consequences Danny faces will make him finally address his problem. Getting off relatively light before obviously didn’t help him.

 

Yeah, that was at VIR IIRC. Phil instigated that incident. I don’t fault Eslick one bit for his response. This one is on Phil.

 

Until right about 9 years ago, my cousin had a long and storied history of getting off light. Then he fucked up one too many times and caught a helluva case and hung himself on his 43rd birthday. Kid had real potential to be a welterweight boxing world contender but couldn't leave the drugs alone.

Waste.

 

In my (limited) experience as an official, Josh was always great to deal with. His dad, not so much.
