I can see the only thing I have succeeded in doing is inadvertently insulting several people. This was never my intention and I apologize to any persons who feel I have attacked there integrity. Again, this was not my intention at all! However let me be perfectly clear about several things that have unfortunately been misinterpreted. First off I will say that I did not call out any single individual in my previous posts. This includes any track employee, track official, driver, or fan at Highland Speedway. If I had a problem with a specific individual at the track, I would approach them face to face just as I have done in the past (i.e. promoter, official, track employee, driver, or fan). Please read this with an open mind:
Most of us know all too well that when it comes to complaining, a single voice is rarely acknowledged. One of the previous posts challenges me to stand up at a rules or driver meeting and air my complaint? I thought, as I have discussed this issue with several other drivers, that I would offer both my opinion and my suggestion and then see who responded on this board. If the general consensus is that the current system need not be improved upon, then I'm not going to bother opening my mouth at a rules meeting and not have the support of my fellow competitors. My complaint was not a selfish attempt at personal gain, but one that benefits the people who put on the show:the drivers and their crews. I am not throwing out wild, far-fetched conspiracy theories about plotting and scheming in the pit shack. I am simply saying that in my opinion the current system is not acceptable and there is good reason why. I have personally gone to draw my pill (paper matchbook?) with grease on my hands and done so unintentionally I might add. I drew a high number that nobody would want. I can promise you this, I made sure that the matchbook I drew each week after that was free of grease or any other markings. Had I been lucky enough on that night to draw a low number and get grease on that matchbook? Let's just say I would have been on the pole an awful lot after that. I am not trying to personally offend anyone. I will repeat myself and everyone who reads this post can take it for what it's worth and then move on. I simply think that there is too much effort, money, time, and emotion involved in this sport to leave the lineup in the hands of an outdated system. Thank you and good luck to all next season.
