Quote from Jon Ripperda's facebook page

In my opinion threatening a group of guys is not good karma lol and its just racing
 
Equating rough driving(intentionally causing an accident or anther car to wreck) with stupid or rather unskillful driving(taking the wrong line, bobbling etc) is completely incorrect. Think of 3 possible scenarios: Go out attempting to wreck one of your "targets" yet fail and end up wrecking self(most likely), who's to blame? Succeed in causing another car to wreck, cause the driver to sustain serious injuries in the wreck or cause the car to go off the course and run over some innocent bystander causing serious injury or death. None of these three scenarios bode well for you or your "karmic" intentions.

Your whole argument is based on this very poor logic.
 
for a site filled with a bunch of male race car drivers, there seems to be a bit too much concern over the size, shape, smell, texture and taste of my testicles. just saying.
none of you know who i am, never met me, never will meet me. i do not own a race car...so yes, you were wrong. all you need to know about me is i watched the video.
both lead cars bobbled in the same spot, on the same turn both laps. 3 never had the slightest clue you were there as you never made it past his door. he bobbled, you didnt lift...oh well. then to talk about winning with good karma....after you are set on taking him out? im not seeing the good karma here. no racing this weekend, so i guess you have time for your broken tailbone and spirits to heal. carry on
 
As a fan racing is racing but the part that bothered me was once he helped mess up the 196, the 3
had the balls to ***** to the officials that he wasn't involved in causing the caution,
so shouldn't be put at the back. Give me a break!!!!!!!!!!

I agree 100% with this and I explained it this way to Bessinger: As a racer you are participating in a motor-sport and just like nearly any other sport there are referees, officials etc who make calls based on what they see happening during the competition. Now you may or may not agree with what they decide but either way you have to take what they say and do as you're told, no questions asked. Crabbing and complaining after receiving a call you don't agree with doesn't do any good and is not appropriate in any sport. That's how I feel anyway.

I couldn't agree more. I would like to see all tracks enforce a rule where you are black flagged if you stop on the track to argue a call. That would get rid of all the whiny beaches who delay the show.

Rip- took a vote in the Kreke garage and we support you 100 percent. Bartelso boys rock!
 
Does this deal go for anyone that drives the #3 car ? I am just wanting to see what is in store for me if I decide to race it or not !!!!
 
I believe he said the next person that runs him dirty is not gonna forget it lol... But don't think I would wanna be strapped in the 3 car when John is there lol...
 
on the other hand drivers should be able to voice their opinion is see people move up three spots on a caution depending on who u are u might drop three spots. not right. jmo
 
Thanks , thats all I needed to know...One other thing, after watching the video someone needs to help Craig or myself adjust the rear view mirror on the car. Hopefully we will see you all at Belleville this Friday.........

sounds to me like your being a smartazz... I guess your also inviting Johnny down to settle this sh-t. Why don't Craig drive the dam car and stains up for his self instead of you coming on here and saying sh-t. Idk maybe I'm taking it wrong but it looks to me like he don't have no b-lls and gonna make someone else fight his battles... Pu$$y's I tell ya !!! Every track has em
 
What's it to you Dirtbag you have no horse in this race?
Like you have a horse in any of the sh-t you start on here u washed up turd. It's guys like you that get on here and run your dam mouth and don't have the heart or pride to stand behind what you say. Do us all a favor and grow a set and stand behind wht you believe in ol man..
 
I never said that I was coming after anyone. After reading this thread I was just wanting to see if I had a strike against me before I ever crawled in the car. Craig can handle whatever he needs to take care of. I watched the video and it plain as day shows Craig push up in front of the other car, by no means do I see how Craig could of known there was a car there unless he had mirrors or was looking out the back of the car. Looks like a racing accident and not a deal of taking someone out. It was a bad call to put Craig on the back. If it really matters, Craig asked me a couple months ago to drive his sportsman car at the nationals.
