The drag racing Hondos got the attention of the referee . The SE boats shut down before the flare went off but the whole class was penalized the same. ARREST EVERY BODY IN THE CLASS -----JUST BECAUSE Jimmy D. Kind of like a bar fight-Round up everyone and throw them in the drunk tank, let them sort it out in court. Ref had blinders on.

A little history why I am upset with this....
Or held a grudge himself or with some friends. Heck, I was treated the same 12 years ago but slightly different.....
I was allowed to run APBA region 10 @ Moses Lake in 1999. After being lapped with a 7 cylinder bbc, I had to go one more lap to finish. All the Seattle SS boats turned in front of me before I had got the checkered, ignoring the return to pit flag that wasnt yet displayed!
Their penalty;was a warning in private! Which of the two offenses seems more dangerous to you??? Turning inside the course (not the DMZ) to time the clock well for a good start, or turning in front of a racing boat? Someone should protest or at least receive an explanation why all 6 of our guys got ticketed? Only two rookies there the rest veterans of 5 or more years of racing and treated like drunken risk takers! FAR FROM the TRUTH if ya ask me!
I will re-evaluate our plans on going to Sammamish next month for fear of the same poor presiding referee. My sincere sympathy to all those hard workers who spent dearly to make the pilgramage instead of enjoying their weekend at Trout Creek!

Anytime dude....you guys (Mike, yourself, your friend, and Dave) were a blast to be around....and I sure felt like you know what for leaving carb cover on Saturday....that will never happen again.....I think the funnest part of the weekend was the "dinner" that Dave Cossette was served at the Mexican place....I am still laughing about it nearly a week later....also..if you are free Yelm weekend maybe you could pit for me? Beer is on me....
