So your blown away I'd oppose what appears to be bullying, according to the same eyewitness reports you're oblivious of, by your own accord. Hmmm, I'm Ok with that.

No one here is lobbying for your approval, I'm merely pointing to the facts in play, the Evidence.

Relatively speaking, It comes natural for me to oppose bully's. It's the bare minimum of decency IMO.


Mike you have repeatedly posted your facts and quite honestly I doubt anyone here really GIVES A #*&$ But if it makes you happy carry on, I can always use something to make me chuckle at how triggered everyone here gets you.

He's a great guy and I shouldn't reply to his stuff. There it's done.

I don't know that anything needs done. I don't agree with the odd man out here. But he is entitled to his opinion, however "out there" it is. But he is keeping it mostly contained to this thread. Actually his tech responses can be really decent, so I will sometimes view his posts there. He isn't ruining most of the threads. I have him on ignore. I don't know why anyone responds to him eventually. It takes two.

I do agree with Bucky.
..some people even enjoy arguing/debating with themselves. Mike has his views and is entitled to them, does not mean we have to agree nor read them in there entirety.

I do believe there is a place for his banter...JMO

Mike really is a good guy he has a wealth of knowledge and is a very accomplished racer. I do enjoy razzing him however at times and there is NEVER any ill intent. Have known Donald for some time as well and was somewhat surprised of his comments as he is usually also a great advocate of the sport, not necessarily bracket racing in general but all forms of racing. Donalds races are his creation and it is his sandbox, as racers however we can choose to play there or not.

Here's an example of the point i'm making. Trump made the claim he could shoot someone on fifth avenue in broad daylight and not lose a single voter. I'm here to say Trump would lose one for sure, mine. No one is above the law. I'm not gonna play identity politics. I'm gonna remain impartial, unbiased,objective and non servile to anything other than the Truth, according to Evidence. Everyone gets a fair shake rich, poor, black, white, good racer or bad. No one can logically make the claim this approach is irrational. This is the bare minimum of decency and as American as it gets.

I never said I had Evidence, what I did say was I looked at the reports on FB made by racers and spectators. I also suggested everyone here consider this Evidence made by people at the race, who saw some of what was going on, before coming to any preconceived notions.

Was the promoter justified in perceiving evil intent? Go read the reports on DuckX FB, of what went on according to eyewitnesses.

The only "Evidence" I seen was the video the D****e posted on facebook.

I'll bite ....... Don't have facebook so can't see the eyewitness accounts, what exactly went on ?? I did however see this duck dudes rant, so I'll assume the worst.

And nobody ever lies on Facebook or computer so it all must be true.

That's a damn valid point you make Sir. It's also a damn good explanation of how those who lie, F it up for the rest of us who tell the Truth.

In the end the Truth comes out. Truth is like the sun, you may block it for a time, but it ain't going away.

Well if somebody tells a lie and you repeat it thinking it’s the truth then are you telling a lie or the truth? Unless you were actually there when it happened you don’t really know what’s the truth and what’s a lie.

I don't recommend you or anyone else repeating anything second hand. However, I do suggest you go on DuckX FB and read the reports from eyewitnesses who were at the race, in order to consider the Evidence in coming to your own conclusions.

On the other hand we could all pretend it rational on our part, also knowing the promoter had a huge investment on the line, thousands of people filing in the gates as well as hundreds of race cars already on the property, to believe the promoter would out of the blue post a video rant on FB! But we'd only be buttressing the prevailing preconceived notion Authority is truth rather than Truth is Authority, which would also be irrational BTW.

I just watched the video of that D'bags rant and all I can really understand was some hillbilly is pissing and moaning about the fuc'n police doing somebody wrong and should die for it....might have been more but I don't speak 'billy....

So, from the evidence provided to me in that video, I'm declaring the man an idiot....

That is my opinion and I'm sticking with it...
