Are we up to insulting each other's women now?
Nice
No Denny, it was just the angle that you looked at my post from! I know that the word Many sometimes is translated in other languages as YOUR WIFE! I'm still looking for that translation though! Can you find it for me and send it over, so I will be sure not to make that mistake again?
And just for your info Drago F*cks up sometimes, there was this one time he was supposed to send me some headlights and well they didnt get shipped out and I had to call his a$$ up and see what was going on, he walked out into his shop and found those pesky things boxed up just sitting there and he threw them in the mail! LOL
This just isn't one of those times! From any angle!

now you're just being a dick.
Maybe so! wasnt the intent! It seems to me that some on here want to find anyway to make it seems like it may really be Drago's fault somehow wiht statements like from this angle it looks like he blocked from this angle it looked like this or that or the other!
You and Denny are just dead wrong on this, at least SAE had the decency to just come back and say I am sorry, I'm wrong was not Drago's fault! that showed class! I am not always the classiest dude but when I am wrong I appologize!
If I did think it was Drago's fault I would tell it to him not come on here debating it!
It's time to talk about something other than this stupid BS that is over and done! And I am done discussing it as well!

Even though I also beleive it to be much more steves fault here, To be insulting or rude is no better then what he is accused of doing. Very easy to jump on board with the "mob".
Congrats to Elivan, I finally watched the race and he did do a fantastic job of driving. Truly deserves the win and even if Drago survived lap 1, there would have been no easy win for him that day as many have implied.

It was very subtle, but it looks like Jims car is remaining straight while SG is not. Knowing the history of what went on prior to the race, etc, Looks like Jim got screwed
Yes. It doesn't take much of a hip check to turn one of these cars sideways especially when the lead car is hard on the brakes.

To be clear, my opinion is: I wasn't there, I have no interest either way, I've never met Mr. Gorriaran, so I don't have any idea what his intent was from viewing two video clips, and I'm certainly not going crucify a total stranger on a public forum based on that.
From Danny's in-car, it could be argued that it was simply a 'racing incident'. Again, I have no way of knowing.
Now I'm done discussing it too.

if this would have been one of our "popular" drivers nothing would be said it would just be "racing".
You've noticed that too?!

Not sure I agree with your blocking theory Ron. I guess I would need another (fixed) camera view. But just wanted to make sure everyone agrees (knows) there is a big difference between defending and blocking. Might be a good off season thread, especially since some have mentioned potential "consequences" for blockers.
Great video Danny, you're brave for sharing. This year, I've learned a lot about having more fun amidst the drama and things you can't control, and my own mistakes for that matter.
For the most part, I saw some good heads up drving at the front, although I did love the hand out the window "whats a matter for you passing me" hand gesture
-bw
The hand gesture was funny...twice even

What I saw in Dannys video when he tapped AC was this...as Danny is drafting down the straight he moves his car to the right...AC has left maybe 1/2 a car width. When Danny makes the move to the left, AC goes with him and shuts the door and in my opinion creates the contact as Dannys car begins the overlap.
I come to this conclusion(because you can't actually see AC move from the camera)based on the assumption the track is at least 2.5-3 car widths wide(If not then I'm wrong). If AC doesn't move Danny would have had ample room to slide in there. Not condemning either here, as it was no harm no foul, but it did affect Danny in that with his gestures he is saying "sorry,sorry,sorry!" And along with that came more "warts" as he put it!
A discussion of defending/blocking no doubt is a great topic...with many opinions I'm sure

Maybe Ceasar can come up with an emoticon for this and we can call it the "Gorilla!"
