I would have punched that guy in the throat after the race. that is bullshit he needs to be penalized with more than just money... he could have caused him to crash WTF.

 

[JSP]

Yeah, that was pretty bullshit. He took it much better than I would have!

 

[DragonBlu]

A little dangerous but I laughed like hell when I saw it on TV. It reminded me of my son and I racing dirt bikes back in the day on our place. The kid would try anything to beat the master,including that same stunt.

 

[Marthy]

Awesome! NASCAR do that every race weekend... In cars we call that bump draft. On bike I'm not sure... Pull draft?

I think thats a load of bs. He could've lost control of the bike and got seriously injured.

 

[Chevyfazer]

I think it's kidna funny, I mean how often do you see something like that

He was. The article says he was dropped to last place in the race causing him to drop from second to third in the points standings. Pretty stiff penalty if you ask me. What more do you want? A public beating?

points, money, standing are not enough for that stunt.... I see how there isnt a whole lot they can do but fuck you put someones life in danger like that!! you ask me he should not be allowd on any track after that stunt

Wow the Harleys were going so slow that he could lift his hand and arm that way.
That was armed robbery.

It sounds a lot worse than it is, I know people who used to grab people's brakes while racing just playing around having fun, they are called professionals for a reason they are really really good at what they do. I personally think it was to stif of a penalty.

To me it seems as though the guy being passed could have fought more after the idiot arm pull by the passer. He just basically threw a hissy fit and stopped competing. Not that it makes the arm pull OK, but dude, keep going, don't just give up!

think about it if I pull your arm as you ride the force will transmit to the handlebars... how he reacted was not only understandable but apropreiate IMO.

I was there and saw him pull his arm back my view was from the back when they went into the final straight away. I spent the weekend out there and man it was a blast it was my first time at a race and wow was it fun. I took my daughter with me and she loved it so much she wanted to come with me to Sundays race so we went again. She didn't want to leave at all both days. Just me and my daughter we had the best father daughter time ever.

I wish the whole forum family could have been there with all yall's family's. It was very kid friendly and there was lots of free stuff and sales on just about everything for bikes and you could go in the pits. Also there was a few stunt shows done each day by Jason Britt, I went talk to him and he is a really nice guy, not to mention badass on a bike. It was a great time and great to see a real race and not TV. I myself was like a kid in a candy store only I didnt have money to buy all the "CANDY" I wanted! LOL:steve:

I know the feeling. My candy right now is all the mods I could do to my bike... I keep adding shit to my wishlist

I understand the reaction during the pull, but after that? I'm not saying it was OK, just that he could have tried harder to catch up afterwards..
