Sounds like you are playing to a tough crowd. Lessons learned the hard way are often the best learned. Sounds like you have learned a lesson. You knew the answer to your question before you asked it. The thing to look for, is what happens now. Does HCR take notice and watch both drivers? Will they talk to both drivers? My experience says yes they will. I can also tell you this happens at every track not just HCR. Sorry for the response you have gotten, think it could have been more tackful,but it is true. You learn as you go. More advice, the next time you have a problem or question, before leaving the track, go to an offical and air your problem one on one, not on the net. I have,and have alway found them ready to listen. You may not get the answer you are looking for, but you will get an answer. But do it in the right frame of mind. bad additudes usually get bad responses. Good luck Don Moore
