did it ever occur to you that perhaps these guys are constantly walking on said prepared dirt track, and as such they have developed their "sea legs" as it were? thus they can walk on the track fairly easily without slipping and sliding all over the place?

no of course that wouldnt occur to you, because you dont think.

You people are the ones claiming that the composition of the dirt is so important. I only bring it up to show that there are dirt roads that are made out of the same dirt. Apparently you hillbillies think when that dirt is laid out in an oval something magical happens.


Yep.

I saw Tony's interview yesterday and he looks just awful, very troubled and like he hasn't had a good nights sleep in a long time. It's obviously affected him very deeply. I think anyone that thinks he did that on purpose or had even a scintilla of intent to kill Ward is nuts. You know a sad part about it is he could easily get in a private jet and spend his off time at his home or any number of selfish ways but instead he chooses to go race with the locals because he loves to race and just his presence boosts attendance and helps out the short tracks, many of which are struggling to stay afloat nowadays.

I believe some folks are drawing inaccurate conclusions about what they see on that video. I grew up around short track racing with my Dad having street stocks up to sprint cars and every class in between and I must have heard it a million times whether he was loading the car in the trailer, in the pits,wherever..."stay the hell out of the way because you can't move fast enough to get out of their way". That young man should've known better and you can't put this on Tony.

this is what is known as an accident. accidents happen. you are far to deluded into thinking that you know exactly what went on, and you are trying to use grainy photos made from bad video, and you listen to gossip mongers trying to improve their ratings at the expense of others, and then turn around an insult everyone that has REAL experience actually racing on the dirt tracks because somehow you think you know everything.

and now that you have constantly been schooled, you are turning to stupid sarcasm because you have nothing else to turn to. all your posts in this thread, and the one that was closed, are a huge failure.

Schooled? OK You have no moral compass that's why you support a murderer. You really need to stop blowing Smoke and come up for air.

for your information tony has not been convicted of any crime, inf act he has not even been indicted of any crime, and thus you calling him a murderer is in fact slander. are you willing to accept the consequences of such an action? until such time as tony is in fact convicted of a crime, he is in fact innocent until proven guilty IN A COURT OF LAW. and last time i checked you are not a court of law, thus your opinion means about the same as a pile of dung on the side of the road, nothing.
