I was just reading that also and was coming to post Gerry... A sporting tragedy I guess...or not...seems like there may have been some intention, perhaps death was not the intention, unfortunately it was the outcome. In Stewarts defense, WTF was Ward doing getting out of his car in the middle of a track? Kind of like shaking a finger during a gunfight.

Morning Fellas, happy Monday.

From the clips I watched, I don't feel that Tony Stewart should be charged or penalized in any way. It appeared to me, and from reading the stories, that Kevin Ward was mad at Stewart for a pinch in a turn. He got out of his car to challenge Stewart while cars were still moving on the track...kind of stupid. Now I'm not the biggest Nascar fan out there, but I'm pretty sure there isn't a crosswalk or yield to pedestrian rule on the track. Unless your car is on fire, stay in it...

Its too bad a life has been lost, but it was a consequence of losing your cool in my mind. Just my measly opinions...

Hope everyone had a great weekend.

I agree Sherm, this is sad but no way you are going to walk away doing that.

Had to park the panel, I'm having trouble with the throttle body and had to send it back to Holley for possible replacement and now I have little room to work on my pickup. Life is always fun.

I am not sure of the speed but, I have never seen my trees bent over like they were. I have never experienced a wind like that
