Tommie has brought up a little known ruling that I had forgotten. It is as he says even though over half or more have let it slide into the back of their mind.
My dad before he left us was a stickler on the rules and if he were here today he would probably be calling Bill Senior and asking how this was forgotten -------- but wait, neither of them are with us today so its up to us to remember the true meaning of such rules.
You may think those guys that set in that motel in Daytona for days were partying but if you stopped and really read those rules before Brian and his cronies got in to them and started slicing and dicing them to fit their mood or whim you would see they were a well thought out set of rules anyone can race to. Now you have someone who sets up on his highchair and says I can add and change as I want because of WHO I am.
Jeff Gilder is a man of the old school because of ONE person (you figure out who) Tommie Clinard is another of the old school method along with many others here who cringe when our wonderful sport.. Tim along with others played hard in the beginnings and was handled by a person of knowledge,his granpa, and he too knows of the old way. Maybe thats why neither of us struck the first blow but rather voiced the retaliation to one another.
Dale Earnhardt knew of this and maybe thats why he and Richard were so successful together.
I believed that winning had to have character and maybe thats why I would go off and run non sanctioned races rather than be new rules crammed down my throat.
Bob Moore also was another that could not and would not stand for the good of one, but for the good of all.
I am not preaching but only defining the life I was taught and the way I was raised to race and to win.
