After a delay due to some technical problems, www.racewayvideo.com has been updated with highlights of Saturday nights race at the PAS.

This weeks clip is made possible by Mike Grosswendt's "All Coast Construction". Mike, if you don’t know, is the guy that writes the "surfnsprint" articles on vrafan.com. He's a great guy and gives a lot back to the sport.

I highly recommend a bowl of fresh popcorn while viewing the highlights, it's a wild one!

Thanks for all the support

Man, talk about a failed slide job.....Sheridan will be raced like he races others........

Good stuff, like always, Jeff....

Chuck.....

The failed slide job you refered to could have been avoided if Cardey would have hit the brakes like he did when "Super" Rickie pulled the same antics on the first lap no less. It was obvious that Hansen was out for "revenge" and driving like a maniac to do so. These guys are race car drivers and have the ego to prove so. There isn't any difference in the way sprint car racing is today than it ever was.

I will say this after looking at the highlights (remember I was not there). Hanson hit Sheridan and had every oppertunity to spin him and didn't. Sheridan hit one guy and put him out of the race.

IF you are looking to see who is at fault more I think it is in black and white (or baby blue in this case)

I love how hanson actually tried so hard to take Showtime out and he kept it going... and still beat him... lol... why does everyone get so mad when someone does it to them However when they do it to someone else they dont think twice about it.... Its Called RACING!!!!!!!!!!!!! SHIT HAPPENS............What would really be great is if they Brought in a mexican wrestling ring and let all the drivers bare knuckle it out in the middle of the pits... That would be a great show....... I think it would sell out.... maybe then you could get away with ripping people off at the snack stand//////SHOOTER/////

SHOOOOTER!!!!!!!

Super Ricky was clearly and cleanly in front of Cardey when Cardey hit the brakes to avoid him in the first lap. Sheriden too, could have hit his brakes and avoided Cardey when he realized he had missed the timing on the slide job. That said, things a happening pretty fast out there and it is easy to second guess sitting here before a computer screen. It looked a lot more intentional in person than it does on the video clip. It was an accident and Danny apologized for it. Not much more he can do at this point. I'm pretty sure Danny would take it back if he could. His apology sounded sincere to me. The only good thing about the incident is that Cardey wasn't badly hurt.

Prior to the flip "Dynamite" David Cardey was sure putting on a great show his first night in the Crossno 38 car. That looks like it could be a match made in heaven. I was really hoping he would win that race.

Congratulations To Super Ricky though. It was really good to see the "King Of The B Mains" win a feature. As good a racer as he consistently is, it was overdue. Glad to see his luck changing.

I have waited for Jeff Kristensen's clip from Saturday night, before expressing an opinion. After watching the video more than once, it appears that Sheridan was not at fault in the accident involving Cardey. Cardey may have been a little anxious, and who can blame him, when exiting turn two prior to the incident. I find no fault in either driver. I wasn't this sure the night of the race, but we were on the track and listening when Showtime was interviewed by Chris Holt. In my opinion (and mine alone) he was sincere in apologizing for anything that may have happened to Cardey and the Crossno sprinter. It was tough luck for Cardey as he was in the hunt up until the incident and very deserving of a win. If anything CRA should look into the trouble that is brewing between Hanson and Sheridan. Just my two cents.

Wanna bet that if the positions were reversed(Cardey crashed Sheridan), the Kittles and Danny would have been all up in arms about the "unnecessary" dirty driving and the failed slider?

In my mind, its all about respect; respect for your fellow competitors, other owners' equipment, and your owners' equipment.

Like I said in my earlier post, Danny will get exactly as he gives....and should expect no less....And his apology, while it sounded sincere, is just words....How about backing up those word with his actions? And maybe a check to Crossno/Cardey for the damage that he caused - not that they need it, but, if you're gonna apologize, do all that you can to make it right!

Chuck.....

LOL!!!!! A check to Crossno/Cardey? His apology didn't sound that sincere. LOL

Mike Brown

AMEN!!

From what I saw on this video, there were alot of bad slide jobs, or attempted ones,

as for Cardey I think Danny was well ahead of him, just like when Ricky went under Danny,

he chose to hit the brakes, David did not!!! Having not been there,

 I also know that Terry has no use for Danny's driving, as he has to put back together all the broken parts, but your driver tried to take out Danny more than once.

IMO. If you really watch that video ( maybe a couple of times) the track only had a slidejob groove. Its not cool to take out another driver, but ($HIT HAPPENS)

The best quote I heard at a track one time, was when we were all in the pits after a race at Manzy, Bobby Cody crashed his car, don't know who it was, but helping them trying to load the car into the trailer, all he could say is isn't this racing $hit fun, as we had floor jacks under both ends just to get it all back into the trailer.

There is always going to be someone happy, and someone mad. Its racing, I like all the drivers that are willing to put on a show for us the fans, they are or are not the hero's in the fans minds, their driving dictates who we the fans support,

I support anyone that will strap in and drive their hearts out just to give us the thrill to watch them. I know it sucks to get taken out, but they all have a brake peddle. JMO.

Nonwing, my only point was that there were plenty of slide jobs Saturday night and it appeared (at least to me) that Sheridan had cleared Cardey and that Cardey only needed to tap his brakes or lift to remain in the battle. Trust me neither Sheridan or Cardey are two of my favorite drivers, but I do admire them very much for their courage while driving these powerful and wicked race cars. Its why I show up most of the time. Again it is to bad the incident happened as Cardey was headed for a win or at least a podium finish. I appreciate your opinion.

"My driver tried to take out Danny more than once" Yes Garrett did run into the back of Danny and turn him sideways but he also backed off of him and let him gather it back up,the other times the two of them made contact was nothing more than hard racing on a difficult and very close quarters race track.

If any of you guys were privy to some of Garrett's and my phone conversations ( which I know you're not ) you'd know that I've told him to leave his emotions off of the race track and not to be playing bumper cars with people he's pissed at, to instead go and try to discuss it with them,which he has tried a few times and has been met with mixed results.

I don't condone people taking out others on the race track,but if a guy isn't going to give you an inch then you don't give him one either.Now before this statement gets taken out of context and people try to read into something I'm not saying,let me explain what I mean."Don't take the guy out but race him the way he races you".

Garrett is a very talented individual and fast race car driver and yes a little tempermental,but he is young and we are working on things with him.I know I would much rather have a driver thats a little on the wild side and you have to calm him down some than one that you constantly have to try to light a fire under his a$$. Garrett will mature and be a front runner for many years to come,so some of these other drivers better get used to it. I know for a fact that there are a few people out there that are trying to play head games with him and are trying to instigate things to get him to blow up and unfortunately he is letting them get to him,but I wonder why these people feel this way,do they feel so threatend by the fact that on some nights he may move them one step down the ladder?

Cheers!

Cheers!

Can I be the first one to say,"This is why we pay good money to watch this stuff" If Racing was like ballet or ice skating where everyone throws roses on the track who would watch..This SHIT is Great for ratings. I love the comment RACE HIM AS HARD AS HE RACES YOU! Very true. maybe after all this stuff we might be able to get pay per view in on this!

Everyone is a little Crazy in their own unique way...

Its the one's who Don't think they are Crazy you have
to Look Out For!!!!

are you saying that there is passing in an Outlaw race?who'da thunk it !!

ROB

Exactly how many other cars has Garrett wrecked this year?

Where were all you concerned F#cktards when Damion was doing this very same thing you all blame on Showtime? ? I don't think Rip has any less fans then any other driver and he is known for being a "rough driver"(just look at how much the right side nerf bar sticks out on that #3 car). It's obvious that everything (not just racing) cost's a lot more today then year's gone past, but are you kidding me? Bring a check along with your appology to another owner? .........LOL Racing has never or ever will be cheap, but it sure seems like boxer's and or men's briefs must be way more because some guy's in here got their panties in a bunch! ! !
