***Secondly, my advice regarding your protests and everything else is to keep that between you and him. ***
Bill, your are correct with your thoughts from your perspective.
IMHJ, more of this sort of stuff
needs to be talked about out in the open when the the driver who does the punting is also the driver who protests the guy who got punted. Simply put, I passed the protester & he didn't like the fact that he got passed by ME @ MY first ITA race ever.............. Therfore under braking at T1 he punted me
& then I drove away from him. I thought no more of it (other than after the race to look at the car damage I received) untill my # was called to the SOM. & in the protest room here is the punter who has zero sack filling out protest paper work. If the protester had any SACK he would have looked me up after the race & that would have been the end of everything. But no the protester is doing his SHOW & TELL for his padocck pals (three other red cars & all good guys from what I understand). After his protest is disallowed the protester is full of apologies using other things as reasons why he took a shot at my left rear corner & the aftermath. These paper filling protesters need to be openly called out when their protest is disallowed & their only reason to protest is to fulfill their personal EGO.
St. Louis or bust

ps: Bill, one race in ITA this year with maybe a total of 50 laps & a fast race time of 1:27.4. Hmmmmmm, I think ya need to plan on faster times than 1:25's for year 2005.
See ya then..........
Ben, what's your target time for year 2005 ?
