Just saw it on TV. Is Rick Stewart always that much of an ass? I realize, after Jeff Foster clarified, that Greg was wrong, but the attitude that Rick copped with Ken Black seems out of line.

So did I, does Ken Black have to be in his face?
If you were are deaf as Rick is by Sunday, you would be loud as well.
You are correct, you are confused

I just counted and once Greg pre-staged it was 13 seconds (give or take my "one-one thousand" counting) until Rick dropped the lights. Im sure he could have brought it in in those, lets say, 10-13 seconds. I dont get the big deal, even Mike Dunn said he never heard of the rule Greg was talking about...

I am waiting to see the replay on the TV show to find out what the actual sequence was, but from the drivers' descriptions, it sounds like Enders went in and lit both bulbs before Greg lit the pre-stage bulb. That's legal in the Professional ranks, not legal in the Sportsman categories where "courtesy staging" is required.

In any event, the sequence caught Anderson off-guard and he was timed out before he could get the car fully staged.

Just aired - I assume we didn't see real time footage, because it didn't look like seven seconds. Dunn very plainly stated that KB Racing was wrong in assuming that one driver lighting both bulbs turned off the AutoStart.
And . . . Larry and Jeff, thanks for your input on this and the real deal on Del and Kim's problems.

I don't see the problem in todays race. He had his normal 7 seconds to stage after he prestaged. Was he trying to hang her out there? If he let it rattle him, that's his problem. If he saw her in, he could take his time pre staging and then an additional 7 seconds to stage. If he didn't notice her in and staged early, then why did he take so long to stage, after his prestage?

He has seen many burn down attempts and knows nothing starts until both prestage and one stages. In my opinion, he just blew it.

Greg thought the timer was turned off if a driver turned on both bulbs before the other drive turned on the prestage bulb. It sounded like he was trying to hang her out, but he he hung himself out.

im a huge huge greg anderson fan, but he was wrong period. i think he knew he was wrong, when erica turned on both bulbs ( which maybe was a mistake on her part mechanicly), he imediatly turned on his first, then his motor never came up. it was like he never tried to put the 2nd bulb on. maybe something was wrong with his car and he tried to play it off. didnt jason say greg was not thinking straight? anyway greg just had a bad weekend, everyone has the right to have 1 a year

#42 07-01-2007, 10:24 PM

i am an anderson fan but this move he made on the line makes no sense. unless he's 110% certain that this rule is written in the book, why the waiting game? What makes it more silly is erica didnt have any kinda car that could run with greg. I guess maybe this is gregs way of givin somebody else a chance to win !

Rick doesn't drop the lights...it's all done by auto-start. He merely activates the system.

rule No. 1 of racing is......know the rules

rick has to flip the switch after two cars are pre staged and one car is staged.
when he flips the switch, then auto start is enabled

Thanks for the explanation, Jeff.

Doesn't matter whether Greg thought the timer was off or not. He still took too long..but if there is ever anyone that can afford a mental lapse..it'd be Greg..LOL
