what do you think?

went racing last night, was going great being in the top heats for second time ever ( ). then some muppet decided to drive the full length of the main straight the wrong way straight head on into my car, which resulted to the end of my meeting due to a broken reciever (grrrr).
the guys dad and grandad said it was 'an accident' what are your views on the situation then? as my boyfriend then, after the incident, picked up his car, placed it on its roof off the track for then the grandad to have a go at him for 'throwing' his car.
everyone at the club agreed that it was no accident and the boyfriend did the right thing by taking him off the track.

its really annoyed me as im trying to develop my racing but its difficult when you get muppets like that wrecking your car because they are afew laps down.

the kid sounds like he did wrong but unless he has a signal problem or fault with his car your boyfriend has no authority to remove him from the race. as long as his car is still working and he is racing the correct way round only the race director or referee can black flag him or give him a stop and go.

thats how i interpret the racing rules anyway

[beckybean66]

his car was fine cos he managed to avoid 2 cars that was infront of me and then hit me, then drove away when he knew i had problems with my car..
even the person incharge says that it was stupid of him and that the boyfriend was in the right to take him off the track.
he is one of these kids that has cost people hundreds of pounds worth of damage over the months.

its just a club meet so yeah removing the lad isn't a big deal but going by rules it shouldn't happen

the lad sounds like a nightmare though, someone has to talk to him or his parents if they don't know they won't learn

I think you've got every right to be annoyed.

I understand that sometimes incidents happen where a car can accidentally cross onto the wrong side of the track into oncoming traffic, but it sounds like a deliberate act of lunacy from the way you have explained it.

I don't think i'd have been quite so polite to be honest.....

[beckybean66]

yer alot of people are annoyed with him, i think that he shouldnt have got his points for that meeting cos he never listens, and he is old enough to know how to race cos he races at another club too...
if he wants to smash cars up he should do a banger meeting

[arransmith27]

He should race Mardave if he's gonna drive like that

im the person that took the car of the track and put it on the cars roof off the track, and clearly he wast going the right way.
i dont mind about replacing the damaged parts if it was a racing inncident, but after all it was all down to the stupidness from 1 nugget of a person and is driving the wrong way.
my 3year old son knows that there is 1 way round a track.
