Nascar: one of those "Im sorry things"

by Micheal Barlo » Fri, 02 Aug 1996 04:00:00

got to say some thing to clear my mind

   Wensday night about 10:pm EST. I was in a race at Daga with I think a *FULL* field of
32. I qualified (i may be wrong) 9th. Every one was chearing about the LARGE field. (To
narrow it to this race) In practice some one ased if we could change the race langth.
Some one els wanted yellows to be included in the change.

   At the start of the race, the guy in front of me before T1 was a bit slower than me
getting going. I had a choice of going left and crashing the guy next to me, letting off
the gass to give the guy in front time to gain speed, going right between the wall and
the guy in front of me.
I made the stupidest desision of the latter not taking into account that every one is
squirly at the start.

   I pulled up and pulled right sped up to about my front bumper to his door handle,
then. took the rest of the field with me :(

   I've made bad desisions before but all of those would take just me or a couple with
me. Even those incidents were one of those thing were they wernt *BAD* disisions but bad
enough. This decision was PURE stupidity on my part. I've always known that that sort of
pass is not the thing to do and would not have ever have even concidered doing it any
other time. This isn't even one of those *Brain fade* mistaks. I'll excuse some
incidents, Mine or others for that, but this, this mistake. I knew what I was doing at
the time I did it but didn't even think of what I was doing till everyone stopped
spinning.

I'm absolutely sure I was in that race.  Wednesday at 10 p.m. EST,  I signed up in a FULL field
of 32 cars at Dega.  I qualified 11th (that might have been you ahead) I fell back to
14th and was watching you and the other cars.  I saw you (assuming it was you) pull a tiny bit beside some
car in 7th or 6th,  then I only saw a ton of smoke.  Luckilly,  even though I was tagged and got
very loose,  I made it through.

It looked to me it wasn't your (assuming) fault,  the guy you came up beside came down
on you,  that's what it looked like to me.  I must admit,  that was the coolest wreck
I've ever seen on Hawaii.  =)  Not that I like wrecking people like ***s,  I just like
getting through 'em.  =)

I forgive you,  maybe not the other 30 people,  but I do.   What was your screen name?
I'm sure I could tell if I was in that race if I know your screen name.

Forgived,
Mark
