Dorer Wins 3rd FL United Promoters Race

[Frasson118]

Who else did they wait for? I can't think of ANY, let alone 3-4.

I think you might be either confused or mis-lead on how that went down. Granted, it doesn't sound from Daniels own words that he might not have been real happy with the way things happened for him either.

On another note, until tonight i had no idea that winner, Steve Dorer, ran very respectably (but spun out of 4th place with like 5 to go) up in Kalamazoo Michigan on Wednesday night. Just 3 days later, and 1000 miles apart, he wins at A-Dale.

Gotta love a traveller....!!!!!

breaking NEWS : THE RACE DIRECTOR MAKE THE CALL ???????

THAN HE SHOULD BE FIRED JUST SEEMS THE CALL IS ALWAYS SOME ONE ELSE

WERE IS DON NERONE HE WOULD HAVE HAD THAT RIGHT IN 2 SECONDS AND A GOOD REASON WHY

[rick knecht]

your right guess they didnt wait on anyone else.not even a lap . And I take it you agree with how it went down?all I know is they run off more good cars.Spend a 1000.00 to support them only to get the shaft .you go support them,but I know others who wont be. But I guess Im confused.To many other places to go race with no confusion.Thanks for setting me straight.Its a great place to follow the leader.

Rick.... to save you the trouble of looking back a few posts, I will re-quote what I said earlier.... "Personally, I don't think it was the right decision". It doesn't get any clearer on where I stand.

My point was that you are trying to use examples of favoritism towards other drivers, that simply didn't exist. I don't recall any driver, other than Daniel Webster, pulling off with a flat tire, and I don't recall ANY drivers rejoining the field once they pulled off.

I don't know how the situation with the 33 was handled, but I do know that your reasoning is flawed.

Maybe the delay was because the race director was asking other officials for their opinion, which is what you do when you have a call that is not clear or you as the race director did not see, or.

The Race Director was not experienced in this situation enough to make a decision, or.

Rex was on the radio arguing with the decision that was already made.

I would put my money on Rex interfering.
Sounds like the FAST race all over again.

that "guy" is the best advertising a track could have

that speedway has more problems then all the tracks in the state added together. cars have to pass each other, in order to have a race, passing there is almost impossible, especialy when someone is blocking. last 4 races there, 3 were won from the poll, the other one the leader took him and second place out blocking, it is one thing to have excitment, but they screwed wayne and tommy,out of 5 grand, then they screwed schofield out of 5 grand (3 grand for race, and two grand for points), both were some of the worst calls in racing history in the state of florida. I just go there to watch the late models, I am sure this stuff is going on in all the classes? the racing there is follow the leader, or the blocker, again, thank god sunshine is open!!! That "guy" is the best advertising, the rest of the tracks could have.

geez, all I hear is a bunch of crying and belly aching from Rex taking charge and making the call.

Good job Rex !

[UREZ2PASS]

Congratulations to Steve Dorer on his win !

That's what this thread was about until the belly aching started and took away the spot light from a classy guys win.

Rex was sitting in the stands with friends, watching the race. He didn't even have a radio in his hands. He borrowed the flagmans radio to communicate with the tower.

Again.... the statement that he was on the radio arguing the call didn't happen. He was in the stands, looking for someone to to SOMETHING, and when that DIDN'T happen, he stepped up and took charge. No matter what decision was made, someone wasn't gonna be happy. But if noone did anything, we'd STILL be there.

Technically, at most tracks, the only one sent to the back would have been Winchell... he's the only one that spun, but only because he got sucked into the mess the other two created.

It was tricky, confusing, and impossible to make everyone happy. But at least he did something... nobody else was.

[UREZ2PASS]

Well explained Jerry. Glad you were there to see what really happened.

[rick knecht]

Hey Jerry my reasoning was flawed a long time ago at that place when they bout killed my driver pulling him out of the pits in front of the leaders.Because they say in the drivers meeting.hey guys if you have a flat we"ll try and give you a lap or 2 to fix it.than went green 1lap later .was you there watchin that?didnt have enough wreckers so they drag the car in on the frame?Yep you your right great place to race .And I dont know why a bother writin on here.CONGRATS to Steve on the win.!!!bench racing is not racin.so post away .Im done.
