Joe,Biased ,yes! I would rather have seen Brian or anyone else winWithout
any bumping or Saturday night bullring bullshit,everyone works very hard to
get to the runoffs some harder than others.In drag racing I believe they
catagorize fault at a first or worst scenario,I believe the worst scenario
was that McMahon-Novak-Knuteson was the worst scenario and it looks like the
SCCA in their infinite wisdom? saw it that way also,,

Gee, think your perspective might be a bit biased ? I never knew that the
amount of damage someone receives, is a determining factor as to who was
at fault. Novak was clearly taken out, what baffles me is why the black
flag never flew for McMahan.

I have just viewed the F500 race on SpeedTV and what caught my eye was the
hard hit that Brian Golay put on Kenny Price knocking Kenny up in the
air, off
the course and unable to continue. When you compare that with the hit
that
McMahan had on the rear diffuser of the Novak car and McMahan's wild
airborne
ride to the right of the track in avoidance of the sideways Novak (which
I
suspect contributed to his suspension ills later in the race). Novak
was even
able to continue the race with very little damage to his diffuser which
I
saw afterwards sitting outside the tech bldg. (the rest of the damage
was from
Knuteson's hit). I am clearly mystified by the stewards' NOT punishing
Golay for his hit when Price protested Golay, yet busted McMahan for a
slightly
lesser hit in comparison.
I am also even more mystified by the fact that I was told by Clint that
no
one but the stewards were allowed to view the video replays which were
critical
evidence in their judicial proceedings. This prohibition against
allowing
all involved parties to view all critical evidence is a violation of
judicial
due process. I think that it is grounds for appeal and overturning on
procedural error. Will it ever happen? I doubt it.
