Guy rammed at least two people in a short period of time, that much is certain, anything else until I see more pictures (we love pictures here) is BS.. If we can eliminate the passenger seat and allow turbos in 3.0L D cars to keep up with the chipped 3.2L E cars the universe will return to normal. Oh, and kill that $600 seat slider for Randy too..

So the story gets worse. I received a few emails from people who told me he also rammed another car at the Test&Tune before Brainard this year. He then proceeded to skip the novice meeting which is required for a driver with a 13. He is racking up a body count faster than Michael Myers in Halloween.
The problem is not just that he is wreckless, but he simply has total disregard for other people or the rules we are all suppose to abide by. And because many of his incidents happen in Test&Tune instead of in PCA events he'll keep coming back to strike again.
Matt, i have confronted him in person. After he hit me he failed to report to Black Flag and failed to come find me, but I searched and found him. He did not apologize or even seem to care about what happened. And because of this attitude the hits keep coming. 4 and counting in a matter of 6 months and all involved him ramming people with the front of his car. The same mistake over and over again ....
I've been hit by others and never made mention of it after it happened. No reason to make public cases of those instances. This one is clearly different and hopefully someone does tell him about this public shaming. He needs to know how others feel so that he either changes, quits the sport, or isn't taken by surprise when he is taken behind the wood shed after his next incident.

It's one thing if you have no talent. Quite another if you have disregard for the safety and well being of others on track and an indifferent attitude after the fact. I hope that those in his region get through to this guy or the people who allow him to get on track time after time before he hurts somebody.

well crash etiquette varies by person to person I guess based on your upbringing
My first and only "crash" in a race happened in my first year at a non PCA event
I tried an inside pass with cold brakes and hit someone from behind
I stopped made sure he was ok and after the race I paid for his repairs as I clearly made a bad mistake and was glad no one was hurt
that was years ago and I havent had another incident since
everyone may not offer to pay cause racing is racing but at least man up accept resonsibllitiy apologize and learn from your mistakes

I backed into a dude at Sebring when the pits were closed, not knowing he was behind me. Offered to pay for his damage but he never took me up on it. I would like to think that If I f'ed up someones car on or off the track because of my complete stupidity I would offer to help them out.
