No offense intended, but not attending SDX because of an act of stupidity on another individual's part does not make any sense to me. That's like the kid at the playground taking his toys because the others don't play by his rules. I understand you not wanting to put your truck in harm's way, but you can't "police our own" actions at Scheid's when you're sitting in your living room. If anything that may be an issue with the hotel, not the event itself.
This was not a single individuals act and there were many others who were also acting like fools.The gentleman who I witnessed when I walked out to retrieve a article from my truck was dealt with in my own fashion.The sheer amount of stupidity witnessed by many due to the amount of alcohol overload in that town was a embarrassment to us all.It has not stopped,nor has it been curtailed at all,the videos are out there and it seems to get worse each year.I will keep saying it,I attend many other sanctioning bodies national events and do not have to deal with the amount of stupidity that goes along with diesel motorsports events.One would think if we were policing our own,issues like this would not continue and towns would not want us out of the area.
Maybe your right and some of us are like a kid taking his toys so no one else can play with them.However,until the others can stroke the check to pay for the toys I feel they have no right to use them let alone have them for their personal guardrail while having a burnout contest in a motel lot.
Carlisle a couple of weeks ago had its share of issues,due to weather and too much booze.from idiots and their diesels driving around sooting everyone out and doing burnouts to the drop-n-drag jagoff's acting like drunken idiots many people were talked to and some tossed out.The only reason I still go there is I do not have to leave my truck sit in a motel lot and can take it home.The one truck we left at the show grounds(GF;s 01.5 Sport) had stuff stolen from it and the management basically did not care when told about it.
Its very tiresome when you work hard to have a nice unit and others have no respect for their own and even less for yours.
Well dont go then, while im sure most here would agree with you it gets out of hand, your not goin to change the world, and most are too busy watching or competing in the event to walk around policing it. While i agree with you its rediculous what some people do out there, if you let yourself get embarrased over it, that is your own problem. Diesel events have the most problems cause its the "popular" thing at the moment. Common sence will tell you that. So i guess if your not gonna go, dont go, like i said, the event will go on.
It is even some of the competitors, last year(might have been the year before) I snagged a set of keys from an idiot that was doing donuts in the infield and gave them to a local law enforcement person. His pulling buddy made a comment on here about how big of a dik I was for doing that. Lol
There is no way in he'll I would let the actions of a few jackasses determine wether I have a good time or not. You can't prove that diesel guys are better by staying home either. Just my opinion though take it for what it's worth
