My public apology.
I want to apologize for my actions yesterday at the Phoenix race. There is no excuse for my behavior. I over reacted, I was working my ass off to drive clean and drive fast after Saturdays penalties. The adrenalin rush after being t boned got the best of me.
I want to extend this to Jay, the judges, all the Lemons staff, and the B team.
If Jay says I’m not allowed back then it is what it is and it’ll be my own fault.
Thanks
Mark
details or ban.
Or details of the ban.
Driving my heart out to be fast and not get a penalty + being t boned in a corner + Adrenlin rush + Bipolar disorder = I tried to rush the other driver in the pits and 3-4 poeple to hold me back and kinda had me pinned against my car.

I was thinking more A.J. Foyt
Be careful rushing other drivers, I heard Nolan Ryan has been racing Lemons

That is still the single greates moment in Ranger's history. I'm so glad he's buying the team from Hicks!
Mark, that is the way to man up and publicly apologize. No whining, no finger pointing, no "I was treated unfairly" nonsense. Just a flat out I'm sorry and if you fvck me over in the future, I deserve it.
That is a righteous apology. Friggin' old school. Being a straight up man about it is the way to get invited back to the race. I salute you, sir, and wish you the best of luck next time.
Agree with Mulry. Takes a big man to do that. You gotta layoff the red bull though.
well theres nothing in the rules that say we cant be armed in or out of the car so i say let him race again

It wasn't red bull. It was Rockstar.
I would have guessed that you were all jacked up on Mountain Dew...
Personally I think the most offensive thing about this situation is the involvement of energy drinks in our motor sport. It's time we take racing back from these sugar-water Brawno fools by banning Monster, Red Bull, and Rockstar from every Lemons race and paddock.

cough syrup.

quiet, you.
The stuff isn't "energy" it's poison...spent a night drinking Red Bull and vodka at the Hard Rock in Vegas once, and the result was something that felt like a heart attack.....it wasn't, but don't mix this crap with alcohol...or fly right after...
Meh, it was a good weekend. I was jacked up on 7-11 coffee both days and only wanted to fight once. Luckily I didn't get a black flag, compound fracture or banned. They told me that if you race Lemons you'll need to deal with a few chuckleheads...I just made sure to stay clear of 'em and not drive like a douche. Hope they let you back, but seriously...don't take it so seriously...this isn't the place to drive like you stole it every lap.

My friend spent three months in North Carolina producing that show. Apparently it was a complete madhouse.
I'll second the thumbs up on a straight, no BS apology, but that won't stop me from sharing my sweet pictures of your Rockstar rage. Might I recommend green tea next time?
Hope to see you at Sears Point, or whatever race your forgiveness gets you into.
If I happen to t-bone you, though, I'm leaving my helmet on until you chill the hell out!
Jw 33 I was just about to post that . I used to pit for a winston cup series at 99 speedway in Stockton Ca. and that Madhouse was just like that .If you saw your guy/car PIT or Stuff someone to the wall you better look for something to defend yourself with. Because that pit crew was coming after you .
Needless to say I think I was hired/talked into working on for my Size (6'3 265) and maybe not my mechanical knowledge.
At the second Lemons at AMP my car was hit like 4 times in the chicane area by an old police car ,took my car out of the race. So next day when I showed up to the race driving the BOBCAT with concrete breaker guess who was in the pits when I was driving by .The Cop Car that killed my car so I preceded to drive to there pit and collapsed his trunk in a flick of a switch and the press of a button on the controls .Then they were yelling at me that there is a driver in the car ,so I reminded them that there was a driver in my car when he hit me me 4 times .
After I drove away with the best revenge feeling ever Jay came over and had a few words with me .
Then it just happens that the copcars teammate Camaro was the peoples curse. So I got a couple more hits in.

How can you get so worked up about Lemons RACING that you want to go fist fight? It's supposed to be fun!
