Mike and any other SCCA Solo2 vets...an acquaintance of mine is very upset over the official results of a Solo2 event. His rant is below...what do you guys think? I've never had anything like this or heard anything like this in the San Diego Region SCCA.
Here it is:
Today we had an autocross event. I run in OS, or SM as they call it. We ran, i checked the OS listing and for the very first time i came in 3rd place. I was gonna get a trophy... I had beat everyone else in OS. So i waited around for the final run groups to finish and then the timing chick comes up to me and says
"your del right?"
"yeah"
"well, we are only awarding trophies for 1st-3rd place"
"COOl, cause im in third"
"uh, no your in 4th"
I was like WTF.. So i walk over to the table and these people are all hunkered over the table talking and i ask what the hell is going on.. I beat everybody but 2 people in MY RUN GROUP and class... Well, it looks like one guys car blew up so he jumped in another car, registered as OS and beat me by .3
Heres the bull**** part. He didnt run in the OS group.. He ran in a different group. Also, his time that he supposedly beat me by that the computer had printed out was scratched out and had another time hand written in... So can they do this ****... Basically what i believe happened is this guy is a local favorite among everyone. he knows the timing chicks. He just ran in NO class whatsoever, and when he was done, placed his time in a class where he would trophy.... Its just bull****. This is the 3rd or 4th time me and joel have been ****ed out of a good finish... Everytime joel would come close to having a good outing, he would get good clean runs.. when they posted them on the internet they would always have a cone added to his score out of nowhere.....
So i have decided to quit this **** because when it comes down to it, i dont know the people who put on the event so i seriously doubt i would ever be able to win with cheaters running the ****ing event.
OOHHH, and another example.... ONe of the main guys was running on the track, well he spun early on his last time out and just right near the end his ****in buddy ran out and red flagged him for some bull**** so he got to run again...
anyways, **** scca and all that other bull****... fun while it lasted.
