I was there the whole damn night. If anybody sadi they didnt get their money's worth, they are lying. Tony raced, he won some he lost some. I have been at HMP many a night and didnt see a damn race get off, just a bunch of side by side passes. It's GRUDGE RACING not class racing. You can't make 2 grudge racers race. For somebody to say they didn't get their money's worth, they must have been sitting in the circle track all night. True grudge racing is about getting in the other driver's head make him lose focus. I watched Javier follow Tony around to try to make him race. Tony never told him the race wasn't going to happen, and Tony never lost his cool. If there was no time set for the race, They both had ALL night to pull the race off. Tony played the game with strategy. It is as simple as that. They got in the staging lane and were ready to race. Yes it was after midnight...but apparently the stips were for it to go down at the MAY 19TH event. Remember they did not set a time. If Javier wanted the race to go down before midnight, he should have stipped that. Javier knew better than Tony that HMP will race all night. While they were in the staging lane, there were other races going on and problems with the track. NEITHER driver had control over that. At that point, anybody that was atill there knew there was a possiblity that because of safety issues, the track may shut down...hell that is common sense. I was standing there when Tony offered Javier the $300. He refused it saying he wanted the whole $500 P/O. The $300 wasnt for punk out money it was because Tony knew the race might not go down due to TRACK issues. Javier kept mouthing off and Tony basically said then we will race. A smart gambler would have taken the $300. So Javier made his choice and mother nature won the bet. We all know the reason that Sam paid the punk out money to Javier. He has a race this weekend and wants to be "the good guy" just to get people back at his race. If you ask me, Sam paid the punk put money because he is the one who punked out. He had no idea about what went on with the Tony and Javier race and had to call around and ask people. Hell he didnt even know what was going on at what was suppose to be his own race. One of my friends asked him a simple question about the index races that were happening earlier that day and he didn't have a clue. Another friend of mine called and asked about when the track opened and he tried to push that damn Meet and Greet on friday nite, and that he had a race coming up the following weekend. My friend said I thought the 19th was your race. He said MY race is the 27th.
All of this negative shit about the race is just that a bunch of shit. That was the best damn grudge race most of you have been to in a long time, maybe EVER! Races actually happened. The crowd was great and under control. The house was packed until it was final that there would be no more racing.
When all is said and done. Javier you got out stipped. Take it as a lesson learned and know that if you want something in a race to put it in your stipulations. Atomic Dog, for the person who said who the hell is Atomic Dog, man they must be from another planet. You threw a good damn race and I give you props for being the only person to get Tony to come to Texas to race. You did a hell of a job trying to bring action. You got Houston and Dallas to come together in numbers. That is something we havent seen in a long time. We all know that you were the force behind making this happen. Keep doing what you do, and fuck the negative hater shit.
