****that being said all there is left to do is for Houdini to MAN UP, ERASE THIS USELESS THREAD and take up any problems HE has with SPONSORED DRIVERS up with the CORRECT person and NOT A FREAKIN PUBLIC FORUM

So I'll leave your opinions up to you, if you'd like to talk to me about how I actually am, just come up to me at any race.

This has gotten so ridiculous, I don't even know what to think...

Well to answer you Rocco

A: I was there

B: I am not local

C: This not the first time you acted like a butt to people, like the name calling by you on the other forum

D: And I dont need to come find you at a race to know how you are. I already know how you are.

E: And it take's somebody realy low to try to hit someone with truggy on purpose.

This kind of stuff really shouldn't be tolerated in our hobby. I've been to plenty of big races where "that guy" tried to ruin the fun for everyone. If I owned a track, those hot heads would get shown the door every single time. Sure, everyone loses their cool every once in a while, but we all know the line and most of us never cross it while others cross it on a weekly basis. I've noticed that the tracks that allow this kind of stuff to go on have usually given up for all intents and purposes and basically gave control of the track to the regulars. To get back control of the track, all a race director needs to do is make an example of one person and usually everyone else will fall in line. Rocco would be a great candidate for said example.

I'm done with this topic unless Rocco decides to pull me back in.
Thank you for opinion and your comments. Whether you agree or disagree with me. And sorry that happened.

Well this isn't the first time nor the last. And if it was handled he wouldn't be calling people rude and crude names on other boards.

I am a local here in the DFW metroplex and I know Rocco personally. I was not there when the "incident" happened - so I can't comment on that. I can comment that besides Rocco's sarcastic nature (which is ALL in fun) - he is very helpful with the locals around. I know many a people that can get frustrated while up on the driver's stand.

Everyone needs to realize that we don't only represent ourselves while up on the driver's stand, we represent the companies cars we run, and the RC industry as a whole.

Rocco can poke fun with the best of them - and so can I - but to go around and posting all about ANYONE is sheer childs play.

II Fast - I like ya just fine - but give it up. Houdini - grow up.....
I appreciate your opinion, childish I am not. This is called a forum and I am discussing it in a forum. Therefore if you wanted to start name calling do it on another board. I am not the one who sold my Xray stuff, because I didn't like the team drivers. After you got back from a big race.

Butter,Jbrow1 and punkracer. Thank you for your comments and opinions. But you all must not have read all the way through that thread. If you did, and you still feel that I can respect that. Once Again Thank You.

Rocco, You must have done something really Bad! This guy is pissed. And Mr Mcgoo, I see some thing's never change. I guess since this thread is not on mike's board and you cant control it. Its Driving you guys Nuts. Well I do know Rocco and I wouldn't put this past him. But I was not there, so I can not comment on it. Just my 2 cents.

I hear you Jason it's disheartening. I have the $$$ to purchase the XT8 (It looks like an awesome Truggy) but I just can't help but think I would somehow be financing that kind of disgraceful behavior if I do. So I'm out as well.

there are lots of very good winners. when they win, they got a smile on their face, and are happy to help people.

but once somethings dont go thier way and dont tq or win, then thier egos gets bruised.

anyone can be a good winner, but the true test is can you be a good loser. not many of the "fast" drivers can be.

This entire issue is silly. Bottom line if someone screamed and cussed at me on the driver's stand or any other place at the track I would knock there AZZ OUT, period end of story. I may end up getting knocked out but the first sting will be delivered by me. Some one should calmly place there radio down and walk over and pop his azz and maybe he would think twice about running his mouth. I have no problem with someone expressing displeasure but screaming and cussing me, that's OUT.
