James---- I want you to know how truly sorry I am for saying what I did to you today on the stand. It was completely out of line and inexcusable. I would never physically harm you in any way. I feel embarrassed by my actions and TRULY wish I had dealt with it in a different manner. I respect you as a driver and a person. Please accept my apology. I also want to apologies to John, Willy B and rchr for putting you guys in a bad spot. I won't be back for some time as I feel I need to take a break due to my actions/ words. Again I'm truly sorry.
JP

Well...ahem...that was...interesting. I don't care to start a big hulabaloo about this, but the way I see it, it all went down like any other race day/night. There is more than one of us in this group who has, on multiple occasions, walked off of the driver's stand in frustration. Thankfully not me (although I've come close), but oh boy could I make a list of crybabies who need tampons. Heck...just check my YouTube archives and you'll find multiple examples. And most if not all of us have said some nasty stuff on the driver's stand as well. I'm guilty of that for sure. My view is, "whatever. Be a man and walk it off," and I mean that to both sides. Eventually, everybody calms down and everything goes back to normal. If you want to re-live that wonderfulness, the links are below.

James, it was awesome racing you in 17.5 Buggy for the first half. If you were a better driver, you would not have flipped on the double, so it's no one else's fault that you screwed up there. Live with it and do better next time.

On another note, I know reinaldo watched that IFMAR World's 4wd A3 race.

Check out the 4wd A-mains today. A3 was awesome. Associated. B44.2. Come get some.

Very well said Sticks...

JP... I commend you for your apology and I would hate to see you drop out of sight for a heated moment. We all enjoy your company and we all have at one point in time been caught up in the moment.

James... I know you are young and a bit inexperienced in life matters, but you need to calm down a bit and not take this "HOBBY" so seriously. You were running very well in ALL your classes and aside from making driving adjustments you really didn't need to walk off the stand. It says a great deal about you as a person when you "walk off" just because you aren't winning. You will be doing yourself a disservice if you can't learn patience and humility.

Lets get this straight. #1 That is not the reason I walked off the stand In the first place. #2 I don't take the hobby to seriously, I want to be competitive at it like most of us, I love to have fun at races and all but when stuff happens that's not supposed to happen in the duration of the race I get mad like 99% of the others. #3 You were not driving the cars so how do you know there was not something wrong? If your car you were driving felt like crap and knew that sooner or later you were gonna break it because of a silly mistake would you keep it on the track?. Please do not say stuff you do not know is true, I mean for example, When I took my 17.5 buggy off it was because I was mad at what someone said, than I come back to get my buggy and you pull me off to the side and say I can't say that stuff and threaten people up on the driver stand, why did you keep making false accusations that I was saying that Kind of stuff? I mean from the apology letter above most people know who said it! That is what really ticked me off YOU Doing that, Making me embarrassed in front of other people accusing me of stuff I didn't say!!! YOU are the one that caused most of the problem at the end of today, if it weren't for you saying false stuff than everything would of went like it was going. You had absolutely no right to pull that crap and you know it. I'm done... Thats all Iv'e got to say. Good By!

James, your a great racer and so is Jeff. I have respect for both of you and I like both of you as friends. (Don't wanna get weird u know). So all I'm saying is this ^^^^^^ was not needed. Jeff simply didn't know and I'm sure he wouldn't of said stuff like that if he know. You two are both great friends and it will be all good. Jeff just didn't know. It just sounded like you said it on the stand and from a Marshalling stand point. Just a missunderstanding that's all, and also. I know these things are expensive, but they are TOYS. Not something to get mad at people at or loose friends for. They are made to have fun and make friends and have a good time, not the opposite.

James if you weren't pissed before I said that you had threatened JP then you are full of CRAP, you were pissed well before that point and even made a snide comment when I marshaled your car (in which I volunteered for both of those races). If you weren't so pissed and closed minded at that point you would have also heard me apologize to you for saying that. Don't try and dump it all on me as you very well know that isn't true and when I made the comment over the mic it wasn't directed at anyone specifically. Grow the F%^&% up KID!

I made a snide comment because I was mad that THE MARSHAL that was supposed to be paying attention and marshaling didn't even look at my car and it's my fault for flipping it but that doesn't mean it needs to be 30 seconds before it gets marshaled. I was not pissed before that because I was having fun racing against Reinaldo UNTIL that point you said it. You are the one close minded. And you Grow the F*** up BUD! I have better things to do and don't want to continue this on the RCHR form so p.m me if you would like to say anything else.

John and Willy sorry about this on your forum nothing else will be said from me, see you both soon in a few months gonna take a break form RCHR I hope to make the large Indoor trophy races like the grand prix and hopefully a few sat races between than.

Nice videos Renaldo... looked like your B4 was a little pushy at that 180 after the straight and before the triple infront of the drivers stand. God race tho!

Sorry I missed being there.. Ill be at the next one for sure!
