FEEDBACK FRIDAY - FEEDBACK FROM FEEDBACK

Mr. Elms was right when he said it's sad when we lose a racer. Be it cars, bikes whatever. The fans that followed Medlen, Russell, Trett, Schultz, Myers, Nix, Blaine, the list goes on, they all feel the pain of losing an icon.

I take offense to Mr. Elms saying Force is scared. This accident was the ultimate "let's regroup" that I can imagine. I'm more than sure that Force felt the pain of losing fellow racers before. This one hit way to close to home. Mr. Elms said he would give anything to get a nitro seat. Does that mean he could jump right back into the car without fear? If yes, that sounds like a cold individual. Force lost as he said "the leader of his next generation".

Let's see, his daughter and son in law sit in the other seats. If Mr. Elms put himself in that position, would he not explore every option to make the cars safer? I would bet he's a good guy and yes he would try his damndest to make sure this didn't happen again. Ashley said she didn't want all her training to go for nothing. That's nothing new. Force is the owner and is just trying to protect loved ones. I believe he did share his info with Bernstein. So don't be surprised if we see Brandon's cage modified. Would Kenny do the same thing as Force did if a teammate lost his life? YOU BET HE WOULD! Would that make Kenny scared? NO.

And yes Mr. Elms. I being a hard-core drag racing guy since 1969 (when I attended my first race at 6 years old) can tell 300 mph from scared! If anyone was scared they wouldn't even strap into one of these potential time bombs!  If you want to call Force scared, so be it. Call John Medlen "the strongest man I think I've ever seen"! It's easy to sit here and second-guess decisions made by teams we'll never be a part of. It's the better part to respect a man who thinks that there are things to be made better to be a safer sport.
