    Nice! I'm guessing he got more than his fair share of blue flags the next day... only not in the way he was hoping?

    I am a regular poster on the prod car forum since I have two production cars.
    I asked Mr Stautberg to elaborate on his post right after he made it, with no response.
    Someone else posted an explanation of what occured, and it sounded like there was some "boneheadedness". Hopefully the responsible boneheads learned something or got to visit with the stewards after the race.

    I also wonder if Mr. Stautberg realizes that when you complain about other drivers with no explanation of what happened in your first post ever to the forum it carries zero credibility.

    The prod car forum is a very interesting place, especially in the silly season. As a guy who started in IT and has moved to production both groups have their pluses and minuses. However, I think that we all need to remember that we are members of the same club and must treat each other with respect and civility.

    Come on Dave, it is winter and we don't have any real interesting topics to bitch about right now. Put a log on the fire and let the insults rip!! Prod drivers suck---OOOPS, I have a prod car too.

Wait, I do that every race weekend with my 40 year old IT car......
