Wow, looks like Mr Sloe had a rough time at the runoffs.

Mr. Sloe indeed appears to be some kind of malfunction!

I would have thought that the person who allegedly backed into a competitors car on pit lane and burned rubber while pushing him backwards would have made the bulletin with some type of action.......

Maybe it was all rumor at the ruboffs but there seemed to be multiple sources and similar versions. Which is sort of the definition of a rumor......

[Greg Amy]

It was no rumor...but he did not appeal*. Instead, he got really smart and figuratively got down on his knees and begged for forgiveness. Which was a really smart move, infinitely smarter than the move that precipitated it.

* No appeal, no appearance in Fastrack. I suspect a list of RFA's and protests from the Runoffs would fill a small book. they had three (four?) SoM groups in an on-call rotation for the week to handle the load.

Ding. I think there is a need for a comprehensive and accessible list of CSAs and RFAs.

1. I want to know the habits of those against whom I race so I am aware of them while on track.
2. In deciding whether to throw paper, I would like to know if this was a single instance of being a bonehead or a long history of being a bonehead.

[JeffYoung]

Totally agree, BUT..isn't this like the Redbook you weren't very happy about before?

It has been normal to have about a dozen SOM (mainly Exec Stewards and a couple of deputies) on three or four courts. As I recall, there were an average of 50-70 actions during the Runoffs (sometimes a bit higher if there was a full moon). In the mid 90's, the SOM would create brief summaries of their actions to be publicly available (posted at the base of the MO tower) but somewhere that train got derailed. Too bad, it was a good effort.

Wow. Maybe Mr. Sloe should partake in some anger management courses. Or in a different sport altogether.
