you guys have to seriously think about it. Millen spun out. He freakin SPUN OUT! I thought that the rules stated that if you spin out, you lose. Then the commentator said that Keichi said they got another run because the other driver understeered. quote the commentator "It's not that Millen spun out, it's also that the other driver didn't do so well". It's funny, because Keichi went through the rules right before the tandem runs, and he said that spinning out automatically makes you lose.
I was there, I saw Millen come out of his car and congratulate (can't remember driver's name at the moment).
Then when Millen won after the second run, he came out of his car and shrugged.
Then what about when Bai ran agains Fixmer? Fixmer understeered and caused Bai to spin. Everyone was chanting "One more time" yet, Fixmer advanced. hmmmm.....
...and the whole "one more time rule?" Why do you guys think that rule was made?
To please the spectators. It's a pretty broad rule. Freakin spectators don't know crap. The people who sat behind me didn't even have a clue to what kind of cars were being driven on the field. They weren't the only ones either. The Judges should be the one's doing the judging, then be able to explain their decisions per the rules to everyone, not try to rile up and please the crowd like the Rock.
I seriously hope that they realize the stupidity of that rule and make stricter guidelines if they want people to see D1 as more of a competitive sport, not some big donut show.
I'm not mad though, because I KNOW it's a big SIDE SHOW.
Now you guys tell me why it's not.

Ernie man it's been seeming like you've been getting tough breaks lately. Hopefully this coming year will make things good for you. Good luck
