That guy is a numbskull... Freakin figures he drives a rice rocket with a fuchin radiator...
I think you should have let Len and I go handle him for ya..... And the fact that the cry baby's dad might sue someone- hell if he don't square his punk kid away he might be suing someone after an assault and battery charge! I think you need a piece of railroad iron for a bumper first race next season, knock him into next week and maybe he'll get the picture! |

Chris,
I've seen many of your video's and you always seem to take the right lines to get past the lesser cars (non 914's) LOL. Responsibly. IMHO, that dude did it on purpose. He tried to do it to the car in front of you and then did it to you. I thought even amateur race car drivers were supposedly better than people on the street.... Maybe not. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/wacko.gif) (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif) Heck, they even do "paybacks" in NASCAR..... Tho I do not advocate it. |

After the incident the Chief Steward filed a Request for Action (RFA) to investigate the contact. All three drivers were called to make statements in this action. The result was loss of qualifying times for the Miata driver. I filed a protest against the Miata driver. I cited 5 sections of the rule book covering reckless driving, allowing racing room, use of mirrors, blocking (weaving), avoiding physical contact. I had my video and the video of the car behind me as evidence. I also had written statements from 2 drivers following me, a corner worker who was off duty and watching from a nearby vantage point, and the driver of the light blue Midget. My entire protest was upheld by the SOM (stewards of the meeting) and a penalty of 12 race event probation was handed down. My protest fee was returned to me. The driver of the blue Midget was on my side completely. Both penalties carried an automatic 3 penalty points against the license of the Miata driver, for a total of 6 penalty points. Both the Miata driver and myself appealed the severity of the penalty. I was asking for revocation of his competition license, and had a petition signed by many Production drivers including multiple National Champions. My appeal was considered well founded and my appeal fee was returned, except for $50 which is always retained by the SCCA. Unforunately the penalty was not increased. I had hoped they would at least suspend the Miata driver from the race. |

Chris, I'm rules impaired. What do the 6 pts against his license amount to? Does he have to go to race car driver traffic school? (he should)
Unfortunate incident. |

Just like a regular drivers license. If he accumulates 15 points in a 3 year period his license will be suspended for 6 months. |

I'm stunned, did anyone think to ask him why he was scrubbing so late after the turn? You presented yourself and had the perfect line to pass he obviously
a) has no regard for his or anyone elses safety b.) thinks he owns the track c) believes daddy will bail him out of a jam d) all of the above Sorry this happend to you Chris. Kinda makes me want to carry a bat to track events (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/ar15.gif) My best, Mike D. |

Looks like the "I'm gonna sue" notes got deleted from the thread. Daddy probably realized that having them there could bite him in the ass, hard, later.
Too bad the punk still has a racing license. His defense appears to have approximately been: "But I always do it this way!" And that one guy on the forum... I have to agree: He is a total (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/dhead.gif) -- utter cranio-phallic inversion. --DD |

Dave, The lawsuit threats were not posted in my video thread. They are in a topic titled "FP sessions". Theracinglawyer is trying to get his hands on a petition that went around at the Runoffs so he can see if anyone else can be sued by him. I saw (wrote) the petition and I don't think anything contained in it is actionable in court but I'm no lawyer. I am pretty sure that if he sues anyone that would be grounds for removing the Cefalos from the SCCA. Something theracinglawyer wrote on an official SCCA site where he makes race reports (ie. personal blogs) is pretty funny. He didn't intend it this way but it is a perfect description of himself: "Some minds are like concrete, thoroughly mixed up and permanently set."

The son's name is Marc Cefalo. He owns a company called Planet Miata that sells used Miata parts. The father is Mike Cefalo, a trial lawyer from West Pittston PA. They both race in the Northeast in my class, since the beginning of this season. In the past they were in other classes and pissed off a bunch of people wherever they have been. When I used to race Regionals I encountered them on track every now and then. They held me up a few times but never hit me back then. The father took a liking to me when we met at Lime Rock in June, publicly calling me special. He has said that if his son can't win a race he would like me to win it. I'm special alright, I'm the guy trying to get rid of them. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/happy11.gif) |
