He might be a nice lad but the experiences i have had with him, he comes accross as if he isn`t winning then he will do anything to make sure you dont.

For instance, last summer at the catherine cookson meeting , vermin TQ`d i was 2nd and snee 3rd. Snee won the 1st leg i won the 2nd and snee broke it in the 3rd leg and was shouting and swearing on the rostrum with the general public watching the finals due to it being at a summer fair. He then proceded to throw his car off the rostrum in the direction of his tent, he managed to get the car fixed and then came back onto the track several laps down and takes me out.

So i would agree with redaV
Probably I should let this quietly fade away, but that wouldn't be me!
I've watched DS over 20yrs and - in my opinion - when he reached A final quality, he became a cleaner driver than over half the other A finalists I've watched. Yes, I've also probably given him more penalties, for language as well, than any other referee. But to say he will "he will do anything to make sure you dont (win)" is out of order.
As to your memory of the Cath Cook event, it is pretty well skewed. Your description doesn't stack up against the evidence of the results. DS won no legs. He failed to finish all 3. It was the second he left and came back on. If he did take you out it couldnt have been bad - only one of your laps (in leg 3) is greater than a second off the others, and that was only 1.5s.
Perhaps you were intimidated by DS, after all, out of the 30 best laps recorded for the 3 legs, he beat you 12 to 5 and he only did 28 laps to your 54 !

The main reason for this post - At this months NERCR regional, anyone using bad language will be warned or removed from the rostrum, and the sam goes for bad driving, as always but anyone found urinating where they shouldnt will be escorted off the park while its still dripping !

I'm looking forward to a lovely warm bank hol weekend of fun, I hope everyone else is.
