Settling Scores

We have all seen this before at our track. A driver roughs up another driver, maybe even taking him out. They get sent to the back and don't comply. 2 drivers may make contact with one another and both spin out. They have a disagreement to where they should be. They won't let one another in. It's understandable. They may confront one another on the track or in the pits. That is fine as long as it's person to person. I would rather the 2 parties talk about it later on when things calm down and the drivers aren't fueled by adrenaline and emotion. I honestly think that is the BEST way to handle things. What really irks me and is chickenshit in my book, is when drivers use their cars as battering rams and weapons to settle their score with a driver they feel wronged them. Look, I'm not saying you shouldn't settle you score. Just don't do it to where someone else can get torn up or hurt even. It's stupid. It also makes you look like an ass. If you want to settle your score, do it man to man, possibly hand to hand. I'd much rather see 2 drivers pound the living hell out of one another before seeing one use their race car as a 3,400 lb weapon. Do what you have to do to settle your score. After that, let it go and move on to the next race.
