An unfortunate event this morning with Laserman's MA car

I am surprised he hasn’t blamed Alphonso of sabotaging his car yet. There’s no way those weights made that car wiggle like that.

Well since you asked for it. Here you go.

Guy doesn't send a car in, tear him down for not racing.

Maybe it's not actually about the racing?
VK, you're a good guy, but you're not on the correct side of this one, IMO.

You know full well that the person you're defending has a LOOONG history of talking crap about damn near everything other people actually DO in Pinewood Derby, and about things they don't.

You know that.

So any smack that comes back his way when he FINALLY sends one in and it sucks? Well-deserved, and then some.

You reap what you sow, and in this case it's the whirlwind.

You're partially right...it's probably not only about the racing, it's about the behavior towards other racers as well. No doubt. You don't get to throw temper tantrums all the time and then think everyone else has forgotten about them just because you have. Doesn't work that way.

Maybe I was not as clear as I should have been.

I am not defending Laserman's past actions. Much of what he does is not defensible, and if you ask him, I am sure he will tell you I am frequently unhappy with his behavior.

That said, in this thing, he built a car without much fanfare and sent it into a race to support Greg Dawes. It seems that action at least is deserving of some kind of affirmation.

That's all I have to say on the matter.

Yes, it's a good thing that anyone sends in to Mid-Am. No doubt, kudos for that.

You must remember that the "fun" that is being had at his expense comes on the heels of yet another very public meltdown, in which league racers and the leagues themselves were targeted. Pretty fresh memory, yes?

As to the 'fun' that was at his expense: Kind of childish, for sure. The "for sale" thread, and then this one with the video. Not my style. I can live without all the drama. But his response to the "for sale" thread? WAAAYY over the line. Seriously, you throw THAT much of a hissy fit and attack EVERYONE over what was clearly a joke by ONE person? Who does that? Right or wrong, you do that sort of thing you're going to get these types of reactions.
