JOlenick Seriously? What the hell... RT@FrankDolan Contract signed w/ @TXMotorSpeedway. All safety precautions available to the cars and track have been performed. Hanmore American 500 on 11/23. Tickets available!

JOlenick RT@AMRossini42 I cannot believe such a decision can be made.

JOlenick Any driver who willingly participates in that race is clearly not mentally sound.

ChuckBloomers: Well, at least we know which race will have the smallest field in history. Can't believe Hanmore officials think that drivers would actually run this race after 2012.

ChuckBloomers: In other words, if they have one-offs, you won't see me on that list. I lost some good friends during that race, no way would I even get near that event.

RealTomDelgado: Also, for the record - I would only participate in a Formula Overdrive race if winning would cement my legacy as a hall of famer. #imustwineverywhere

by JMac525 Tue Jan 28, 2014 10:50 pm

TMoore52: While it looks like the cars and the track have made some gains in the area of safety, the memories of the disaster that occurred at Texas is not far enough in the past to even consider going back yet. Bad decision.

by **Ben Atkins** Wed Jan 29, 2014 6:25 am

BenAtkins50: I'll see how Formula Overdrive at Charlotte, Homestead and Chicagoland goes before I bash the officials for making the call.

BenAtkins50: Chances are if those three races are clean, particularly Charlotte, then I'll go for it. I had a blast driving the Avril at Rockingham and I'd love to do it again.

BenAtkins50: Don't count it out. RT: @AtkinsFan84 Are you gonna run #FormulaOverdrive at Oulton too???

Cassandra02: Oh look. You're being closed minded. Again. RT: @JOlenick Any driver who willingly participates in that race is clearly not mentally sound.

JOlenick @BenAtkins50 I know as well as you do the risks of driving any vehicle, under any conditions, whether on a race track or an everyday road. Don't be patronizing just because you don't agree with my stance on this.

JOlenick @BenAtkins50 There's an acceptable level of risk you take as a racing driver, I think we can agree...But to elevate that risk unnecessarily is insane, and FO at Texas is beyond that level of acceptable risk, in my opinion

JOlenick @Cassandra02 If you think my opinions are so insulting, ignore them. Unless it makes you feel really good to "call people out". In which case, I feel sorry for you.

BenAtkins50: Not all the teams are at the test. 37 cars at the test.

BenAtkins50: Proline GP a bit off the pace. @HarrietWallace fast of them three, currently 13th on the board. Smith P19 and Hamlett P25.

BenAtkins50: Kwik Fit and STS Racing Inc seem to be the quality on the larger tracks again. @Cassandra02 top of the board, Macintosh P5. @TanyaCarterSTS P4 and Akira Tsukari P3. However, @LaurieCollins P10 and @Giordanoemi P16. Interesting.

BenAtkins50: Snowdrift also looking good. P7 and P8.

BenAtkins50: Got many fans asking me who is in P2. My girl @HannahPercy28 is there! Kellan Rogers in P6, so Atlantic looking really good too.

BenAtkins50: Moretti GP is REALLY mixed. Barney Ward currently P12 but Verity Logan currently P35?!?

BenAtkins50: @CRosinski92 only driver I haven't mentioned in the top 10. P9. Matt Tremblay P11.

RG-IDI-86@GLM'86: Yeah their D many be good but that offense isn't the best. Hell the toughest team they've played recently is San Fran and they barely got by them.

GLM'86@RG-IDI-86: True, but this is the toughest D that Peyton has faced all year as well. It's going to be a great game regardless.
