no prob. i watched em erlier, lots of door shots!! i happen to make 2 of the several i seen. very hard hitting derby. track was perfect. congrats Lee Day on your win and Jon Rajsl on yours!! Couldnt have asked for a better derby and if the crowd was not satisfied, then they dont know a good derby when they watch one. Cowley derby will be hard to beat by any chain derby for sure. Good luck to all the drivers on their next even. Hope to see you all in Harper and Caldwell.

I would like to say that I am proud of my wife, Kiley, for going out there and giving it her best. She has always wanted to go out and give it a shot and can now check driving in a demo derby off her bucket list.

Tiler...you got a driver's door on the same car your brother tried to drive through the passenger's side door at Harper last year.
I had a huge driver's door hit on the Fastenal car right in front of the stands and a judge. The judge said he pulled forward causing me to hit it. I apologized to Gary for the hit!
Aaron, she did awesome. Those last couple hard shots at the south end of the arena made her say "screw this". She had an awesome car and did very well driving it!
I hate watching those videos and realizing you screwed up. In the first heat there were three of us moving at the end. The other two were hung up. So what do I do...drive through the two hung up and now five cars are moving! I hit the hung up car too hard and broke my battery box causing me to take two big shots later in the heat. Those two shots made me loose my steering. Frustrating. Lol

I was going to watch the video first before I said anything but this has been eating at me. Heat two I was flagged of a sandbagged and I wasn't too pleased. Watched the whole video and I didn't see anything that would determine that. Watch heat two and tell me if you agree. Do I regret a few things? Yes. My car had all street tires because I thought it would be dry. I was in a good heat with good drivers. And it came down to myself, john, lee, and Shane. Three very experienced drivers and I who had been in 5 1,2,3,4,5,!!!!! Whole derbies. To be honest I probably should have run the rookie heat. If your just slinging that yellow flag around to do it at least give them a warning first. I implore you to go back and watch heat two. It was hard hitting from start to finish. I'm just venting now from frustration. To lee john and Shane thanks for a good heat I enjoyed it.

I'm just venting now from frustration. To lee john and Shane thanks for a good heat I enjoyed it. my night started in the inspection line when I cut everything and did everything and they started telling me to cut factory stuff off the car and get told to load it up witch I should have and gage I watched it, just like when I watched the finals and when the red flag was out because of shane getting hurt an asshole thinking he was a official was telling me to brake my flag because i only had one gear and that was drive and so i flipped him off, of course the black car at the end was still not moving remind u, once I did that he started to walk to me so I got out of my car broke my stick and walk across and broke the yellow flag and through them in the track then told him to go F-himself but of course nobody could move so they did the one thing brandon said he was not going to do and said it more then once, I WILL NOT SEPERATE CARS, even if it was demend unsafe, but they made me brake my flag because I couldnt move and i was in the same boat everyone was in at the same time at the end.

I was told in the pits by another driver that Jon and Lee wanted pulled apart because Lee had the last hit and he's a respectable driver who said he didn't want to win like that. I give the two of them the upmost respect for wanting to derby it out, put on a show, and drive their cars. I don't find that as BS but a respectable thing to do.
Having said that I will say I'm not sticking up for Brandon or Tony....they are big boys and can take care of themselves. I'm saying I would have made the same choice if I was in that situation.

My problem with it was he said he wouldnt do it even if it was un safe, I understand wanting to derby it out, im my eyes if they wanted to derby it out then lee could of hit jon to get him unhooked, but everyone was hooked I was down at the end and they didnt unhook me hell no I was told to brake my flag, sad to say it but nothing was called and the only thing they was doing was trying to get the crowd a little more and it bit them in the ass lmao what i think was the funniest was when I got out and broke my flag and thrown them crowd went crazy, and then everyone started leaving, so in my thought WOW way to use me a as ginny pig to get the crowd going, but I dont really care its done and over with, jon and lee deserved the win they worked and drove there asses off

ILL THROW MY HAT IN THE RING.. GOOD ,FAIR INSPECTION. GOOD OFFICIATING,AWESOME PAYOUT,GOOD TRACK NOW THAT ITS BEEN WIDENED AND THE TRACK SURFACE WAS GREAT JUST THE RIGHT MIX OF TACKINESS AND ENOUGH SLIP TO SPIN AROUND. NOW, TO THE END. I HAD JUST HIT SHANE, WAS TRYING TO GET UNHOOKED WHEN HE BAILED OUT, LEE MADE THE LAST ACTUAL HIT ON THE BLACK NUMBER 7 CAR AND LEE WAS ALSO HOOKED THEN. AFTER SHANE WAS CHECKED OUT BRANDON CAME OVER TO LEE AND TOLD HIM HE HAD THE LAST HIT AND HE HAD IT WON, BUT OFFERED HIM THE OPTION OF PULLING LEE AND I LOOSE SO WE COULD BATTLE IT DOWN TO THE END. BRANDON TOLD US IF EITHER OF US SAID TO NOT PULL US APART IT WAS OVER AND LEE HAD IT WON. I WASNT GOING TO GET LOOSE AS I HAD A BROKEN DRIVERS SIDE AXLE AND WAS JUST DIGGING A HOLE. WE BOTH KNEW THAT THE DERBY SHOULDNT END LIKE THAT WITH FIRST AND SECOND HOOKED UP ON 2 DEAD CARS SO WE AGREED TO PULL US APART AND FINISH IT.I KNEW LEE HAD A BETTER CAR AT THIS POINT AND DID ALL I COULD TO TRY AND KEEP GOING BUT AFTER 3-4 HITS ON THE REAR OF LEES CAR MY OTHER AXLE WENT WITH A BANG AND IT WAS OVER... THIS DERBY WILL ALWAYS BE ONE OF MY FAVORITES. THE GATHERING OF ALL OUR FRIENDS IN THE PITS, THE HUGE CROWD, ENTHUSIASTIC PROMOTERS AND OFFICIALS AND ALL THE FAIRBOARD PEOPLE.. THANK YOU FOR PUTTING THIS DERBY BACK ON THE MAP......NOW WE JUST HAVE TO GET THE CHAMPIONSHIP CARS PICKED OUT.....

THANK YOU FOR PUTTING THIS DERBY BACK ON THE MAP......NOW WE JUST HAVE TO GET THE CHAMPIONSHIP CARS PICKED OUT..... ya thats what happend on ur end down there, I only had one gear and that was forward, u had a broken axle, and everyone was stuck in one spot, shane was out putting me in fourth and my car was still running, but I was stopped do to the red flag I wasnt even, sitting for more then 30seconds and that was all on red flag time, and I had this a-hole offical yelling at me to brake my stick while on a red flag, as soon as I brake and they tell the black car to brake and just left you and lee, hell if they was unhooking cars they should of come down and unhookup me too and let us three battle it out, but I shut everything down and said screaw it all. But glad everyone had a good time.

I understand what you're thinking Kevin, but that's just not the way it happened... By the time Shane blew his trans line and bailed, you had sat hung up a long time without making a hit with the #7 car currently on the clock, but had made a hit since you had... Once they broke Shane's flag (dq'ing him in 5th place spot) we started running again-you timed out, Jon was stuck on Shane's dead car, and Mr. Jones was about to time out... I went to finish him off and got hooked on him, and he broke off... That left Jon and I in the top 2 spots.... No one else was even concerned at that point in time.... Only Jon and I.... I actually had first place at the time and Brandon asked me if I was SURE I wanted them to unhook us because I could be giving up the win... We both knew we wouldn't want to watch such an anti-climatic ending with the final two cars getting hooked up, so Jon and I agreed to play it out... You can blame me if you want, actually for not asking them to pull you off... It wouldn't have mattered anyways because as far as I'm concerned, the derby was over when we got hung up... The few extra hits Jon and I made after getting unhung was nothing more than a little bonus for the crowd...
P.S. I was already typing this when Jon posted, so nothing about what he said influenced this post....

Watched that video again and it just pisses me off more. Thanks for posting them tilher. It just frustrating to know the reason I started derbying was because of sandbaggers and I got tired of seeing the same three cars at the end of this show with no hits. But this just discourages me from building another car. You the icing on the cake is a tree broke over that night and smashed three of my cars. Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh joyyyyyyyyyyyyy!!! But not near as pissed as that flag being on my damn car. And I say that because I watched the video and saw what everyone else saw. Listen to the crowd reaction, not a single boo. Tilher if you have a video of the consi could you post? If not that's fine. As for this sport I'm about done"........................................

Kevin I'm not trying to butt-hurt you or disagree with you. I actually didn't see it as I was back with Shane washing tranny fluid off his burns but I watched the video Tiler posted and heard that they broke the top two apart.
I think it's pretty stand up that Lee was willing to risk cash to put on a show for the crowd and finish out the derby by showing he had the car to beat at that point in the derby.
I really wish Kevin's car stayed together and Shane's car stayed together because those two cars along with Jon and Lee would have been well worth the price of admission to see....but hey, what's a demo derby without a little hot tempers anyways.
I can say I wished I was in the arena so I had a front row seat but my car was used up battling with Jones in the first heat. He drove the crap out of that car!

Lee im glad you get where im coming from and I understand you didnt want to win that way, its understandable, but when one thing is said and a to the point awnser was made then that needs to be the final decision, and who makes the decision on the sandbagger flag, was it the guy I told to kiss my ass or the grizzly adams looking dbag that I flipped the bird to because I seen how he was looking at me kinda made me wanna yell rape, can someone please tell him that wasnt an offer, it was me telling him to go f-him self please and thank you.
