Treat him as if he was not there, not show him in it or if he is in a shot with others jus block him out I believe that is one thing they could do to get his head back down to size and I know I'm not the only one. There was tons of people on that hill that said the same thing. So far (as I know) all it has cost him for his antics is about 4000 in air shocks that he gave to another racer that he drove into and then took five try before he drove over not 15 sec after they rolled. Since he was DQed it is the same as if some random spectator did it. Just my $.02.

So Shannon drove OVER a rolled vehicle?

EDIT

Found a picture

The photo does not show it to it's full. There is videos out there and he make four hard lanches at the rig till his next one got him over. With a side note,the rig behind him just drove right by him with no problem.

Was this AFTER he was DQ'd?

Can't imagine why he'd still drive like that if it was AFTER he was DQ'd.

Did he know he was DQ at 7mi?

I can't imagine that nobody would have radioed him after that long.

A_Jeeper · 02-28-2009, 11:00 AM

He thought he was in at that time. If he was not listening to his radio. But he did know at check point 3 or 4 because five people kept him there for ten min telling him he was. And he just kept going and ran the whole race.

I was wrong about one thing thought one of the guy I know was piting for the rig he ran over. And the drive said Shannon didn't give the shock. That some one else did and that Shannon did not say a thing to him.

Wow!

hmmm, I don't know what to think about that.

Rubbing is racing?

Great, I wish I could of been there for that. Next year, already making plans. Great video though.

RXcrawler · 02-28-2009, 09:05 PM

Kinda BS if you ask me. What if those guys were trying to get out of the rig that rolled, while he was bashing into them???

I'm not really familar with the rules of these types of events, but that seemed like a bit of a dick move to me.... and a tad unsafe...

2JSC · 02-28-2009, 10:26 PM

Someone else did the same thing.

Yes but they where still in the race. I think the big stink is that he was already DQ'ed and was holding up other vehicles and putting unnecessary risk on the others still competing. If I was still in the race I would have ran him over to. If I was just fun running knowing I was out I would have moved over for those that still had a chance.

mississippirocs · 02-28-2009, 10:49 PM

What I'm curious about is why Shannon was still running around 70 miles after he was DQed. And if the other guy who followed him was DQed after that stunt. I am sure that either one of those guys would have been Pissed if someone pulled that crap with them. Also I have to agree with RxCrawler, what if the driver was trying to get out at the time. He could have been seriously injured with the impact to his rig and the way it rocked around. If it was me, I know for a fact that me and those other 2 drivers would have a "meeting" after the race was over and done
