Is it just me or does anyone else get annoyed when dads like Bob Tasca and Mike Ashley whoop it up for the camera after their kids win? They look right into the camera and act like fools (IMHO) which pisses me off. They should take take some lessons from Mamma Kay who celebrates in a civilized manner on the starting line. Act like you've been there before...

If it's the final round, and you have just won the race, I get it. Celebrate a win.
But if it's the first round and you are mugging for the camera ... come on man.

Yes. Going crazy celebrating in the first round is like the football player who celebrates a sack when his team is losing 48-3 with three minutes left in the 4th quarter.
i've always thought any team/members that celebrate in excess reflects poorly on themselves.
same with mlb baseball players that hop up and down in unison when their team wins big games/series.
the only true pro sports ultimate celebration is the team that wins the stanley cup, and gets to pass the oldest trophy in sports.

It's not like the Kalitta mosh pit in days of old... I have been on the starting line when my kid takes a round win, and yeah- I pump my fist, Tiger-style and have a bit more pep in my step walking back to the tow vehicle.
They are happy for their kid; let them have that. Momma K is a cool character, and is used to seeing round wins. Mike A. is seeing his kid start that elusive climb up the ladder that can end at any time, and Hell yeah, he's excited.

You put all that effort in tuning, training, raising funds, working the vehicle, travel and so much more. Celebrate each step. Sure I guess some can get over the top but enjoy it. I can see Team Force not celebrating round 1 but if you are still on the journey up the ladder enjoy each round

Gentlemen, those of you who decided to make it personal with another memeber here, your posts were removed. Stay on topic (as lame as it is) about parents celebrating their kids winning rounds.

Paul must be a bleeding heart. Protect the criminals, at all costs. What a joke.
I don't do Facebook.
This other member can come on here and say whatever he wants, to or about, me. I won't cry about it. Especially if it's truth.
Close your eyes Paul! It never happened!

Better delete the Force vs Hagan thread Paul! Don't want to hurt any feelers!
To think, some would wonder why there are only 10 or so of us posting here, somewhat regularly, after all these years.

Nitromater is not the place for personal attacks on anybody.
Re-reading the rules for this site might be in order for some.

I didn't see the posts as personal attacks. The person was convicted AND sentenced in a court of law. It's a fact! It was VERY newsworthy and is no secret. If I posted a link to a news article telling the story, is that also a personal attack? I'm just trying to define where FACTS somehow become personal attacks on this website, that's all....

Something like this. Just like his cult leader buddy, he threw people under the bus. And that's a FACT
Former NHRA Champion Mike Ashley Sentenced In Bank Fraud Case
Former NHRA champion Mike Ashley was sentenced last week for his role in a 2009 mortgage lending collapse. Ashley received a reduced sentence of three years in federal prison.
