Herbert Fires Poynter

[Jenn]

I think it is unfair to throw anyone under the bus when you don't know the facts. Frankly, it is none of our business!

I agree Suzie, but I thought the Bazumba Brigade was a plane, not a bus I should get back to work now

Haaahahahaa! Good one! Now go get some Oreo's and a glass of milk!!!

 

[Suzie Q]

p.s. - Susie, Kevin would like Jim-o to call him when he has a chance.

I will pass on the message!

Save your breath Jim. The "Herbert Haters" have had to wait far too long, this time, to bash away at Doug and here's their chance to vent all that pent-up frustration while things went smoothly far longer than they could stand.

Oh heck, I just reacted to some of the folks who seemed quick to judge. Just thought, in spite of the Dougzilla image, Doug had been unusually sensitive to Wayne's situation and I never felt the loyalty was reciprocated.
I have no more knowledge of the situation than the next guy (Less, in fact.). I was 'kinda surprised because I thought Herbert was having a pretty good year. In this business, people get fired - I'm sure Mr. P. will fit in somewhere.

Just to clear the air, the facts are the facts on the issue of Kevin being fired by Doug. The statements made were done in good taste, without throwing anyone under the bus - even though we all know the truth about Doug. Kevin and I only wish the best for ALL of the drivers and crew members out at the track.

Kevin is one of the most dedicated guys I know to the sport of drag racing, and has earned the respect that he so deserves, as does any other person out there that pours their heart and soul into it. I only wish that Doug realized what he had in his team with Kevin, Keith and the crew. You guys are the best!

And, as far as all of the rumors going around about Keith Stewart and the crew members that did not walk off the job or stand up to Doug when Kevin was fired goes, we still love them, and we respect the fact that they need a paycheck. Some of them, including Keith, have children, and families to support. And, we hold no blame on them for a decision that was solely made by one man.

Racing goes on, and so will Kevin!

p.s. - Susie, Kevin would like Jim-o to call him when he has a chance.

And thats why I love you both!!!!

All I know is that I talked to Kevin in G-ville and he is one of the nicest people at the track. Hopefully he'll land at a top level team (*cough*Army*cough*) next year.

Terri...we've never met,but I did get a chance to talk to Kevin at Brainerd this year.I'd just like to say that I think it's obvious Kevin has a bright future in racing , and will make a fine addition to whichever team is wise enough to grab him. He'll add class and intelligence wherever he lands.It's Doug Herberts loss...

I'm sure he'd do well there. I'd prefer (*cough*Powers*cough*), though.

Not to mention he's good looking! Of course, now that I know that he's married to some woman named Terri

Every women has to defend their man!

 

[Jenn]

Every women has to defend their man!

Well, what's your source then?

 

[Paul]

Well, what's your source then?

A friend of a friend . Sorry Jenn, I couldn't resist.

 

[Al smith]

Every women has to defend their man!

And why would she need to "defend' an action that you allege he did of his own free will?

 

[Jenn]

A friend of a friend . Sorry Jenn, I couldn't resist.

I was going to say that too, so thanks.
