The most beautiful woman in the world screaming in frustration

[clwill]

Just exactly what is a "ding dong?" I know Dolly Madison used to sell a version of them.

No, Randy, she said "ding-ding", that's a small bell

 

[Boo]

Yeah that's two ding's not just one ding and a dong!....Either way sounds painful!

 

[d'kid]

Nope, your right Steve and Russ... Don't ever show emotions in public... After all, what will people think... how will it reflect on US... Believe me when I say what she showed was tame compared with what was coming out of my mouth during the audiocast, and that's coming from a Matt Smith Fan...

No more High Fives after winning... I mean Marty the One Man Party shows No Class... And how DARE WJ grin when his son won, or say I don't care about that Countdown $hit on camera...

Now is the real problem here that she's female? Or is your problem "Big Boys Don't Cry or Show Emotion"? Guess What? Real Men do cry in frustration, loss, and say things alot worse than Start M/F...

Just thinking about it makes me cry.

I have this picture in my mind about pro stock bike racers leaning forward and going over bumps on a their bikes and whether or not one driver would have an advantage over the other with or without "ding-dings" in their pockets. I think I'll leave that one alone.

Angelle's team worked hard to get back on track. Losing the way she did in the final would make any grown person cry.

Hmmm. How many National Event finals have you been in?

awesome post randy! still no answer either, i bet we can guess how many if someone shows a ton of emotion it shows how much they want it and how competitive he or she is. i have no problem with emotion after a huge win or loss, as long as it doesnt rub it in to your competitor. remeber how emotional micheal jordan was? crying with his 1st championship trophy. i wanted angelle to win so bad, especially for george bryce. the wins will come, thats a great team!

Sorry, had to stop for dinner... continuing thought...

Oh, and someone should tell Cruz that you don't cry on camera in your rookie season...

And No Suzie Q... I don't wanna even think about it...

Karl,

Your sarcasm was not lost on me. Because I am composed and without emotion it does not bother me.
There is a place for emotion, and certainly this sport generates alot of it.
As a driver, I do better when I keep my emotions in check. Come to think of it, when I speak I do better when I keep my emotions in check. Emotional displays are not an accurate barometer of competitiveness.

Russ,
The first paragraph was only partially sarcastic... for the most part, that was how a young male was taught in the fifties and sixties... Appearance is everything... don't dare show emotion, it's not manly.

Which is why I got involved with Drag Racing... none of the Jock BS...

I feel sorry for people that can't show emotion.

Sounds like he is in the don't keep score, everyone is a winner, make sure everyone gets to play, and don't hurt anyones feelings crowd.

Besides wondering how many National Event finals he's been in, I was also curious if he has a car owner, sponsor, fans and the media to answer to after any one of his runs that gives him his self proclaimed "so I meet the requirement to call it as I see it" comment.

IMHO The older she gets the hotter she looks.

And words from the Snake from years ago (a good loser is a loser)
Did you ever see Snake or Big after a loss and how about Force with that double red light a few years ago? John even went into the tower with it.

 

[Dave]

Can somebody post some photos of Russ's car? I'd really like to see what an emotionless Drag Racing Team looks like.

[Randy]

I'll take a composed driver/rider over an emotional one every time. Win with class, lose with dignity - no matter by what means either happened.

Hey Russ:

I think it was Mike Rice in the shut down area who told me you were kicking my car and stomping around after your .008 red light against Von Smith second round at the Summit Racing Nationals in Las Vegas this year. I had a hard time believing it myself until I saw the boot marks on the fender.

Just kidding, of course.

I don't blame her at all for expressing frustration after not being able to get the bike started. Not only is Angelle extremely competitive, she is accustomed to success. She's accomplished a lot during her career, and I'm sure she has come to expect to be able to achieve similar results today. Sunday was her first final round appearance since Reading of last year. In her final round at Reading last year, she crossed the centerline and was DQ'd. Before that, she reached the final round in Denver where she went red. As a multi-time National Champion, only reaching the final round 3 times 14 months would be frustrating enough. To lose the way she did Sunday would be upsetting to anyone.

It's Hostess brand. I think Melanie Troxell was on the Ding Dong box with Danica and someone else.

Thanks Randy, you beat me to it. If needed I can also post pics of the A/Fuel car I've been in. As well as the TAFC and the nostalgia injected nitro dragster I'm currently driving. I'd post a smiley face here, but that might be seen as being emotional and not jive with my robotic personna.

 

[willy]

I have a sneaky suspicion that if Suz kicked either a 'ding ding' or a ding dong'..there would be emotion showing..oh yea..except for Steve..he would keep his composure on national television..hey..like he said "High emotions???, I call it lack of self control."

My point again..what Angelle went through was like a kick in the Steve's.

Better not. You wouldn't want anyone to think you're ringing your own ding-ding.

Do you read what you post? What the hell are you referring to???? Where in my post do I allude to any of your illusions?
I`m the only one here to take her to task. That show of "emotion" was more consistent with someone pleading to a gunman for their life . Then she runs off the bike and "cowers" in a corner. Is this what we want televised from a professional driver, male or female??? And what does the fact she has won a national event (and I havent ) got to do with my observation that she keeps showing the sport that she is too thin-skinned to handle adversity at this level? Dont let something like the facts get in the way of your opinion, John.
