Robert Ballou's Comments after Macon

Racing and gambling.….
(From Dirt Draft)

ARE GAMES OFFICIAL ONCE THE RACE IS FINISHED?
No, after the event Dirt Draft will validate the event results before marking the event results official and marking as Validated. At that point all scores and points become final. The validation period will normally happen within 12-hours of the completion of a contest.

WHAT HAPPENS IF A DRIVER IS DISQUALIFIED AFTER THE CONTEST IS VALIDATED?
After an event is validated, the event results will not be changed.

I don't care about Dirt Draft as I don't play

but it will throw this thread off kilter.

Start a thread addressing Dirt Draft, this one is about rules enforcement

It seems to me you have identified who it is that is in charge of validating the event results, BLASTER 1. IT IS DIRT DRAFT AND THE CONSORTIUM OF SPORTS BOOKS!

It brings to mind the lyric from a Nil Lara song, "it's money that make the monkey dance".

Im in agreement that if Rules were broken, and caught the punishment should fit the crime. As one person said if Bacon owned up to in front of his peers. Ballou's Ire should only be on the Sanction. But we all know they got other beefs going back a couple years.

Without the excuses as to why he didn't win, Id call Ballou the closest to Hewitt at speaking his mind that we have today.

It's not the only thing swept under the rug. I mean Drop kicking people strapped in is legal too apparently..

Wonder if he KMD'D the official if that would work.

What if the drop kick would have been the other way around? This is the sad part of having rules with "selective" enforcement!
