Mr. Sgro, No-one Can Take Away Your Extensive Career And Numerous Wins, But Do You File Protest Every Time You Lose?

I Would Have Thought Real Racers Would Only Be Satisfied By Getting Results On The Race Course, Not Crying Afterwards And Especially When They Dont Even Finish The Race....but That's Just My Opinion

Getting Off My Soapbox, I Want To Add That Craig, James And Team Fountain Worldwide Have Nothing To Do With This Thread. I Wish Them Best Of Luck In Marseille.
It wasnt Sgro that made the protest!

You Long island boys love to stir the chit and you will defend your own(Joe Sgro) with blind passion wich is actually admirable in a disturbed sort of way
Your guess would be wrong,why do you think wcmarine did not mention his engines were not the same ones he submitted dyno sheets for?

First of all, how could you even get mad at the protest if it was completely legitimate, and their points were taken away? The fountain was penalized 100 points because they did not follow the rules and use dyno'd motors like everyone else did! Why would they not use the motor that had been dyno'd, if they had nothing to hide? So the protest was completely legitimate, and was decided fairly. However, they should have the points from both races taken away if they used non-dyno'd motors for both races! Second, Joe Sgro did not even put in the protest, he had nothing to do with it! So because the OSG team had protested we must ASSUME that it was Joe Sgro? HAH, and how can you say "Once Again" they were protested, when the OSG/Outerlimits team and Joe Sgro have never protested a race before?
Follow the rules and teams wont protest! And if you did nothing wrong your points wont be taken away!
