I think its incredibly stupid to delete any comments in topics like this. Taking away the bad and leaving the good comments arent making the situation any better and its not going to change anyones opinion on the matter. So what if he gets his feelings hurt. He couldve killed himself and someone else and deserves all of the comments he gets. Having a post deleted for calling someone a ****ing retard isnt near as bad as what couldve been said. Delete this post if you like. Im entitled to my opinion and if its not good enough for this board then ban my ass. I dont care.
I have been really busy with work the last few days so I missed this post and so did any other mod that might have read this thread..
If you have a problem with how I choose to moderate PM me or another staffer.. Do not question it here in the forums and then try to get around it or justify what you wrote.
just a reminder to all..
confronting a moderator, Questioning a mod action or trying to get around a mod action is a bannable offense.. it's in the TOS.
Since you just ignored what I said and then confronted me I am giving you a few days off from here..
WOW I understand saleen trying to stick up for himself but why are you involved
I never said you can't post negitive remarks, but what he posted was not a negitive remark it was a personal insult.. it would only start a fight and is against the sites rules.. I posted to him that there is constructive ways to post a negitive remark that is not against site rules.
If I left that insult up and then people who know and like the OP ( yes he is a respected member who help and provides info to many on here) would flame saleen and then this whole thread would go down the toilet.. Yeah that would be excellent... Maybe people would have ignored it but I have seen newer members like saleen get run off the site for flamming a respected member.
Again as I said above PM me if you have a issue with a moderator action I take in a thread..

I highly recomend open track or (HPDE) track days for everyone. It is a great way to learn what your car can do in a safe enviroement. There should be a track near just about everyone and there should be someone pimpin that track out. Be it NASA, SCCA, SpeedVentures, Redline... Someone is running opentrack near you.
For those that don't know. OpenTrack or (HPDE) is a real race track with corner workers and Fire and safety. Anyone can go and in any car. I have seen them all from VW bugs to full blown formula cars. Groups are aranged by experence and it is very safe. There are rules for passing called Point by. The car you want to pas must see you and actually point which side of the car you are to pass on. He holds his line and you go by. Each experence group has different areas for passing. Beginner is only straights and only with a point by.
A lot of people think its too expensive. The price varys track to track. Even the most expensive ones are less than a nasty speeding ticket. For actual in the seat driving time its a much better deal than 20 -30 passes on a 1/4 mile. We can get 2-5 hours of behind the wheel on the track high speed fun in one day.
I highly recomend it at least once. Careful its very addictive
That sounds like a lot of fun, I would like to try and see how I do on a road course some day
