While prepping Teds car for another round of action at Norwalk a DRUNK GSCA Race Director Jim Carswell enters our pit looking for some trouble. Trying to defuse this drunk nut job by telling him we were busy racing, please leave us alone. There was no reasoning with the pride and joy of the GSCA he wanted to fight! As words were exchanged Carswell sucker punched my brother... Big Surprise! Carswell was quickly taken to the ground and subdued, we thought the brawl was over until Carswell continued rolling around causing major damage to Teds car dented quarter panel, door and fender.
Big thanks to Chris Lyons for stepping in to break things up. The local Sheriffs were called.
Carswell left with his buddys "The Hartline Crew"
rushed out of the track before the Sheriffs arrived.
Police reports were made, assault charges will be filed. The Sheriff notified us that Carswell has outstanding felony assault charges, he was not surprised that he fled the scene. The Ohio State Troopers were notified as to what Carswell was driving and his licence plate.
Today is a sad day for the Buick Community! GSCA directors make public physical threats to members, drive across the country attempting to follow through with them.
Way to go GSCA... Really Going Fast With Class!!!
