点评:Evans Mills Raceway Park, you’ve lost my support. I’ve spent enough time, money, and effort supporting this track. Your son’s wallet. In my opinion, it has become more about collecting entry fees than providing fair and consistent racing.
Week after week, I’ve watched officiating that, in my view, is inconsistent. Rules that should be enforced on the track often aren’t enforced consistently, while other calls seem to vary from race to race. That’s unacceptable anywhere, but it’s especially disappointing in the sanctioned INEX Legends class, where racers are competing for national points and every position matters.
From my perspective, repeated inconsistencies involving on-track rule enforcement, scoring, positions, restarts, and allowing drivers I believe aren’t properly registered to compete in what is promoted as a qualifier have damaged my confidence in the integrity of the competition. Racers invest thousands of dollars in equipment, travel, fuel, tires, maintenance, and entry fees. The least they should expect is that the rules are enforced fairly and equally for every competitor, every race.
Racing should be decided by the drivers on the track—not by inconsistent officiating or what appears to be selective enforcement of the rules. That vary from minute to minute race by race.

周复一周,我目睹的裁判判罚在我看来都缺乏一致性。那些理应在赛道上严格执行的规则往往得不到一贯执行,而其他判罚也似乎因比赛而异。这种情况在任何地方都是不可接受的。不过,在受监管的INEX Legends组别中,这种情况尤其令人失望——车手们在此争夺国家积分,每个名次都至关重要。
在我看来,赛道上规则执行、计分方式、名次判定以及重新发车等环节屡屡出现不一致的情况,甚至允许那些我认为并未按规定注册的车手参加这个被宣传为资格赛的赛事,这些都严重损害了我对比赛公正性的信心。车手们投入了数千美元用于购置装备、支付差旅费、燃料费和轮胎费用。维护费用和报名费。车手们至少有权期望规则能够对每一位参赛者、每一场比赛都公平且平等地执行。
比赛的结果应当由赛道上的车手们来决定——而不应受制于前后不一的判罚,或是看似有选择性地执行规则的情况。这些判罚标准往往每分钟甚至每场比赛都在变化。
