You know how you watch those slasher movies like Friday the 13th and Halloween and without fail, the actors would do something that you know would end up in their demise? Like their friends have all been decapitated and someone hears a noise in the cellar, so they go down to investigate. . You the viewer are sitting there thinking, I’m no rocket scientist but I think it’s not a good idea to go down there pal, the killer might be… WHAM…the big ass dude in a goalie mask appears and chops them into itty bitty pieces.

It always happens like this but yet you cannot stop watching and you feel sorry for the dumb kids that obviously don’t see anything wrong with going into a dark cellar. That’s where I’m at with Jason Lawrence folks. In case you didn’t know (and if you’re reading my site and not Racer X, you need to get help) Jason got into a post race fight in San Francisco when he went with his ONE Industries teammate Josh Hansen (can’t you just see the new ONE ad campaign now, “ONE Industries, supportin the hooligans”) to talk to TLD’s Steve Boniface about something Boniface did to Hansen during the main event. Nowhere in there did ANYONE do ANYTHING wrong to Lawrence, he was just going with Hansen to…to….to do what I have no f-ing idea. There was nothing good to come out of going over with an enraged Hansen to confront Boniface. Especially if you’re just returning from a summer long suspension for being in a fight and getting thrown in jail. You know everyone’s watching you and wait, this gets better…you didn’t race that night because you were sick with food poisoning.
Have any of you ever gotten food poisoning? Well, as you can probably guess I’ve had it twice and let me assure anyone that hasn’t gotten it, you definitely do not feel like hanging out in the pits and being someone’s Chewbacca to their Han Solo. The fact that most people in the pits do not believe for one second that he was sick is another story. I’m not even going to go there.
What he was thinking, we’ll never know. So now he’s suspended two races for his actions and there have been 8, 347 virtual trees killed discussing every angle of his actions and what he did or didn’t do over there but the fact is, he made another bad decision in what is turning out to be a career full of ‘em.
What’s funny about this whole deal is I have friends that live near him, hang with him and they tell me stories about what goes on during the week that would double the virtual tree killed count. I truly believed him when he told interviewers that he was reformed, that he has all this money in his team and if he screws up it’s his loss etc etc. This adult (not kid) is clearly not going to get it and I just see this ending badly again at some point. The people around him are of no help and they continue to point fingers at the sanctioning bodies and media for publicizing everything that he does while contending that he is good for the sport.
And I agree he is good for the sport. He has the charisma that’s needed, he has a fan base of people that like his outlaw image. Let’s not forget that image is eventually going to have to be backed up by a show of speed because fourths and fifths in the 250F class is not going to cut it here soon. I have no axe to grind with him like some in the media, I simply report on what I see, when he goes fast and wins I say good job, when he does dumb stuff, I say that also. He doesn’t like me for my “negativity” but I just call it like I see it.
And I keep seeing him going back into that cellar.
