Deegan clearly tried to interfere with Jett's fast lap in practice 1. That shouldn't be okay
Damn! That's a long list!
Dear Lord…
I have no problems with the penalties but if you have that many red cross/red light jumping violations there is something systemic going on and it should be looked at internally to understand why.

Well...I can appreciate that they are following the rule book and being consistent.
No complaints from me...but wondering if we have traveled too far away from discretion. But for now i am happy.
great job on the AMA, those guys are killing it.
I think discretion is ok until the incidents start occurring frequently. Then it’s time to enforce according to the rulebook so that everyone gets the message.
I'm curious why cutting outside the track markers was a one position penalty last week, but Mumford was assessed a point against his license for the same thing this week?
He wasn't trying to interfere. Deegan was just cleaning the mud out of his tire. Normally the tire works better without mud in the grooves.
That's what I was thinking.
Either there was a visibility problem or an attitude problem.
One should be punishable. The other, not so much.
Welp...that's a point to cuntgan I guess. Suckered Jett into a penalty.
Gee and you claim Deegan is in Jett's head when clearly Jett is in yours, you can't help yourself yet call out others hating on Deegan
I wouldn't be surprised if he yelled out/mocked/laughed at Jett hence the gesture but we will likely never know .. oh well who cares, Jett got rightly penalized for it
🤣🤣🤣
Long over due, in my opinion. If there are rules then they need to be abided by. Dish this out each week and the racers will keep it in the back of their mind.
Damnnn that list is longer then a CVS receipt lol
Seems like the appropriate time for this again -
Eh...only a couple o people get your reference.
Oh well. I dropped a Wil Hanh knowing how Seth was doing reference in another thread and i got crickets
Comedy is hard.
Pit Row
Shows how many watch the post-race press conference.
What's a point against your license mean. How many can you get?
I don’t think it matters, Friese probably has 50 points against his license and is still lining up lol
😀...But... somehow we persevere V.I..., To do our best to bring light heartedness to Vital.
It's a trail less rode but a rewarding one I believe,...with always an invitation to others to join us.
It takes a Village...
It's pretty serious. It used to be called, "Double Secret Probation", but they renamed it for the 2026 season to make it sound scarier.
HOLD ON!
Did we just figure out what happened to Vince this past weekend???
He was on some Fantasy teams this past weekend but never lined up? Did he finally end up on the pro-bated list?
Did the AMA just hire Weston Peick to be the enforcer?
Having just looked it up. Here’s a screenshot of what’s relevant for points penalties:
I look at the rise in small penalties in all sports as the control mechanism for gambling we arent supposed to realize. Especially the pit lane ones at Monaco last week in F1.
Easy to change results around when you do it this way.
Remember the incidents in supercross when several 450 riders jumped on a Red Cross flag and in the 250 main event Jo, who was leading, rolled a jump with red lights and was passed by riders who ignored the lights and jumped anyway? If it’s an attitude problem, they fostered it with the “leader light” and related bullshit that they came up with to justify their decision to not penalize anyone.

Maybe the systemic issue is a lack of enforcement
Even worse, im always surprised at how clueless the podcasters are. Now some of it is timing, as in their podcasts are produced before all available interviews and/or info becomes available, but the amount of times these podcasters discuss topics without facts or answers that are available to them via post race interviews and looking at lap times etc is alarming.
