Ride onboard with Mike Drennan for the last few turns of the NASA Spec Miata Eastern Championships. Drennan ended up being awarded the win after Hernan Palermo (black car) was disqualified for on-track contact.

wow, had my nerves tingling just watching the video. I think the guy in the silver car got the raw end of the deal. hopefully didn't receive too much damage/get hurt.
Yikes driving next to the black car acting like that on the straight.

Palermo is a dick. Pushed off the Silver car and tried to push off the other car. Glad he was disqualified.

Got what he had coming. All it takes is one bad driver to make an entire race more dangerous than it needs to be.

Yeah, he deserved disqualification after those bonehead moves on the straight.

Anything happen to Clements? I hope he got out with just a bruised ego.
Palermo is a dick

DQ & hopefully sit out for 6 months. Start increasing the fines/penalties and maybe the crap will stop.

For what it's worth....

"i have had a few days to reflect on what took place at VIR. i understand everyones position in the matter and feel 100% responsible for my actions. i dont frequent these forums and dont usually have the time or interest to pay too much attention to all the latest gossip. i am still learning as a driver, i apolagize to blake and drennan for what took place.
hernan palermo"
First step in correcting you are being an shiny happy person is admitting you are an shiny happy person.

I see three acceptable punishments. He can choose 1. Lifetime ban from the organization
Immediately walk into the paddock. Push his car to the far side and set it on fire.
Every driver in the race gets to line up and nut kick him

I would say one year ban from driving. Competition license only restored if he shows up as a worker for a minimum of 20 weekends does whatever is assigned to him without protest.
