I come from a long time race family...I know the power of duct tape :). I understand his feelings, thing is..usually you just tell your family and friends. Ahh well, hope they all atleast had fun, as no one got hurt Thankfully! As I was yelling from the patio to Mr. Way…"That's racing…that's racing".

" Wow, that doesn't sound self-righteous at all. So you're defining someone's ability to race well by their career choice? Sorry, but that's a poorly supported argument to begin with. As for having your win handed to you, it's not as though Reeves just showed up and someone waltzed up to him with first place on a silver platter. He still had to complete the race. Every single one of the other competitors had the exact same opportunity to win. Danny Way didn't have to crash, and what would you have done differently, anyway? You see a crash, you avoid it. Would you have preferred Reeves go careening into the mess of metal on purpose 'just to be fair'? Grow up, stop treating the situation as though someone cheated on a board game, and let the man enjoy his well-deserved victory.

Although, seeing as how Keanu came in second to Way in the qualifications, a mere five seconds behind, I don't think him getting first in the celeb section was wholly dependent on luck. <span class="removed_link" title="http://sev.prnewswire.com/sports/20090417/NY0119517042009-1.html">http://sev.prnewswire.com/sports/20090417/NY01195...</span> …I am honoured.

I guess ;) as a side note, please allow me to remind you that the winner is the one who finishes the race ( underline finish) first. end of story. (and Way seems to lack the notion of fair-play, but that's his problem... ) well, thank you :D you're kind… in your own special way.

However I have been reading and watching the articles and videos of this race. What you failed to mention is that all cars were bunched because of a restart. Danny Way lost focus as did Fonsworth Bentley. Keanu stayed on focus, on speed, a avoided the wreck which happend only a second or two prior to him getting there. It was not just handed to him. But I know -You can't give Keanu his due no matter what right??? His fellow racers did. Well-all but Way!! Wow thanks for the write up!!!
