So what did Hacking say?

Papa_Complex · 03-23-2009, 12:41 PM

A Canadian motorsports journo who occasionally uses my shots is implying that Hacking's comments (the ones that got him suspended) were about DiSalvo. Has anyone got the inside track on this?

*EDIT* Nevermind, I picked up some of it. Too bad the best of it wasn't apparently on tape.

from a friend......

Hacking and DiSalvo exchange a few words.

LINK

Moderator: "Alright guys..."
Hacking: "Do you have a microphone? They can hear you."
Moderator: "Let's finish up here and be respectful...let's finish up these interviews."
DiSalvo: "Let's show a little respect here."
Hacking: "I lost all respect for you a long time ago."
DiSalvo: "I never had any for you."
Moderator: "We're not going to get into it here. Let Jason finish his interview and then we'll have questions. Thank you."
DiSalvo: "You got me all fired up here."

After the interviews end, Hacking walks away using profanity. He and Eslick walk out and DiSalvo stays behind answering another question. Later on you hear the AMA officials consider discipline (not on tape).

and then....

Jamie Hacking has been suspended for the above incident...HOWEVER, I DON'T BELIEVE IT WAS BECAUSE OF THE INTERVIEW!

It’s my belief Hacking has been suspended and fined BECAUSE he has been outspoken about the DAYTONA class! Yesterday at the podium ceremony, when Jamie Hacking was asked about his thoughts on his 2nd place finish and the race he said: "I won the 600s race." You heard many fans yell out in agreement and some fans continued to yell out throughout the interview their disapproval of the bike disparity. I then caught a few AMA officials talking about the situation that Hacking was creating with his dissenting and controversial comments. The sense I got was they were going to address the issue somehow.

The press conference where Hacking and DiSalvo exchanged words came 15-20 minutes later, and the profanity AMA is reporting was NOT during the interview itself, but as Hacking walked out of the room. I believe the AMA used this as a pretext to censor Hacking for his comments regarding the controversy surrounding the Daytona class.

You heard it here first!

Go Spies!

Someone pissed about his 600cc being beaten handily by an 1125 cc? Why in the world? Someone pissed because the sanctioning body scared away his manufacturers superbike effort, forcing your contract to finish out on a 600cc? What is he angry about?

I'm so confused....

Jamie has had serious issues with DMG the whole time. No one knows what he whispered to Eslick during Disalvos interveiw, but Disalvo was talking with Eslick during Hackings interveiw.

What we do know is Disalvo tried to make something out of it and Hacking let his steam vent. BTW he was not the only one suspended this weekend...

Additionally, AMA Pro Road Racing also placed riders Michael Beck, Kevin Boisvert, Mat Mladin, Mark Simon and Dustin O'Hara on probation due to failure to participate in Sunday's mandatory autograph session.

It was mentioned on several boards that once DMG bought the series, they would quickly rewrite the rules so the buells would start winning...so they can attract the boat anchor crowd...Bruce Rossmeyer's bike won...Owns Daytona Harley Davidson and Destination Daytona Complex in Ormond beach...

Why would anyone be surprised at this??? Welcome to Two Wheel Nascar!
