He gated well and they could not catch him. Of all the bombs that have been set off in his face this season, I have not heard him complain once, I have not seen him show any annoyance. He just puts it behind him and concentrates on his next challenge. I would like to have seen the same restraint from the gentleman who confronted the referee, after this race. John Grant, the referee did not see the first corner incident and after the race was first verbally insulted, then physically shoved, by a man who is twice John's size.
Every referee makes mistakes.
John makes less than most. Most of the riders respect him most of the time. The referee's job is the worst job going at a Speedway track and the Auburn promoters, riders and crowd are not just fortunate, but extremely privileged to have a referee as competent as John Grant . Such treatment, is not the way to keep him. Scratch Main 1.
