Judge throws the book at Jon Field

[Sean O'Gorman]

...or maybe not. Maybe the judge was a racer once upon a time. ;)

His pocketbook doesn't appear to be hurting (http://www.trackbytes.com/news.php?id=2698).

This never would have happened if he'd stayed in the Grand American! :gomer:

[Sean O'Gorman]

No mention of why there was speculation over the past month?

I don't equate 12 years probation to getting the book thrown at him. He should do hard time for stealing $1 mil. He should get worse for stiffing hard working contractors who are trying to earn a living and feed their families. I'm surprised slimebags like this don't get whacked more often. :mad:

[Sean O'Gorman]

I was joking about the book being thrown at him. And I don't have a problem with the penalty. I would rob each and every last one of you to pay for my racing if thats what it came down to.

I always have my hand on my wallet in your threads anyway!

They didn't call it Grand Touring Pharmaceutical for nothing, Jon Field is equivalent to a kid stealing a pack of gum in a candy store compared to the likes of the Whittingtons!

ps - Never heard of Jon Field, but I remember Mike Thackwell

Ted Field, now there was a car owner

Never heard of Jon Field

Unless I am mistaken I think that someone who post here (well at least use to, I do not recall seeing him recently, but who has a friend who still post here) actually worked on the house that he built a few years ago. At least so he told me at one of our race watching parties in the Columbus area.

Don't you drive around cones in a parking lot? :laugh:

Ted & Jon are related somehow, I want to say Father & Son, but I can't remember.

Have you tried it? Its immensely more fun than sitting in a grandstand watching a struggling racing series that doesn't care about its fans.

And for the record, I don't know what there are more of, autocrossers who have moved to road racing and become instantly successful, or road racers who have tried autocrossing and sucked at it. :laugh:

It's Clint & Jon who are son & father - Ted is of no relation to my knowledge.

I know about Clint & Jon (and Jon's brother Joel, who used to race with them), but I'd have sworn they were related to Ted as well. The fact that Ted ran Interscope and Jon/Clint run Intersport doesn't help things.

[Sean O'Gorman]

I swear I read they were related too.
