Stews said I cant curse in public after a race. I asked them if they ever heard the public after they make a bad DQ? They still weren't impressed.

So in the Stewards' eyes, you have to be Mother Theresa? I swear every five minutes when I am at the track, I am going to try and swear in front of a steward next time I am at Arlington, see if I get fined
More so, I have seen Calabrese and Catalano come to blows after a race and they didn't get fined. Not only were they swearing, programs/hats/pens/shirts were flying around like a tornado.
F'n Stewards, they need to lock 10 people in a room for a whole year and let them make all the decisions, instead of having stewards per track, so we can have some consistency
