My smoke and mirrors from wind rant

Why does that show something? He dropped SC when it mattered (and all but QR). Dunkirk went on and SC got WIPED OUT, with the rest of the field.

Surely, someone who watches as many races as you do has some sense of how HUGE Dunkirk's run was that day given the setup (and the way the track was playing).

And, you don't really take anything Haskins writes seriously, do you?
