DQ's and other tough calls

So it's REI night at the track. Everyone's a little keyed up by the size of the crowd, and I mean everyone. Luckily, no injuries that I know of, although there were many opportunities. First notable one I saw was in the Keirin final, when Donimator was DQ'd for not putting himself in harms' way to catch the motor, as he was in the '1' slot. Two fairly seasoned veterans were in front of him, and most would say either of them could have been mistaken for a motor-sucking wanna-be all the way through turn one. I would not fault Don for keeping his nose out from under those two until the backstretch for safety reasons alone, since taking the wheel of the motor before then would mean passing on the left of two riders in the turn, before anyone was really up to speed. Not worth the risk of having someone come down on top of you with a serving of spoke spaghetti. But Don was DQ'd. The saga will continue, as Don filed a formal protest.

Later that same evening, in the glorious Madison, I experienced a flashback to last July, when I was hooked by a rider moving uptrack without a shoulder check. (Said rider, by the way, drew an obvious 'oooh' from the crowd this night with his patented stiff-armed split-second swing uptrack. I did not notice whether a shoulder check was given, but it is physically more difficult to a) turn the head when stiff arming the bars, and b) avoid unsafe and uncontrollable body lean while pulling up.) But back to the Madison. This time, I figured out a way to freeze this behavior, and was warned for 'profanity.' Hmph. I don't have a problem with the call, as the squirrelly rider was warned as well, and I am generally not a fan of profanity, but it got me thinking. The profane words I used probably saved a crash, and the word we are supposed to use (which I yelled loudly before the profanity) had absolutely no good effect, and may have even instigated the problem, quite possibly because it sounds so much like another profane word. The suggested word is 'stick.' Take a guess what some guys (mostly squirrelly, inexperienced kids with more speed than sense) do when they hear this word behind them, uttered by someone who has most likely lost all saliva necessary to form the 's' sound! Maybe they figure they should hook that jerk behind them who is calling them names! Anyway, it doesn't work often enough, and another reason I suggest we use another word is because I guarantee this one has the same effect on the kids in the stands who are turning to their parents asking why the racers are calling each other that nasty word. Suggestions? It needs to be one-syllable, and not start with 's.' Let's start a revolution, and keep track racing safe!
