I could be wrong, but I think you may be someone who at the last autocross made a hand "gesture" to a friend and I and got upset with us for standing too close to your parking spot in grid. Something else had happened that day, like maybe you had run over something (a car part, or floor jack or something) while in the pit area?
Hi, Cindy's husband here. I believe you have us mistaken for someone else. At the last autocross, the fun event, we were in our '80 RX-7. We try to make it out to as many events as possible. If you remember a big silver boat (Lincoln Mark VIII) floating through the cones at a few of the events, that was me. Cindy pretty much raced our black '98 SVT most of the season. We have been fortunate enough to not have any damaging incidents at the events. (Though I did drive the tread off of the tires at a Central KY meet on the Leach Driving Range in Richmond) You might be thinking of Joe, who ran into problems at the last event. While I don't think he would make bad hand gestures, he wasn't in the best frame of mind on that day. His diff kersploded in the last turn, shattering the side of the tranny and causing a fire as gear oil splashed onto the exhaust manifold. I don't think anyone ran over anything though.
At any rate, don't take it personal if that was the case. And welcome. We always look forward to meeting new people.
Take care,
James
