Well we've all had incidents as we go through life like this one...someone takes offense to an innocent comment, someone has a real p!ssed off day and takes it out on the dog - whatever... there are no easy ways out and your imagination can run wild with what "might happen next".
To state the obvious - You did well restraining yourself and that's all you can really control - yourself.
A lesson to us all....you never know.... you just never know.
let it go and move on in the best of health...

Toughen up. Why did you get your boss involved and therefore, your job ? Was this an outing...no good reason otherwise. Speak to no one, answer no questions. You obviously haven't been in any real trouble before.

sorry to hear that bro, something similar happened to me.
it was a security guard at bh high school, he began chasing me on foot to try to shut the gate (one side was closed already), he was running next to my car and for me to make the gate i had to "move over" so i did, i ended up w/ inprints of his knee in my rear door
. he filed a law suit but my insurance company took care of it.
why the **** would anyone chase a car on foot
i aint stopping

Because my boss is one very powerful man in Las Vegas and he and I have a very good working/personal relationship. Better safe than sorry... I don't need any problems.

So we were all out at the track the other night, I blow a run and the official in the box tells me to either go down the track or back out, basically saying my run is over. Being that my run is blown and not wanting to post a 17-second pass, I go down the track at approx 30mph. Upon my return the same track official stops me and asks "why did you do that?" I reply, "do what?" He replies, "go down the track so slow." I go onto to explain that my run is blown and there is no need to fly down the track on a blown run. He seemed frustrated with my response and replied, "get the F**k out of here." So in turn, I reply "F**K you". I begin to drive off and he starts chasing me (on foot), mad as all hell like he wants to kill me!!! 
So naturally, I panic a little and speed up because one I don't want him to catch me.. two I don't want him to damage my car or whatever that maniac was trying to do... so I accellerate enough to get away from him... and then slow down and drive away from the speedway doing no more than 20-30mph.
The next day I get a phone call at work from someone who doesn't identify themselves asking if I was the Josh Hill that was at the track. I reply, "yes I am". So he replies, "the same Josh Hill who sped off the track?". Whoa... are you kidding me???? 
I drove out of there at like 20-30mph!!! So I reply, "actually I drove off quite calmly considering a maniac was chasing me because he has a hard time hearing "F**K you"!!!! I can't believe some people... hearing "F**K you" just sets them off. He then replies, "if you're going to be like that, we'll take it to the police" and hangs up on me. LOL... Completely bizarre... the whole thing was completely bizarre.
It gets better.... yesterday receive an email from Fiske saying that a person from LVMS emailed him saying that I almost hit a track official (the maniac about 10 ft behind my car chasing me) and that I sped off the track and they are looking for information about me??? So I give Fiske my number and welcome a call from LVMS... Yesterday I tried contacting the track to figure out what the heck is going on... if anything I should be the one looking for that maniac's information to press charges for attempted assualt.

Josh! I just got back into town and read your thread. What the heck happened? I think the guy was some F-body or Mustang lover who couldn't stand the fact that a German Sedan was running in the 11's. By the way, nice times. Did you get to run against anything good?
