Re: Crate Motor Class
I will second on that on seeing Brandon getting in and out of that car. You should have asked santa for a bigger car or door.

Beard, Notice I said "work" and not $$$$. You don't necessarily have to spend a fortune... Just my opinion.

Re: Crate Motor Class
Brandon,
Don't ever loose that passion for racing... I look forward to meeting you at one of the races. Your dad and I already know each other and have raced each other several times... I think he has the advantage and seem to be a good guy.. I know he likes Fords & Mustangs... Thats what I enjoy most about Racing is the people & friends you make its great.. Don't give up that dream on running your car in NHRA, Stock or Super/Stock, you will love it. Same problems, just different faces & poor payouts.... But its great to have choices where you can go and race.... I have been telling racers that for years and I like the way IHRA treats the little guys... Like it was years ago, when racing was much more Fun... But like Terry said, with the way things are we are lucky to still have places to Race.. Terry, your comments are dead-on about sportsmen racing & Ego's... Yes, we are so lucky to have a places to Race... But, I think a Racer association is necessary in the future of Drag-racing ...Thats why I think we need more All Star & East Coast racing associations. They will be the where the Sportsmen Groups will have something to offer if they can only STICK together as one... We have a lot to offer if its presented right and band as one group... But, I think it will take all of these splinter groups first, then have our own Sportsnational kind of thing... We are beginning to see these groups have $ 5-10 k races and all in only one day of racing. .(saving on expenses)...But, I think its still a ways off, depending on what happens with NHRA & IHRA in the future.... The roundy/roundy guys stuck together many years ago and Nascar is the final outcome ...It will take time & a person with a Vision. Nice to have a dream , Time will tell.............. |
Re: Crate Motor Class
Too many Mike's...I don't know who is talking to who...lol.
It still amazes me the number of Class Racers who hate using the terms "shoe polish" and "bracket racing". Amazing, because for the majority of us, that's what we do 90% of the times in the eliminator. I'm sure everyone likes being the fastest car in his/her given class. I know myself it's been gratifying to look in copies of Nitro Joe's end-of-year stats and seeing myself in the top spot. And, sure, we all love to win class or a heads-up run or two. But still, it's mainly a, *gasp*, shoe polish bracket race in the eliminator 90% of the time for most of us. Doesn't matter whether it's NHRA, IHRA, Stock, Super Stock, GT, hood scoops, Production, FWD, Pure Stock, whatever. And, we all have our given rules we have to comply with, in regards to chassis, engine, still have to pass teardown, etc. Just because some racers to choose a different route than you, does that make them better, or worse, than you? Certainly not. And, for the life of me, I still don't know why some want to change the way we do things in Class Racing. Maybe I just don't "get it". If you like to go fast, qualify high, and win class against other fast cars, if that's your bread and butter, you can do that. If you can not either afford, have the knowledge to, or choose to willingly go fast but prefer the skills it takes to cut a light and drive the stripe against some of the best in the world, you can do that also. Some can do both very well. There is something here for everyone, it seems to work for the most part, and I say don't change what isn't broken? Buff Daddy |

..some always call this a glorified bracket race. but thats NOT TRUE...I guess.thats mostly guys that dont care or dare to take the challenge "to win thier Class".. there is nothing really wrong with the way NHRA class is run and what classes we have now..the factors and rating will allways be "the talk in the pits"..part of the fun? New Ford's and Challengers in the breed now..soon something new to "bitch about" Pomona is filled in S and SS too! |
Re: Crate Motor Class
