Re: Don O'Neal Interview On Competition Plus
It doesn’t matter to me if I am called a sportsman racer. That is what I am. I don’t race to pay bills. I race as a hobby and for enjoyment. My racing is not a business. I have never heard of Don O’Neal and he is within his right to express his opinion. He races a bracket car and that is not a pro class. Looks like he possibly has some sponsorship commitment that he wants to try to elevate by changing the impression of the class he runs. There are very few sportsman racers in NHRA that make their living from racing. He does have a good point that the announcers could do a better job by knowing the classes and competitors better.
