Big Chief DQ

[Bruce Fulper]

Total embarrassment. 100%. There's one simple thing about a drag race. Winning. Most of us don't live for hype. Screw that excuse. We don't enter events or Classes we know we CANNOT win. We build cars to hopefully win. Period. I don't give a crap about anything else. T-shirt sales, (Which you cannot do at NHRA events.) So that's out. Anyone worth their salt races to do one thing ~ WIN A DRAG RACE. This guy is like the kids on the losing ball team who all get a trophy. When he gets a real bullet maybe then he can compete.

Admire Big Chief...
His passion is drag racing.
Works hard and motivated to go fast.
He will be back !
Got good mojo!

I 'll never criticize someone for trying.

How many national events have you won, Bruce? The same amount as the guy in question.

The only difference is HE is there, right now, giving it all he's got.

So Bruce, how's the Matador wagon doing that couldn't go fast if you dropped it off the Empire State building? Stay with Pontiacs and leave the AMC's alone.

You can't win if your aren't there.

This is his first entry at an NHRA Pro-Mod race. He has much to learn. He knew this going in.

How many win their first Pro race these days? NONE!

The Haters continue to Hate !
There is another first time NHRA Pro Mod racer there that does not have a TV show or all the attention, Mike Bowman . He also is a long time street racer that came up through the ranks and is sitting at #3 qualifyer.
You can bet your bottom dollar Mike did not know if he could compete but did work on his stuff to be fast enough to think it was possible .
I hear nobody talking all the smack about him and his dream of being there. I don't get why there is so much BS about Chief other than pure jealousy.
How is Chief being there hurting this sport ?

I agree with you Bob!

Also many of current older Drag Racer cut their teeth on the Street back in
the 1960's.

You are right on, John.
