But it was and it was also implied that the “kid” had a car that he neither was qualified to race nor purchased.

As long as we continue to complain about the few young men and women in this sport. largely driven by jealously and/or some self righteous, self serving notion that these “kids” haven’t paid their dues and therefore are undeserving of the Car they race and their successes, the future of drag racing is doomed and it will die with the moniker of the old man sport that it has become.

Ya know Ed, I didn't read that anywhere. You're assuming.

General Services Administration. Just the mere mention has our enemies quaking in their boots. Sorry Ed, talking about Military Service, not agencies that were closed during the last government shutdown.

Hey Bill, I think that Fernandez was referring to the Girl Scouts of America.

Billy, rather than tell your story about another racer driving a faster car than you taking the first turn off you chose to state he was a "kid" and that he was driving a brand new car that was faster than your slow stocker...

that's a fact not an assumption

Just where is it "implied" that the "Kid" (person younger than me) was not qualified to race nor purchase the car? He made a big, possibly fatal mistake. All that I said was it is a nice, fast car. Whether it's faster or slower than my car is only relevant to the story for the fact that I was behind him on the racetrack.
For you to say that I implied or said anything to the contrary is an assumption on your part. And an in-correct assumption at that.

and just a little FYI Ed, over the years I have put many more "Kids" in my cars to give them a start in racing than you ever will.
Just how many "Kids" have you helped out or given a ride to over the years? Not counting your own.
