Re: Indy Teardown Warning
Yes, if I'm causing a hit or taking a hit, I want to know it's right. Even with Indy not causing a hit, that should be the threshold. J.R.

Re: Indy Teardown Warning
So.... I come in to this game as a willing participant, knowing its going to take some work, and all I get is flamed by the "current" racers for questioning the rules? (Ran a few races and got my *** kicked.)
Thanks for the invite! "rolled eyes" "Read Newbe" I have figured out that I should have done some more homework on the class I chose ... #mybad Thanks to all of you that have encouraged me to come back out with the car, It is much appreciated! Challenge Accepted! |

I get the "newbe" thing. I get the questions. If you don't like being "flamed by the current Racers" then you might try dialing back the sarcasm just a bit (or is it just my read). Read the rules and play the game the way that you're comfortable playing the game. It's all part of the "homework". The written rules are IMHO, very vague at best. But no-where in the rules does it say that you have to cheat. Racers make that decision for themselves.

I didn't have anything to do with the current system or rules or how they got there. I've never petitioned NHRA for anything but I do follow the rules as written so I take exception to some of the remarks being made. They are welcome to check my heads with whatever they got, digitizer or stick their finger wherever they like! But what annoys me more than the cheating comments are the guys that come up here day after day with their negative comments about what it used to be or what a waste of money it is to give NHRA my money. Like I said before if they don't like it, move on and get a life I think judging by the "likes" my last comment got about this I speak for alot of people. It's that simple!

I have to believe those who complain the most about the NHRA getting tough again on inspections are the ones who cheat the most. Last edited by X-TECH MAN; 08-24-2019 at 01:36 PM. |

That is such friendly, warm and accommodating stance to take, Mr. Williamson. Is the title of this thread "Indy Teardown Warning"? Wouldn't that include former racers with experience in teardown at Indy? Wouldn't that include shops that assist racers in preparing cars that go to Indy? I don't see anyone here trying to influence policy. I do see opinions, positive and negative. If someone posts opinions you personally disagree with, use the blocking function and we'll all sleep easier. Last edited by Tom Broome; 08-24-2019 at 10:46 PM. |
