I thought that was what a diaper was for?

Tommy,
I'm not worried about you blowing your **** up, but it's the fire I'm concerned with, please make me your designated Fireman ! There will be beer involved I'm sure !
Still cold as **** out and I'm pre-packing in the shop. Leaving here on the 7th.
You know what I like about you ?

I don't like getting fined any more than any one else. But we get a freebie and we have diapers.

So if I blow my stuff up bad enough to get past the diaper causing me to use my freebie and then later blow it up again bad enough to get past the diaper and have to pay the fine, I think the fine will be the least of my problems.

Maybe NHRA could do something FOR sportsman racers instead of TO them....

How about overseeing the contingency program like it used to be. If a company hung you out on a payment the nice lady in Ca. would step in and get you paid....Her name was Shirley Bunce. She got things taken care of right quick.....The last time I was owed a payment the NHRA person in charge I spoke to was about as helpfull as.... nothing......I am told pretty regularly by Div 1's resident standup comedian

that payments from some companies are coming on a slowboat from China....

Thanks NHRA for administering this program so well.......

How about NHRA listens to it's racer reps and makes rules that agree with their input. The reps have unanimously voted to allow something and NHRA Tech decides something different is needed. A brake issue that is well known by dragster racers......Give us a reason with specific examples of how or why it is necessary to defeat something that car builders put in cars strictly for the racers safety....

Better look out Tommy, I'm running S/G all year, can't wait to line up against you.
I should be in the 150mph range, enough to put that fire out when I come around you.
Only in America !
