Re: NHRA?s reminder for Chillers at INDY
I saw nothing disrespectful with Kieth?s remarks. He?s just reiterating what the release was about. And although Ed is unbelievably abrasive, he also is right. Gentlemen, it is stated in black and white, so much so that NHRA felt the need to remind us all of the rule. No chillers outside your pits. This has nothing to do with our respected categories, it?s literally in the rule book. I don?t see what any of this has to do with Keith being a .90 racer.
It?s clear that many class racers here are upset about the rule enforcement as you see it as a disadvantage for your program, and that?s a fully legitimate reason to be upset. It feels like to me some of you are projecting this anger onto onlookers instead of the sanctioning body enforcing rules you don?t love. (This is coming from a certified class racer who can be found at the very bottom of the D2 points list)

Re: NHRA?s reminder for Chillers at INDY
If stock racers followed the rule book exactly as written in black and white most of us would be 2-4 tenths slower. We learn pretty quickly the question is what can I get away with?

As an outsider looking in, I think some of you need to just CHILL.

Re: NHRA?s reminder for Chillers at INDY
Actually, Eddie, this IS a Stock/Super Stock section that you are on! If you care to look at the list of catagories, you will notice that there are actually sections that cater to the .90 and bracket classes that you run in. I am sure that the other racers over there , that would be more interested in your opinions, skills, and "wisdom", than the Stock and Super stock racers, of which you are not, never have been, and likely never will be a part of.

Re: NHRA?s reminder for Chillers at INDY
So I have no skin in this game however i have raced TS, SG, SST and brackets and have always loved and respected STK & SS. Some of you with unlimited resources have put many of the classes out of reach for the normal working guy to build a STK eliminator car that can be competitive.
I know some STK racers that have poured 6 figures into their motor combos and I get it and respect it. But what about us small guys that might want to jump in and build a car and have fun doing it. I am just saying lets be respectful to one another, we just lost a bracket racer over the weekend at a 1/8 mile track. We are not promised tomorrow only today. If you want to flame me go ahead, I always try to be respectful and I enjoy this site a ton, Love Ken Miele for all that he does. I am retired now, but still love drag racing. Don't chase people away from this site because of ego's just saying. |
