How do we promote sportsman type racing? - Page 11

Not a bad idea to tech some cars in somewhere other than the track. The "Off Road, Desert Racers" do not tech in at the racing venue and it creates a lot of action. Big difference between Desert racing and our racing but it could be done. I would recommend that a class rotation for tech somewhere other than the track. In Las vegas, as example, work it out with the downtown casinos to tech there and cars be required to "fire them" to drive to the tech position. That would really be a blast. As example, stage Super Stock cars about a half block away from a tech area, then bring then up one or two at a time. Burn outs and wheel stands allowed? Naw. Too dangerous. The noise alone would draw the crowd. Take it a step further, Ford cheering section and same for GM and Mopar. Would the casinos go for it if you brought 80 cars and crews and another 3,000 spectators, I bet (pun intended) they would. Gary Hansen

I'm thinking of something relatively simple. The racers can spend a night or 2 parked in the big parking lot and get the car out to clean or just show it off to create interest from the locals. I know I've spent a night at a Walmart before while traveling. You'd be close to resturants and supplies before heading to the track for the weekend. Blocking off a city street would take alot of effort. Racers could "volunteer" using this website and stores or malls listed on here too.

Since Bales can only get a hp hit with an illegal engine, and he has doing it from thebeginning, do we get some of that HP removed now since that the illegal engine has been exposed????????? I am going to write the NHRA on that one. Fair is fair guys.....Illegal engines shouln't be able to penalize everyone else racing that combo.

How many times did he take a hit for this combo without getting torn down? And come on guys, that engine has been apart enough times since it was delivered that "somebody" had to know that it was illegal.

Irv, at least when we did get hp, we did so with a legal engine. We successfully passed teardown. So pease don't put us in the same category as someone who has no skin in the game, and only gets hp when running an illegal engine.

But Irv, it would appear that we are still running well enough with that combo. And actually, the 5.7 doesn't look too bad after the hit the 6.4 took last week.

Dang, I thought racing was supposed to be fun? The ONLY thing I'm guilty of is keeping my foot to the floor at a couple of races. Why so angry?

And stop already. You've made your point in your page long personal blog about me and your jabs in some threads here. Even though it's so far from reality. Do you actually think that we would of gone for the record knowing that we would be torn down and inspected if we knew we had illegal pistons in the motor? C'mon now. I might be some idiot kid with no skin in the game, that knows nothing about racing, and is a joke of a driver, according to you, but no one is that stupid.

I don't know why you are trying so hard to convince people that I'm a bad guy and am clueless?

One good thing is the people that matter know better, and that's reassuring at least.

To the self proclaimed "Combo Hitter",

It is nice to know that you read my blog. But why would you think it was about you. It didn't even say Indianapolis.

As for everything else, actions speak louder than words. I only stated obvious facts and I never expected you to know absolutely anything about the motor. It isn't even your car.

But as you said, and the only thing with which I can agree, is that the people who really matter, really do know the truth.

Have a nice day.
