OK, if we had new leadership, and don't like the job they are doing, can we take off our shoes and throw them at these folks ??!!

I agree with you Rick, and while we're at it, how about adding Bret Kepner to a high post as well? I dream of the 90's when sportsman racers got more exposure on Tv., and we're sure lacking BIG TIME, in that regard...What ever happened to Inside Drag Racing? Why if it's still being shown, isn't it in all cable/satelite markets so we can enjoy it like we used to on ESPN???

Since I know (kind of) Woodro Josey, and know of Billy Nees I'll consider one of them as well. However, what happened to the presidential election, needs to happen to NHRA Drag Racing...WE NEED CHANGE!!! Us sportsman classed racers (NHRA'S middle-class) have been getting treated like forgotten step-children too damn long, and it's time for a change!!!

Idr is still on its on the outdoor channel, if you see Bret and want a good laughf ask him how he likes wearing a shirt with a moose on it. Bret is our track photogropher at Gateway and is a great guy it would be really nice if we could at least get Nhra/ ESPN to replace Paul the idiot Page with Bret the show might just be worth watching again. sorry to sidetrack the thread

Hey Rob,

Don't be sorry...I thought it was funny, and definitely true....

Woodro, you'd definitely be a top candidate for my vote (if not a high cabinet position), which is why I also recommended you for the stocker engine build that Jonathan Womack was enquiring about 2wks ago...I wish you lived closer to Az, if not here in metro Phoenix...you'd have my car running so good, that NHRA might force me to run with those turbo mopars again in the BF/S and/or CF/S classes...not only can you build the motor, you can also tune the computer to accept the build. Wow, I remember years ago trying a 350 V8 truck computer chip in my factory box...idle to 2000rpm was soo awesome, that I asked a Fl. chip maker to burn a chip that would allow my engine to have that kind of throttle response up to 6-7k? He never did it, which is why I tried the Calmap, but If you were closer, I bet you'd have gotten out of my motor what you got out of yours back in the 90's!!! Rob, like you I'm sorry to sidetrack the thread, but credit should be delivered where it's earned, and Woodro, you earned it!!!
