And like Ed... I would get more done around here to. Like..... drag racing this froum becomes like a drug to some of us whos lives have revolved around stock and S/S racing for so long. .

Re: Sticks & Autos Together (Class)
 

I went my whole life till 2000 without a computer and class racer since 2001.I would survive just fine.Maybe I'd get more of the little projects done that I have going on.
I've been racing steady since 1977.Raced a little in 1967-70.I have a street car in the works so I think if i stopped posting or Kenny closed the site all would be good for me.
How about you?

Re: Sticks & Autos Together (Class)
 

Well, I'm probably like most people on here. I can't wait to load the site and see what you and X have to say. Especially all the NHRA bashing. I can't get enough of that NHRA bashing! :)

Re: Sticks & Autos Together (Class)
 

Usually when I post a negative comment about NHRA,and sometimes IHRA,I usually give either an explanation of why I think it's wrong or what I think an appropriate correction should be.It's expressing an opinion.Bashing is complaining and not giving a solution
to the perceived problem.
Sometimes I make a sarcastic remark.That's just my eccentric sense of humor.

Re: Sticks & Autos Together (Class)
 

I bash them both.....Im an "equal opportunity basher". Been around it long enough since around 1961 to see stuff change for the good and for the bad. Both *hra's are guilty as sin. They both have their good points and their bad. Have I ever won a national event or points race.....No....but I was runner up for class when you had to win class in order to get to race in the eliminator at the 1978 sports nationals at Bowling Green, Ky. NHRA was the best around then in my opinion. I was working for IHRA at that time yet still liked NHRA better as a racer. I cant say that today. What I see today is sad and Ed and myself do not sugar coat any of what we see or have experienced.
You guys have your own ideas and thoughts. We have ours without looking thru "Rose Colored Glasses".

Hey, whatever floats your boat.

Stay thirsty my friend.

Come on now Toby.That's plagiarism.

Re: Sticks & Autos Together (Class)
 

There YOU go again, ED, chastising me for offering my opinion in the "everybody's welcome" forum just because I don't currently run a class car. Do you realize that that's in direct opposition to Ken Miele's description of this forum? Are you new, here???? If you want to read suggestions from people ONLY, who have a permanent number, what are you doing HERE??? Confine your posts and abrasive criticism to the racers' forum; maybe that will make you happy...

And, if that were not bad enough, you continue your modus operandi of attacking the person who posts, without offering ONE WORD of ideas, or criticism, constructive or otherwise, about the issue at hand.

Not ONE WORD.

Oh, you did point out that some Stockers already use clutchless transmissions, a practice that is in direct contradiction to page 7 of Section 10-A of the 2011 NHRA Rule Book, which states unequivocally, "Clutchless transmissions prohibited. Clutch must be used to change gears in a conventional manner." Are you revealing that the stick shift guys are just a bunch of cheaters?

Do you have ANY thoughts on what might could work to equalize the clutchless issue for automatics, of do you just want to run your mouth???

Any real ideas/suggestions????

I thought not...
