Norman Blake needs your help
 

Many of us 'old timers' know and remember Stormin' Norman Blake - for many decades he was the go-to guy for photos in D1 and Raceway Park always .Seems that Mr.Blake is in a bad way financially and could use our help .I personally know Norman since the early seventies and has always been a stand-up guy .You can help him at - Gofundme.com ..............many of us 'owe' him for the memories we now have hanging in our 'mancaves' and elsewhere . Do it today .........

Re: Norman Blake needs your help
 

So this will go over like fart in church but needs to be said, how do you get to 70 years old and not qualify for SS, meaning he didn’t work/pay into SS for the minimum 10 years to earn 40 credits and knowing that, he then never saved any $ for retirement and now ask for handouts?

This message is hidden because 1320racer is on your ignore list.

Wild guess here...something negative and not related to helping him??
Second post in and the thread is ruined?

Gofundme.com under "Norman Blake"?
Looking now.

Edit: Here's the link, https://www.gofundme.com/f/support-n...6afdfb7f63e6de
No paypal though but there is "google pay" which works too.

Re: Norman Blake needs your help
 

Hope you're proud of yourself kicking a guy when he's down - that plus you don't know the circumstances which he has .And it didn't need to be said ! ! !

Re: Norman Blake needs your help
 

I said what needed to said when you come here asking for hand outs for a guy that’s had 50 years to get his shyt together!

So Jack if he’s such a great guy and you’ve known him forever then why….

1.did you let him get in this bad way?
2. Why haven’t you bailed him out?

Re: Norman Blake needs your help
 

It just never ends. Opinion can be justified by the quality of it's form. Caustic, classless posts are very much unappreciated by me. If you don't have something respectful of other's to posts, STFU you self indulgent ***.

Re: Norman Blake needs your help
 

Ed,
You are nothing more than an insecure, self inflicted jerk looking to enhance your minimal qualities to this audience.
Please remove yourself graciously from this forum.
Frank

Re: Norman Blake needs your help
 

Thanks Jim for posting a link, quite possibly the extra ?attention? helped Norman reach its goal. Really want some beautiful flowers to grow? You try to cover them with horse poop. God is good.

Re: Norman Blake needs your help
 

Frank, isn't this YOU that announced your gracious departure from this forum?:p :D

Oh and Frank where's your donation to this guy? ;)

Re: Norman Blake needs your help
 

You want me to disappear because you're uncomfortable with my opposition to your disillusioned opinions, I will not stand for your disrespectful behavior. It's unwarranted and unwanted. Can you not see the broad disapproval of your abusive rhetoric?

Re: Norman Blake needs your help
 

frank, you are delusional, I couldn't careless about your posting nor your opinion of me, You nor 99.9% of the haters here have never seen me in person, much less spoken to me no mind know anything about me other than what I've posted on this forum about the cars I own and race!

Your/their hate is fueled by envy and jealousy! Further, you and a few other just don't care for the way I post the truth but nonetheless it's the TRUTH!

Get over it and still no donation to Norman from you!:p

Re: Norman Blake needs your help
 

Jealous? I raced and held my my own in the seventies, eighties and early nineties against the best D1 Stock Eliminator had to offer. I'm proud of this. To think I'm envious of some bracket racer is foolish.
It's not about you or me, it's about the sanctity of Class Racer Forum.

Re: Norman Blake needs your help
 

Who the he!! Appointed you as the class Pr ick?
Ken! We have a case of E.D The dysfunction!
Fix this dyick or many of us are gone !

Btw back in ignore , and I?m logging out f this!

Re: Norman Blake needs your help
 

you are not the owner of this forum and therefore "the sanctity of Class Racer Forum" is not your business, BTW the owner has actually met me years ago, talks to me as well briefly met my wife back in October.

Frank you still haven't donated to Norman!

No one ever leaves that announces they are leaving barry just like you never left bracket talk despite announcing you were numerous times.:p and barry where's your donation to Norman?

Re: Norman Blake needs your help
 

No Ed I'm not the owner. Ken is and I have also have met him at a maple Grove event and had a great conversation with him. However many members of this forum race with Ken all season long and know him personally without exploiting a shield of allegiance. You are hanging on to this membership by tips of your dirty little fingers.
THE END IS NEAR.

Re: Norman Blake needs your help
 

WRONG again frank but keep trying.:D

Meanwhile, you still haven't donated to Norman you hypocrite!

Re: Norman Blake needs your help
 

My relationship with Norman is none of your business. It's about your relationship with the fellow forum members.

Re: Norman Blake needs your help
 

WRONG again frank!

1. this thread ain't about me, it's about a guy that didn't plan for his retirement and now is looking for handouts and you don't like the tone of that, TFB, it's the truth.
2. I don't post here to make friends, I have many, I post to offer my advice and opinions about what we do, drag race! "we" doesn't include you because you don't race any longer.:p

Meanwhile, you still haven't donated to Norman you hypocrite!

Re: Norman Blake needs your help
 

Ed,
You have very few friends on this forum, just in case you haven't noticed.
Frank

Re: Norman Blake needs your help
 

Tell everyone here why you were booted off DRR and how many guys rejoined when you were tossed?? I was one of them who flagged you! I?m still there.

You are doing the same bull sh it you did there.
With all the bad things happening right now in the US and lives lost,, you have no compassion for anyone?
This site has C L A S S racers with Class! You don?t have a class car or class! You never have and have no idea what it takes. Never will.
What don?t you like about the FACTS ?

So you tail gated Ken? BFD!

Re: Norman Blake needs your help
 

again frank, I'm not here to make friends, have many, not lonely, not a miserable old man. Life is great!

barry you're loser, always been a loser and another who no longer races! Now what part of the TRUTH and the FACTS don't you like?:p

Meanwhile, both of you still haven't donated to Norman, hypocrites!

Re: Norman Blake needs your help
 

I raced in Bakersfield 5 days. I had a blast ! I wasn?t fast but I was racing. I will be back where I was trust me. I?m surrounded by great people!
Ohh That?s right, you don?t have a class car.
The looser posts about other?s misfortunes.
? Make you feel good? I donate direct, never any sites I’ve been burned.

Did you donate?

Re: Norman Blake needs your help
 

of course you won't donate and neither will frank you two only replied to this thread because I did, it was never about Norman and No, god helps those that help themselves!

Re: Norman Blake needs your help
 

Well, I guess douchebaggery, if nothing else, will get this thread some extra clicks.

Congrats, Class-less Racer.

By the way, I donated, have you?

In case you were curious, post #2, which was needless, derailed this thread. Not Frank, not anyone else. You. Period. End of story.

I should know better than to get into a battle of wits with an unarmed opponent, but here we are anyway.

Re: Norman Blake needs your help
 

over 1900 views on this thread and 1 donation. Nuff said, my comments were not only dead on but how everyone feels though a few here don't like the tone, the truth is the truth! Old norman is working the fools now, raised his goal twice.

a fool and his money will soon part

Re: Norman Blake needs your help
 

Well - well - well ..........By trying to shift focus off yourself to me has shown the members and guests here just shows how low you will go .My business is certainly none of yours .It also shows you can be heartless and showing no compassion toward humanity .I'm positive my thoughts are the same as many,many others here .

Re: Norman Blake needs your help
 

Barry,
Don't you have enough race engine projects to work on? Stop wasting time arguing with the forum fool.


Stan

Re: Norman Blake needs your help
 

Correct Jack I don’t care about a stranger looking for handouts no mind one that has at least 50 years to get his life in order and clearly neither do 99.9999% of those here that have viewed this thread! And too did not donate. If you do then bail him out

Re: Norman Blake needs your help
 

Why don't you go troll another sight, lowlife. Onlyfans has your name all over it.:mad:

Re: Norman Blake needs your help
 

Thanks Jack. I know exactly what this is like, and he deserves every penny we can help him with. Norman was (and still is) one of my all time favorite drag racing photo journalists.

Re: Norman Blake needs your help
 

Of course you do…

Gary Smith
"another broke racer spectating"

Nuff said and of course you didn’t donate either.

But hey Jack just donated, it only took him 20 hours to do so after starting this thread and telling us that we owe Norman.UFB!!!

Re: Norman Blake needs your help
 

Yep. And I don't hide behind a fake name with a fake reputation. And I won't keep responding to your fake posts either. So keep drooling over your keyboard. I'm sure there'll be someone else here to get you off.

Re: Norman Blake needs your help
 

There ain’t nothing fake about me nor my posts pal. Now move along, you’re just one of the few here that replied only to comment about my posts, which is the TRUTH that ALL of the nearly 2600 that have viewed this thread agree with cause they haven’t donated either just like you!

Re: Norman Blake needs your help
 

Cheap Entertainment! ;)

Meanwhile, 2500+ views for Norman Blake's donations. With at least 2 contributors if not more from CR.

1700/781L :)

Re: Norman Blake needs your help
 

Another who won’t donate and only replies because I have which is his only reason for being here in the 1st place.

Re: Norman Blake needs your help
 

Done. Some of the best drag racing images over the years have come from a few guys that excel at it. Norman is one of them.

Re: Norman Blake needs your help
 

i do not know your background. but you might want to listen to the words of his. its called the sermon on the mount. it might make you a more caring person

Re: Norman Blake needs your help
 

Administrator, Can you please block this 1320 person from posting anything on Class Racer forum. We have put up with this WAY to long. Right is right, and wrong is wrong. Have some professional dignity and block this character from Class Racer once and for all.

Re: Norman Blake needs your help
 

I blocked the troll a long time ago so thankfully I only saw what he posted whenever others quoted it in their reply. I didn't think my opinion of this goon could go any lower but somehow he's managed. Pretty sure he's going to call that a win since that's the perverse way his mind seems to work.

While working in the tower for DRC, I got to know almost all of the photogs on the circuit. Norman is a great guy and one of the most respected by his peers.

A bit of truth here. Not a single photog or journalist I knew got rich - most were barely squeaking by. Because it wasn't about the money, they were there for the love of the sport and for the competitors they came to be friends with.

When you're out there on your own, or getting a pittance of money from a magazine every now and then it's tough to build up much of a Social Security fund or even save any money towards retirement. So attacking the guy who did it for all the right reasons is the lowest blow I can imagine.

Re: Norman Blake needs your help
 

There's a difference between free speech and being allowed to turn a useful site into a cesspool. Please give that some thought
