people always talk about the good old days... memory makes it seem better i think. i do not see alex posting on here and im not an authority on what all took place but i was there crew chiefing for MJ Quinn...

yeah it was GREAT most cars ever, superb idea and lots of work on alex and a few others part cannot say enough about what they accomplished > it paved the way for the sportsnationals (of course NHRA greedily took them over to thier tracks except pats who also stuck his ***** out)

yeah it was HOT, real hot, even 10 years ago i was younger HOT...

i do remember the issues...
after the no breakout race grumbling about BEAR running IHRA class not nhra better index...
grumbling about teardown, all passed but terry bell made statement about "worst heads he's ever seen etc"... but did not toss anyone due to fear of legal repercussions and without an association behind him could be personally liable.
grumbling about failure to pay posted contingency money and no recourse (see above)...
i cant think of anything else right now
BUT
i do remember people ripping ALEX's ***** on this forum, and the other one, and everywhere we went for 1/2 year like HE did something wrong instead of all this warm and fuzzy **** i am reading now !

i would go again in a minute, i go to pats every year 1700 miles round trip
i would support alex any time again

anyway, if i offended anyone im sorry... if i am wrong someone with facts set me straight... not trying to ruin this nostalgic thread but i remember ALEX's screwing.
