He was just flat wrong. I once had a friend that pulled that crap on a regular basis. Now an X friend.

Now a couple questions for you...............What do you think was accomplished by his actions? How will that hissy fit benefit sportsman racers?
I think people are now talking about the incident, I think NHRA was embarrassed that a lowly serf stopped their show for a few minutes. Will it lead to them taking some responsibility for ensuring that the sportsman racers have a decent track? We shall see. I think that NHRA being heavy handed has done even more to unite the sportsman racers, to stand up together and say enough is enough. It's just like this country. Some have to go first, and pay the price, before the masses decide to band together.
