Oddly, it seems both drivers in these races must take a shot at the tree.

Why do faster cars in handicapped races get welfare? Why are they handed free passes?

Why are A/S cars so afraid?

In 1978, did Glidden wonder why he, most always the fastest car, have to take a shot at the tree against these slower cars? It would seem so unfair why the faster car would have to have an equal chance of a foul start.

Today, the faster cars in handicapped races seem weak, wimpy and terrified: They have their hand out for a a free meal.

Glidden running Pro Stock in 1978? That is heads up. Are you nuts? You don't actually race do you? That's funny right there, I don't care who ya are.

Read it again Ed, I understand what he is saying. When you get what his point is maybe you won't be so quick to try to marginalize him. Jim

What does that have to do with handicaps? All this whining on this message board means nothing anyway. Has no effect on the rules. Why do people that don't actually have a race car and actually race with us think their opinion means anything to us anyway?

Anybody that says they are not, run such a low class they always leave first and don't have to deal with it.
