It took two rounds of eliminations to win TAFC. Your talking about a stout 4 car field. How about 3 rounds for the Alky/fuel dragster class. The sportsman televised show will be packed with action from the large fields.

You complainers always talk about bogus combos, low purses, throttle stops/delays, single passes, lack of track prep, and such. Now is the time to stand up and be recognized. Quit your trash talking and build yourself an alky car. Get off the keyboard and start working on your new alky piece. Just think, if you can get it to just get down the track without puking all over itself, you've got a win. Does'nt matter if the time slip says 12.34 @ 92 mph. Then it's off to round two where all you need is to stage the car since your opponent lost fire. Then your in the finals. Wow, what an accomplishment.

Of course there is a drawback. You might get paired with someone like Manzo who can make it down the track with consistency. Other than that there are only so many that can do that. So quit your bitchin and build yourself one and be a famous elite Sportsman racer, and get on ESPN.

And some were on here bashing TS and TD, just wanna bee alky cars.

Thats it for me, I'm going to go hide under some gravel, I like little rocks better.

U/SA 14.13 at an honest 93mph

As a added bonus last year you could of showed up to one race claimed div V and had a top ten finish in division points with out ever winning a round. You would also get paid as a first round looser while you are at it. From the price I have seen on some of these cars it is cheaper than building a good stocker.
