Not many high dollar races out west. And there's nothing like winning a national event.





That's what it's all about isn't, Art? The gravy train has come to an end. No longer can you just show up and collect the easy participation money (as Bernie calls it.)

When was the last time you had a heads-up race in eliminations?

Toby. they could go back to the way they used to run. Class winners only If you didn't win class you became a spectator or went home. In 1979 Indy there were 5 cars in B/SA 3 of them had us covered By a bunch (the mid motored sports cars were flying). We got the right breaks and went home the following Thurday. So don't tell me about heads up crap
There are a lot of guys that work to hard on their cars and not enough time driving them. But thats their choice. If these guys quit it makes it a lot harder for you, wheter you want to believe it or not.
I feel only about 20% of the racers at a national event are really capable of winning the whole thing. Sure some get lucky but not very often. Get rid of half of the 80% and it will take it's toll on you. Very few easy runs.

You are a bracket racer that drives a stocker, there is nothing wrong with that. But if everyone had the same game plan how would you work the bottom of the ladder?

Charlie,

This may be the time dig one of those roof racks out of storage...just to check for any aerodynamic advantage it might offer. But remember to change it to a Ford part number.

Art,

My primary goal in qualifying is to avoid a first round heads-up race (as it is with many people who qualify in the bottom half of the field.) I really don't care who I have to run first round as long as I don't have a heads-up race. Of course, I would prefer not to run the Biondo's, Fletcher, Edmond, Zane, Faul etc.. But it is much better to run them than having to run a race where I have virtually zero chance of winning.

If everybody was lifting like me, I would qualify at the top so I'd get the first round bye.

Oh about 2 or 3 weeks ago in the first round...............................

Lets just say that Charlie learned a REALLY big lesson that day!!

And what lesson would that be? Lifting at a thousand feet during qualifying?

james why don't you come down to one of the SSSSA races? And put your money where your mouth is? I'm sure we could get at least double the amount you could win at a national event but you will have to come up with your share. You certainly do your share of crying. Do you have an enfatuation with Jim? This thread had abslolutly nothing to do with Jim. Do you think Jim is the only racer "playing the ahfs game" ?.
You badmouthed Chris (Drooze) told him he was stupid and would never get the car running. Well you were wrong there too. The car runs as good or better than any, And it was just an electronic glitch.

Well when both cars were at the same track. There was not a peep out of him. Till he got home on the keyboard. I guess thats telling it like it is "internet style"

I have more important things going on in my life that makes the childish game of "show me your penis" with "Jelous Jimmy" a very low priority. My Volare's performance and reputation speaks for its self thanks to a the man who built it. Yes, I play the AHFS game just like half the other racers out there today. So what? If he and I meet at a race and we are in the same class, so be it, but his problems just aren't that interesting to me and I'm not going to lose any sleep about it. As I stated, I have much more important things in my life right now. Jim
