We will be at two of the race - even though each will require more than a 4000 mile round trip haul

We pay for our own prize money at NHRA events - some people don't get it

We don't do it to try and make a living - we do it because we love it

OK - Joseph you got me to break my "vow of silence" - damn you

At least this idot has the Balls to run his correctly factored car all out in NHRA. Sure can't say the same for you. I don't have to get so emotionlly attached to another venue. I could be wrong on this, but History says I'm not. Its my opinion, just like I think Bret with his over-hype is trying to hard to be the face of this thing. You calling people names because they don't agree with your stance is just childish. Grow up boy

Bret , can you post the entry list for Bristol? Im curious . This sounds like IHRA top stock , a few are happy and most wont race . I hate to say it but I think this thing needs to be re thought to bring in more cars . You cant run a series with only 5-8 cars per race and the same cars every race .

I SUPPORT WHAT BRET , ADRL AND THE TUETONS ARE TRYING TO DO ,BUT THIS REMINDS ME OF WHAT IS WAS LIKE FOR ME THE 3 YEARS AND 150K I SPENT AND TRIED TO KEEP HEADS UP RACING ALIVE . ( IT FAILED )

BRET , I PAID OUT OF MY POCKET AND IHRA HAD A GOOD PURSE 10-15K PER RACE AND IT FAILED BECAUSE WE HAD NO CARS THAT WANTED TO RACE AND SPEND THE MONEY IT TAKES TO RACE HEADS UP .

MAYBE YOU SHOULD TRY 6.0 HEADS UP CLASS OPEN TO ANY NHRA OR IHRA LEGAL STOCKER , RUN FASTER THEN THAT AND YOUR OUT , I WOULD BET YOU WOULD GET DOUBLE THE CARS AND STILL BE HEADS UP . ALL THE 5.80 CARS WOULD HAVE TO DO IS PUT IN 200LBS AND WERE RACING AND HAPPY . ADRL WOULD BE OPEN TO ALL.

IF THAT WORKED BRING IN A SUPERSTOCK 5.50 CLASS AND YOU WOULD REALLY HAVE SOME HAPPY RACERS .

MY THOUGHTS

Bo - it sounds and awful lot like an index race to me - just with very fast stockers

I do agree we will need more cars and we will need to level the playing field with weight adjustments

If we do not get the V8 Drag Paks and the NA CJs - it will be tough to get the car count up

Right now the distance and cost of travel is a real issue - plus conflicts with the NHRA schedule -and finally the need to have an 8th mile setup on the car

Even if this is a bunch of rich guys (which we are not) these are not professional race teams - some have jobs or a business to run in other words a life outside of drag racing

We really want to do a couple of the SCS races but we have to pick and choose - not follow a circuit

As far as I know, Bo and Andy’s cars fit, and they are saying the same thing I am. You just have your panties in a bunch cuz my opinions have truth to them.
Next time you think about trying to censor other people’s opinions, you should check the scoreboard first. I don't remember seeing you putting your life on the line to defend not only this country's, but the world’s freedom of speech. That takes Balls. You, spoiled little boy, just want the men and even women to do that for you, while you enjoy those privileges and try to stop others, who have served this country, from speaking their mind.
I also think it’s amusing that a "rider" in a car that never turns on win lights, even though he chases everybody in the class, is trying to call himself a "Driver" of a Super Car. You should learn how to change the oil in that thing first. I guess if I never turned on a win light in NHRA, I'd be desperately looking for other avenues also. I didn’t buy a car that was ridiculously under factored just to baby it. That type of thought process makes me think you will do anything for an advantage. I would say check your car for illegal electronics, but once again, No win lights. So, keep it up. Drag out the factoring of your car for 20 years, even though you love running it all out. You need every advantage you can get.

Its funny how a father can bust his butt for over 50 years of his life to provide the lifestyle he wants for his family and along the way teach his children to do the same so that they can carry on that lifestyle for their families and some NO NAME labels you spoiled! Damn jealously hurts!
