Wheelie Bars are not needed for Safety on Stockers!

FYI, Class Racers are like family.........we disagree on many things, but then end result is that we love the sport and are proud of what we do...........we will argue among ourselves and beat each other up..........BUT......let an outsider come in that criticizes us and we will take them to the wood shed.....

All racers should be family. I respect what s/ss guys do and have been around it a long time. Its a shame that some of you folks can't offer that same respect to other forms of drag racing. You may be surprised what you could learn if you opened your minds.

I always thought racing was racing, no matter the class, but as I read this thread, I find that as I no longer am able to race (doctor said quit), that I may need to reevaluate. I come to this site to learn any info that I can gleam from people that should be in the know better than. But I also come to see how our sport is progressing or moving. After reading this thread, it may be time for a new evaluation. Many people people are posting, some that race, some like me that have to only go look, and those that help. Some of the info is good, some is so so., but all is conversation about OUR sport. Would like to make a observation as Mr Stimpson did, but got personally criticized. In case most of you have not recognized, class racing is on the down turn, both in numbers participating and in those people attending races to watch. So I feel we should be particular in how we criticize anyone for making a observation or contributing any input. Lets not let this be a part of the reason for the down turn. Also the other side should be a little more tactful with your inputs as your racing may turn down also. When you are at a track, that is a family, like it or not. It is really a family reunion of people that participate in a sport of gear heads. I do not want to ever have to go to yellow bullet because this forum stinks as some of this thread does.

Hey Alan, back off on Nathan. He never said anything that wasn't true. But I will tell he ain't no dummy when it comes to racing. Just because you don't agree with what he says doesn't mean he is wrong. And no, I don't have a damn stocker either...but I've stayed in a Holiday Inn. Does that qaulify me to come in here and offer suggestions? Geez...

Chris, this about the 4th or 5th time Nathan has decided to shoot his mouth off at me, and I'm done listening to it, and I'm done with him. If he wants to be a smart ***, he can deal with the responses. I seriously doubt I'm the only one tired of his crap, or crap from his buddy "Ed" or "1320", either. Back off? Uh, no.

Yeah, class racers do complain about problems with class racing, considering we are actually participants, it would seem we're in a position to do so. But we don't have a habit of going to the bracket or 0.90 sections and trying to be smart asses about their side of the sport, I don't do it at all. I've bracket raced, and I've run in Super Gas and Super Comp. It's not my thing. They're using the same piece of asphalt, but they're doing their own thing. That's fine by me. I've got friends and customers who do it, and I'm happy for them, they're doing what they like. I'm not going to go on their forums and bad mouth them or what they do. By the same token, I'm not going to listen to any crap they want to dump on the class forums.
