Dan,

That would mean no more comp-you know we are nuts to be racing that class.

I don't think that pertains to just Comp....but I would rather be a Crazy Old Fool than just an Old Fool, therefore, I race..?!?!?! (try to figure that out LOL)

What's the cost to pull a rear end cover? Felt I better edit this and put in no reference to Dan which can drive anything anywhere as he has done in several classes.

No Tom, I didn't twist your words around, nor jump down your throat. On a thread that basically centered around "cheating", you mentioned spot checks, I agree. But you then chose to highlight how difficult it is to win and that the odds of winning multiple times in a season must be "incredible". Your implication is clear, and that's fine, you're entitled to your opinion. Own it.

I simply stated that NHRA does in fact do spot checks, and that the opportunity is there for you to have my car inspected. That is fact, not veiled innuendo...

Lighten up? I have a suggestion for you, and I'll give you a hint. It starts with go...

Dan could give everyone a free .015 light and still beat them 80% of the time. the fact that is crazy enough to do this to feed his family makes him insane in my book. How many on here would have the guts to try it.

Are some people around here channeling Ed O'Cryin' or something?

Tom Nolan · 10-20-2013, 09:53 AM

Please accept my apologies Dan, there was never intent to reference you in my post. I thought this thread in my first post was about driver aid spot checks not who's cheating? You have my respect traveling the country drag racing for a living, chasing sponsors, collecting contingency winnings must be very stressful. I race because I enjoy the challenge of racing within a defined set of rules that need to include driver aid checks! I have never even come close to winning a national event and likely never will. I get a bigger kick out of class than anything. I could never do what you do ....mostly because I'm just not that good, and the pressure would be far greater than I could stand! I'm sure my cars will be the first to be spot checked, and I'm OK with that. Please have a nice day I hope I have not offended anyone else. Life is far to short to be pissed off!

Alan, Which Ed would that be?
