What's wrong with Stock?

2. I never asked for a single rule change.

3. Why don't you busy yourself and your keyboard with letters to NHRA. I am sure if the issues are so egregious they will listen and surely change them. I am happy with whatever rule change you can effect.

4. If you could take the time to show me where I asked for this - I would really appreciate it.

5. I consider it an insult when you accuse me of dishonorable decisions – I am entitled to make my own decisions and they have nothing to do with how you think.

6. If you think for one minute I did this because I have the money or desire to beat up on 40 year old cars - why not see me at a drag race - if you ever go to one - oh and please make it out west - I cannot afford to travel back east.

1. No one ever said anything about anyone running "factory stock", certainly I did not. You have a habit of being condescending and insulting. I did not misquote you on anything. No one else is claiming they're insulted. Just you.

2. I suggest you look up thread, where you specifically stated the old cars should get kicked out of Stock Eliminator and put in some sort of "nostalgia" class. I can point it out for you if you like.

Here, try your post, #17 in this thread:

3. Letters have already been written to NHRA, Ron. You chose to jump in this thread. Now you want to tell everyone whether or not they should comment, and how? Seems true to your form, since you said we should all be forced to mortgage our homes and spend our life savings to stay in the class. Of course, you'll deny that, too. See your post, #24 in this thread.

4. See #2 above, in this very thread you not only asked for older cars to be removed from the class, but stated we should all have to spend everything we have in order to compete. See your post, #24, in this thread.

5. I never called your decision dishonorable. You came out and bragged that you mortgaged your house and spent your life savings. I said it was your choice, one most of us would not make. I don't care what you do with your money. I do care if you try to force the rest of us to have to do it. Again, I call your attention to your post, #24, in this thread.

6. So, now you want me to come to the west coast to speak to you, because you spent all your money and can't come to the east coast. How amusing. Ask anyone who has met me, and there are plenty, I'll tell anyone face to face what I think. I haven't lost anything out west, if you wish to "confront' me, you can come east.

Ron, since you want to make this personal, I suggest you take it up with the owner of the site. I have not made any personal attacks, and I will not. Ken has offered us this site for polite and civil discussion, I will abide by his rules.
