Talking Re: Racers And Or Crew Being Rude To Other Racers

I had a 8500 watt generator in my gooseneck. I didn't even like hearing it. Pretty much gave it away and bought a 2000 watt invertor. Can't hardly hear it run. I don't want to piss off anybody. I might need a beer some day.

Default Re: Racers And Or Crew Being Rude To Other Racers

Generators running all night are my biggest beef.
I am running off an open trailer and out of the back of a pickup truck.
That means I sleep in a tent, when the track is too far away for me to go home for the night.
I cannot believe the attitude people had when I asked them to please turn off their generator at 2:00 AM.

Thumbs down Re: Racers And Or Crew Being Rude To Other Racers

MJ - That's a 100% total LIE. And because some punk wanted to write on the bathroom wall YOU decide to, "oh well. must be true." How sad for you. Tell me, what man in our drag race world would send the title to a buyer if the car wasn't paid for? Want to see the title? Or do you want to be another hater agreeing with lies that you have NO other proof of. WHEN IT WAS PAID FOR HE SENT ME THE TITLE.

Too many people in this world are extremely small minded.

WTF is wrong with you people that it's more important to try and tear someone down, without any provocation, instead of #1, minding your own business, #2 if you must stick your nose in, why not try to find out the truth. You saw the video. Out of his own mouth Phil said there was NO problem with me or the car. That means there's simply HATEFUL non christian immature mutts out there thinking that lying about someone is "fun."

Oh, drag racing. What a FAMILY. We ALL help each other. We're all friends. Well aint that a load of broken crankshafts.

I am reminded of an old saying -

" there are two ways to build a tall building -
one is to build a tall building
two is to tear all of the other tall buildings down thus making yours tall"

Bruce,
MJ wasn't the one looking for redemption in a dog p**p thread...... You kinda stepped in it.

P.S. I have never ever used Bruce for engine work. He could be fabulous. Best way to fight Internet slander is to show up in person and race. Not to self promote to death on line. On the other hand, there is an old saying." 10,000 flies can't be wrong..."

Down here in the south most everyone runs theirs all night, something is just not real comfortable about sleeping when 75 degrees and 80% humidity.

Everybody I know runs their motor home generator & AC pretty much 24 hours. Too hot not to. Never seen anybody sleep in a tent, in the back of a pick up either. I feel sorry for anybody having to do that. Can't imagine someone wanting people to shut their AC off (2:00 am, or whenever) and sweat, just because you don't have it better.

People's slide outs hanging over my side of the line don't bother me either. Still have room to get my race car in and out, walk around it, etc. maybe we should spend less time looking for something to offend us. Try to have a good time.

It seems easier to find negativity in everything than to just enjoy the day and the company . This is what is wrong about everything today.

X2 Mr Ed although I almost got had by one of the land mines at Silver Dollar. I was about to crawl under my car when I noticed a dog mine in my path, that probably would have even pissed me off even though I'm usually just happy to be at the races! Whatever had been left of it probably would have found its way back to the proper owner.
One of the upsides of usually being one of the last ones to get to the races is that you normally have plenty of room as the officials tend to not be as stingy with pit space once they see they're going to get everyone in!
