Your memory is deceiving you... Hitler had a lot to do with creating the Volkswagen and German race cars kicked everybody back then.

As for Pearl Harbor that was as much the US governments doing as the Japanese.

Tom what does the P stand for, Pamayota? That has to be the dumbest thing I've heard in a long time.

Tom's statement may not seem so dumb.Many people believe Roosevelt had info acquired through intelligence that the Japs were planning the bombing.There were many Americans who were still opposed to us entering the war and Roosevelt supposedly saw this as a way to do it.Was it worth 2500 dead?I don't think so.But it's only a theory.
Racing content: The guy went one more round than half of the field.

Tom P you need to read a little history before spouting such things.
I guess the planes and pilots that attacked Perl Harbor were american made planes and the pilots citizens of the United States to make it the United States fault? Give me a break.
This sounds like some left wing speak that also denies the Holicost in Germany ever happened!!!!!!!!!!
For those who lost family during the second world war this is a personal attack on those family members memory.
Just let your left wing thinking be said around your left wing friends.
I will NEVER OWN A JAPANESE MADE VEHICLE......
My 2 Cents

I never suggested that Scott had a swastika tattoo or bombed Pearl Harbor (I don't know what you're eating/drinking, but I don't want any..lol), however the corporate leaders of the company that created the car he's racing probably did (at least the Pearl Harbor part). You're being a bit harsh calling his car a "riceburner", and I applaud it for running a nine-second pass, however I'm looking forward to seeing how it fares out running against any of the perrenial top-20 Super Stock racers when the car is going to have to be as consistent as Scotts rt's are good in order to beat the Fletchers, Biondo's, Langs, DeFranks, et.al.....

Perhaps Hitler had a lot to do with Volkswagen, but as far as that German race cars kicking everybody back then....maybe on European soil, but I bet Victor Edelbrock Sr., (amongst others), had something to say about that over here in American soil???

As for Pearl Harbor, the Japanese didn't have to do their cowardly deed, and I hope reality was like the movie with Ben Afleck, and Cuba Gooding Jr. where a warship gunner, and an American fighter pilot were able to gun down some of those bastards that attacked Pearl Harbor!!!
