ahhh, but would it be the same thing?
i find it hard to (in my case) call a 67 american with a 290 a "muscle car"
a 343 , yes, but not a "small" motor.
that's what made muscle cars muscle cars...

If you guys hate this **** so much sell you stuff and quit racing. I have never seen people bitch so much about something they are suppose to enjoy. My brother and I take a different approach, we have fun. We have a crate motor wagon now that will be a NHRA stocker for the start of 2010. I dont give a crap what the new mustangs, challengers or camaros are factored. I dont care if they tell me i cant be over weight by 200 lbs. I dont care how fast a U SA car is, and could care less if the mustang has a supercharger. My dad told me when he started there were 6 classes and they spotted a car length per class, I guess some guys want to go back to that. My point is how can anyone spend their hard earned money on something that pisses them off so much. Its not just this post but over 50% of the post the past week. The site owners love it because all the bitching gets people back and then the views go up so they can sell to more advertisers. Its win win.

Have a nice day.

Herb jr...thats a good approach...but maybe you have to look on it from some other racers wiew too..Why spending so much money on something you hate so much?? You dont care about the "new cars" favorable greetings one way or the other,or manipulating the system..Well..the majority of the money is allready spent for the most part..and cars start getting uncompetitve by men behind a desk and a factoringsystem that just gets everything more and more "out there"..nothing else..... if guys are not affected by most of this and maybe are more interrested of the "bracket eliminator" part of this it may be easier to take the same approach as you have...Sell the stuff?? thats maybe easy to say..give it away is maybe more accurate..

If you look at post by the poster you see alot of the same people bitching about stuff. Then you take their name go to dragracecentral.com and search and they might show up 3x in 5 years on a qualifing sheet. They arent racing anyway so why should they have a real bitch here. My brother and I havent raced much for operating a drag strip for 18 months and now that is over so we are back racing, having fun and oh yea when I do swap it over to an NHRA style stocker I probably will get my *** kicked on a heads up. If I do I just do.

Herb, im with you...who cares about heads up...you gotta look at the percentage of actual heads up runs...other than class...they are pretty much slim to none..the biggest one this year was when Fletch had i think 4 in A/SA at a natl....this complaining will never end....we all just need to come to reality and realize this is never gonna change you accept it and race cause you love racing if you hate whatever HRA and they way they run things then go combo racing or bracket racing...this is the future of the sport and personally if it saves the HRA's from going under and gives me a place to race for many many years lets do whatever it takes.....

The same could be said for you posting on this site. You should not read and participate in these threads if they make you so angry. You're not going to stop people from expressing their views!

herbjr · 04-01-2009, 07:17 AM

Look I could care less, we owned a racetrack which gave us a whole new approach to how we now race. Some people bitch about everything all the time.
