And you did at least two times more, once against Les Norton. Don't act surprised. that you didn't know this was coming. This was intentional on your part and I'm sure you know it. Have fun with your new Drag Pak Callenger.

Hey Steve,

I sense a little tension here. Tell me, what was I supposed to do?

I was making fun of the fact that the CJ's completely kicked my *** by .12 while lifting which was well on its way to .20 ahead of me. They got 14 HP, we got 10 HP, which means they only got 4 HP compared to us. So what did that accomplish? Now they'll only be .15 ahead of me?

We ? As in DP Challys ? I thought we got 5 ?!?

Or another combo ?

Hey David: doesn't it just make you laugh at all the guys that have never run next to a new Mustang? They've never seen the real issue up close and personal have they?. They don't know what it feels like to run 130 mph with your right foot on the front bumper, and to look over and have someone toying with you! It's a joke. When the new Challengers run 9.30's, the new Mustang will be the first stocker in the 8's. And that's a fact! JB

You guys live for today. Where is your sense of legay or history. Stock and Super Super Stock as we know it will be gone soon and you ignore becuse of your personal egos. NHRA as it is currently structured could care less. Wake up guys. It is time to ban together. Where is the current format going from here?
NHRA could give a rat's *** as long as you pay the freight.
Just my 2 cents as an observer and a former competitor who sincerley cares.

[Ron Ortiz]

You guys crack me up. I understand about your situation with another car toying with you at the top end, don't it get you just a little upset. Sometimes you just have to make fun of it to save your own identy and insanity. But let me tell you what would send all of you through the roof.

1. Picture yourself against a car that has everybody in your class covered by three tenths.
2. Picture yourself against a car that has everybody in your class covered by five tenths.
3. Picture yourself against a car that has everybody in your class covered by seven tenths.
4. Imagine taking a .900 advantage on the tree and watching your opponent cross the
finish line while seeing his time on the scoreboard at the same time, while running .60
under yourself.

2. Lloyd MacKay U/SA
3. Bob Dennis U/SA
4. Bob Shaw U/SA

I still have my mind, but it is really funny sometimes.
I believe the "newer cars" will create some laughter.

Just add a new class called "LAPTOP STOCK",then us old timers/ old school ( "REAL STOCKERS") would still be in the ball game instead of sitting on the bench(in the bleachers). lol

Danny, now that's some funny *****, I don't care who you are !!!!! JB
