Alcohol dragster?

[Floyd Staggs]

Nobody wants to hear it but an extra 320' of shut down wouldn't hurt anybody. Make it across the board, all classes. That's a lot more stopping area if something breaks and less terminal speed at the finish line.

Ed, I see the humor, however, if I use my real name, I could not post here from my office in a timely basis and would be restricted only when I get home. Most of the times is late in the evening and when I get home, I do not feel turning on the computer after putting 10+ hours of work at the office.

Yes, the computer is monitored when I am at work and I do work in programs related to the US Government and military so that will give you an idea of my clearance.

Many in this board know my name and when I get PM's, I do identify myself when I respond from home. They even monitor when you access your personal email accounts such as Yahoo and Hotmail which I do from my smart phone and not from work. Also, all access to blogs are blocked at work.

Ed, did you read my previous post? Being selective on your posts to create more bashing? I do not work for the government.

No you don't,BUT your company,as you said yourself,has govt. contracts.Who finances
the government?Last time I looked we all are contributors to the kitty.How many of your 841 posts were made from your WORK computer?
You said yourself you post on a computer from your work location.
Sometimes knowledge and the perception of knowledge is better kept to ones self.
Especially on a site like this one,where there are more "experts" and Rhodes Scholars
than at any major think tank in the universe.

Yes, 841 posts compared to your 2,000 +. Why are your panties so wound up on this subject?
No, all my posts are not done from my work computer and why do you care? I just made it clear why I do not use my name.
Although I do not have the need to explain myself to you, my posts are done during my breaks, lunch and sometimes I stay a bit longer at the office so I can respond to people like you.
It is up to me to share my knowledge and perception; many on this site approve what I share and many many times they contact me for information or help. If you do not like it, go pound on sand.
Yes, there are many on this site with lots of knowledge and expertise, and they also get lashed out by others too. This is a free country were people have the right to exercise their opinions like you and I. ...and by the way...like you, I am formerly from the east coast; born and raised in New York.

This is my last response to you on this subject...I am not wasting anymore bandwidth with you!

X2 I knew of a track that it used to be a military airport that was turned in to a drag strip and the shutdown had an additional 1.5 miles of length.

Hey NovaSSDude,
Looks like SSDiv6 was compleatlly wrong about your idea. Here is a line from a statement released from NHRA.
"As an additional safety enhancement, NHRA is also working with manufacturers on a secondary tethering device for parachutes in the Top Fuel, Funny Car, Top Alcohol Dragster and Top Alcohol Funny Car classes. This is in addition to an enhanced specification for parachute mounting for the same four classes that was introduced earlier this year"

All this nonsense about SSDiv6 not posting his name because he uses a Govt. computer is crap. You must work for the current administration to think we are that stupid. They allready know whos computer its coming from if they cared. So why don't you post your name? I believe its because your smart enough to know how stupid you are. I don't believe you have a witch hunt against me, I just don't like people who don't post who they are, and then twist what someone posted to fit in what they think makes them look intelligent. Who cares if you look like your sooo informed about a subject? Nobody knows who to give the credit to. So I can only assume its a self serving agenda.
