Another "myth" debunked

art leong · 03-15-2011, 01:43 PM

Well I just got dragster and it had the payouts for Belle Rose.
I could swear bernie and others told me they were going to double the class winner contingency, due to the fact they were only paying at 4 races?
Well it turns out that I could have made just as much money for a class win last year as this year. No change whatsoever. Except that now I'll have to run 3 or 4 rounds to win (in the singles division) And they only have to pay contingency for 4 events instead of 11.
As I said before it was all about nhra saving money on trophies.
All the rest was lies. Baldfaced lies.

No Toby do you want to buy it. I just found 30 HP and 25 ft lbs torque With a real intake manifold instead of the Dodge Caravan intake.

Toby Lang · 03-15-2011, 03:03 PM

No, thanks. Sorry to hear that nobody has bought your car yet.

Not as sorry as me.
I'll just go and cause some controversy with it

Everyone knows FWD cars can't win.

Don't need another car, but I'd buy a pair of those 20x8/14 M/T's you've got stockpiled if you'd let 'em go. Been going lots of rounds, and those wicked burnouts are taking their toll on my 15-year old hand-me-down spare I got from Billy! The 13" rims are backordered, so even if I do get some 22x8/13's, I'm SOL for a little while.
