You're right about me not worrying about this problem.For now.How about down the road.How greedy will Ford,Mopar and NHRA get?
I have to wonder what NHRA is thinking.

Ed - Yes , the problem will be down the road but hopefully by then "they" will have had some horsepower put on ( did you see Mr.Tueton got some this afternoon ) and the cars will be a little more equal .None of any of this should stop someone from racing .I guess that's easy for me to say as I've not had my first heads-up with the any of the new generation of cars .............

As for my LS1's you're right as they can't keep up ..................Today .............And how many more years are we going to be doing this ? ? I guess my point is we should enjoy everyday we get to the track and worry less about the trivial stuff .

Eddie, not to trivialize my seminar program (and I hate to say this) but I have to agree with Jack. If getting beat by a new car that wasn't factored right had caused me to stop racing then I would have quit in 1973 when Jack showed up at Island in his 350 Ventura and started abusing me every weekend (I had a 66 Impala W/283 2V). It just made me want to learn the game. Oh yeah, there is that Jack Matyas doll that I kick the s**t out of every morning, first thing but other than that I turned out OK.

Bill I hear you about class.But what about when you get into eliminations.It may not be this year but down the road if enough of them are racing us low ballers are outta here.It becomes a rich mans playground.Maybe that's what NHRA wants in the long run.Less cars and guys with money who can take all the enhancement ($$$$) hits.
Did I ever tell you about the Billy Nees doll I have?

Geez Billy - Holding a grudge for 38 years is a bit much .............And the jury is still out on whether you turned out OK .But there is still hope ...........And damm , that Ventura was a great car ! !

Let first see if American Education Services (AES) offers an $ aid package for your instruction. I'm sure Obama will have something available.

Ed - Enough with the money stuff .You say it becomes a rich mans playground - but the truth is Wally started the NHRA with hot rodders who built their own cars .The problem as I see it is you're unhappy that you can't or won't keep-up with the costs of racing today .Those early guys built their own stuff - your abilities can't handle doing that and finances dictate that you can't or won't pay someone .That being said you're an unhappy camper some days as many of us are - but not enough to piss on everyones' Wheaties as you do on a regular basis .As you've said many times you're entitled to an opinion - and this is mine .

It's 2011 and things cost more .........maybe you should spend more time trying to earn more instead of complaining ...................

OK Billy, count me in. Let's see...I can make the Caprice into a '80 and then drop in a 229? That's a lot of weight to move with a V-6!

It just upsets me to no end that you all out there are making a joke out of Billy's proposal. The man has offred you a true alternative to get away from the bogus rated cars and you all make light of it. You should be ashamed of yourselves. The man taught me how to spell correctly recently, he has picked my car up over three tenths effortlessly. He has shown me that there is more to life than just life. He has introduced me to individuals that I wish I never knew. You all need to get some respect, and get it quick. Billy, tell them what is really happening, enlighten the masses so we all can be saved from the dreaded inoperative AHFS.

BTW Billy, is there going to be any of your well versed T-Shirts for sale at the classes.
