Go look again, Cratecamaro and his buddy from Canada are the ones who brought out the useless name calling and insults. None before that.

I do apologize after rereading from the beginning you are correct on who started what. The gentleman who started the thread was the one if NHRA had considered adding these crate motors was not the one who started the fire that came later. The only thing I would add is that these crate motor cars are class cars, maybe not what you guys consider class but indeed they are they were built to specifications required by class. I really don’t see that big of a deal about these cars other than that. I too am more impressed by what you guys call the pure class but these guys do some impressive things with these cars too. Should NHRA add them? It shouldn't matter I mean how and why would it affect the other classes that you run other than having possibly more cars at an event. People just don’t like change, I look at like this if I ran our business the same way it was run 30 years ago where do you think we would be? Sometimes you have to change with your surroundings and environment. Just my thoughts and again I apologize to Mr Gary.
