worst red light debate, again! - Page 70

My feeling on this is N-Ihras may be keeping this unfair rule as is so it won't encourage racers to build slow cars. Most fans go for the wheels up faster cars so if the rule was changed to make it fair for the fast cars to have the chance to bulb after the slow car bulbs the fans would revolt. Maybe but we first need the fans. It is what it is but I sure don't understand why it's like it is. I will still continue to bulb with the best of them.

I think you could put Biondo or Fletcher in a slow car and they would still manage to get to the winners pay window

That's all. Jim

.Why are you up so late?

Working! Market is crazy fast again...

I'm referring to my comments which were shared with NHRA and Mr. NHRA said it made perfect sense. Re: Propagating the sport by encouraging the evolution of continuously faster cars. Look it up.

Really? I thought everything had tanked? I guess if you have money now is the time to buy?
Yup, I do remember your saying that. Maybe you could email me the name of the person you spoke with so I could speak with them also. I would appreciate it! I would be glad to keep it confidential if you like. Jim

I saw elsewhere, somebody said this thread had been deleted.
Not true, obviously
I found it on page 4 ...
I 'm sure ,with all the racing this past weekend, it was just dormant for a few days...
So, get out your little cartoons, boys...It's Back!

Hey, John!

Were you so bored you had to find the oldest post STILL on the list and resurrect it? GOOD SHOW!! I guess it's a Saturday and some of us are stuck in the garage flailing away on some broken equipment!!

(I wonder if there is a record for the post with the oldest and latest comment? I think this one would be in the running!)

John Kelley · 07-26-2014, 01:30 PM
