The last time I got it hit it was still a C/SA car, it wasn't me that made it an A/SA car.

How is it destroyed anyways? It can still easily run 1.20 under?

Sorry you feel that way. But that's your problem not mine.

Well since the racers are to busy fighting back and forth let the spectator comment. You don't have to play sportsmen verses pros, but you have to grow the sportsmen ranks to get better and more productive pros. Look how many of them came through the sportsmen ranks and some through the class ranks. Didn't it make you smile seeing jason line run in stock? First thing fuel has to be 1/4 mile that's what fans want who cares about the time at 1000 ft. Take fuel and power to slow them down do we care if they are only doing 310 instead of 330? Overhaul all class rules for cheaper ways which will pump up car counts which will make the purses bigger. In s/ss look for sponsors just for those classes, pay money for class records. Speed brings fans, personally I like shoe polish racing you have to have skill and can race just about anything. I was at the dutch and was just as impressed by the bender wagon and what it could do as I was by the numbers the new stockers put up. We need new blood in the stands I keep saying the friday night street racing at local tracks should be made into its own class. Run them at divisonals and opens purely street legal with registration and license. Has to be bracket so any car can enter you will have young and old at the divisional level. They get introduced to bracket racing at their pace and price. Some will move on to classracing buying more products which will give sponsors more customers and more money for everyone.

.

Since Bales can only get a hp hit with an illegal engine, and he has doing it from thebeginning, do we get some of that HP removed now since that the illegal engine has been exposed????????? I am going to write the NHRA on that one. Fair is fair guys.....Illegal engines shouln't be able to penalize everyone else racing that combo.

How many times did he take a hit for this combo without getting torn down? And come on guys, that engine has been apart enough times since it was delivered that "somebody" had to know that it was illegal.

Irv, at least when we did get hp, we did so with a legal engine. We successfully passed teardown. So pease don't put us in the same category as someone who has no skin in the game, and only gets hp when running an illegal engine.

But Irv, it would appear that we are still running well enough with that combo. And actually, the 5.7 doesn't look too bad after the hit the 6.4 took last week.

Dang, I thought racing was supposed to be fun? The ONLY thing I'm guilty of is keeping my foot to the floor at a couple of races. Why so angry?

And stop already. You've made your point in your page long personal blog about me and your jabs in some threads here. Even though it's so far from reality. Do you actually think that we would of gone for the record knowing that we would be torn down and inspected if we knew we had illegal pistons in the motor? C'mon now. I might be some idiot kid with no skin in the game, that knows nothing about racing, and is a joke of a driver, according to you, but no one is that stupid.

I don't know why you are trying so hard to convince people that I'm a bad guy and am clueless?

One good thing is the people that matter know better, and that's reassuring at least.

To the self proclaimed "Combo Hitter",

It is nice to know that you read my blog. But why would you think it was about you. It didn't even say Indianapolis.

As for everything else, actions speak louder than words. I only stated obvious facts and I never expected you to know absolutely anything about the motor. It isn't even your car.

But as you said, and the only thing with which I can agree, is that the people who really matter, really do know the truth.

Have a nice day.
