We were about 10 seconds from leaving after 30 seconds of conversation with the crotchety rotten old bastard. Fortunately all the great interaction with our class racer friends more than made up for the very unpleasant experiance.

Alex, we'd be very interested to hear about that, feel free to email or send a PM, you know how to reach me.

Sorry Alex, but this just seemed so fitting:



May be a golden opportunity for IHRA IF they play their cards right and the sponsors give them a chance - and racers follow suit..

See ya at PRI?

Alex, you can do better than that. "Crotchety rotten old bastard', I mean that ain't much from a guy like you. Soup that up a bit.

OK Jeff,

How about "Crotchety rotten old bastard in a beat up uglyass old nasty green chebbie pick up truck"?

[Jeff Teuton]

Better, but not there yet. Try again. Gee I hope I don't get on your bad side.

[Alex Denysenko]

OK Jeff and Alan,

Here is breif synopsis of how we were treated when we arrived at the Bowling Green LODRS event after a 8 hour tow.

Initial greeting and subsequent interaction between me and the "crotchety old rotten bastard driving a beat up old uglyass chebbie pick up truck".

(Note: In the interest of time and space "crotchety old rotten bastard driving a beat up old uglyass chebbie pick up truck" from this point on be known simply as CORB)


CORB: "Hey, what in the hell do ya'll think you are doin' there? You can't park there!
Me: "Why not?"
CORB: Because
Me: OK, I'll play along, because why?"
CORB: "That there is a emergency exit gate."
Me: "Where?"
CORB: "Right there."
Me: "Right where?"
CORB: "Ya'll got to move."
Me: "Where to?"
CORB: "I don't care, just anywhere but here. It's a emergency gate."
Me: "Well then why don't you have some signs posted like no parking or emergency gate?"
CORB: "Everyone knows it's a emergency gate."
Me: "Obviously not everyone. Where would you like me to park?"
CORB: "Many expletives while pointing to the way out of the track."
Me: :"Fine you crotchety old azzhole, can I get our money back?"
CORB: "Hell no!, now get them rigs outta here."
Me: " Oh yeah? Well %(&^$$*^&$*&$&#&%#^&((**)(*^)PT) you crotchety old bastard."
CORB: "Smiles and says go park up there on that hill" as he drove off in a cloud of blue burning oil smoke.
Me: "Nice to meet you too."

We moved to the designated hill and about 1 hour later Ron Terrell and friends pulled into the spot we vacated. Right next to the unmarked "emergency gate". They remained there for the duration of the event.

And to think some are actually suggesting that I consider holding the next USCN there LOL

David Glidewell did it all year, and he and NitroPlate did it Sunday when they paid $2K to win for a 26 car field at a $50 entry fee.

Racers, come race with us in Jackson TN and Bowling Green KY for the combo races in 2012. I guarantee you'll be treated like a treasured customer, and you'll be paid the full purse for your finishing position. Bowling Green even has a points fund, and they do pay the points winner as promised.

Fans, you need to come see these races. You will see a show, and it will be worth your time and money if you are a class racing fan.

Jackson also has an Announcer that knows about () that much about class racing. Shakes everybodys hand that comes to the tower. Thanks them for being there, asks them to come back and bring a friend next time. Can figure out 2 rounds of a 26 car qualifying ladder using long math. He loves doing it and if he didn't have bills to pay, would call the class cars for free!

If he closes his eyes long enough he can still hear a small block stick car!

NHRA management and board members are going to ride this roller coaster all the way to the bottom and then walk away with their pockets full. All they are interested in is financial gain for themselves. Until racers, both pro and sportsman, and sponsors step up and say enough is enough that is not going to change. National events is where most of their revenue comes from. Quit going and quit sponsoring the National events and things will change.

I have said this before Drag Racing is an addition for which there is no cure or rehab

It costs you everything you have and you can not stop
