I have raced NHRA for decades and likely before many were born.
This year is bit limited frustrated by a repaired shoulder.

Again you are attacking me instead of the issue.
Raced on many tracks ill prepared and not properly prepped.
Including long before VHT was invented.

Getting back to your comment!
Skin in the Game is being here for the betterment of our sport.
The whole sport !!
Being provocative just enough because NHRA is looking at this web site.
If they are not, they are being negligent.

As for Soccer it is a very competitive sport.
Lets see how you deal with hot games and ill mannered parents, coaches and players.
Much like some of the behavior here.

You want to know what SKIN in the Game is ?
Become a Certified Ref in any Sport including Drag Racing.
Yeah they have their versions. All organizations do.
Then have to deal with yourself.

To give you an example of my experience.
Ref an intense Sport is not much different than the Public Protection Industry having to deal with the public.
Involves the Good and Tough.
You train for it and recognize how to deal with the behavior.

We all play in a high risk sport that insurance companies fear supporting.
Try getting Life Insurance if the Broker knew you were racing.

One last thing.
Whether you want to take me seriously is not my problem.
It is yours...

See you at the races.

Dan,
Let me be clear. I think you are entitled to your opinion. And that's it.

Like many others here, I don't buy your soccer comparisons to nhra and feel you are incorrect about "Mr. Barton." You make many strong statements and yet you were not at Englishtown and you were not even eligible to race at the event.

Finally, I do not take your long winded posts seriously and do not consider it to be a problem. But, I do think it is important to point out that you have pushed yourself into a discussion that has no impact on you or your racing. This debate is about the poor racing conditions at Englishtown and a racer who pushed back against those conditions. We need to support his struggle.

I'm going to get some popcorn before your next installment arrives.
