Obviously, no one pays you to think. Or if they do, they certainly are not getting their money's worth.

It appears that a lot of people who do not race Stock and Super Stock believe people who do race Stock and Super Stock desperately need their input.

Odd, when people who can't, or won't, do what you're doing (or both can't and won't) seem to want to tell you how to do it better, they never quite get it right. Go figure.

I never gave any input just made a observation. Like I have told you before Alan I have been around and know a lot of you guys. Funny how you assume people can't do something. I choose to do something else but I don't look down my nose like some of you elitist snobs that call yourself class racers. What car do you own Alan? Last I seen you were running Kevin's grill and your mouth. Kinda like you do on here.

Nathan,

The above statement is insulting to me and not helpful in anyway. Yes we have issues with not only NHRA but each other, but it would be like me going into the Top Sportsmen section and posting. I know many Top Sportsmen racers, but I do not presume to know anything about their type of racing. I would never go into a forum and post as you did without walking in their shoes first.

I guess I'm the sensitive type, but you could have worded it differently or just not posted.

Crisco, I guess we look through a different set of glasses...... I was insulted.

This forum is for and about class racers. We were debating the obvious need for wheelie bars when it was interrupted by several people trying to compare class cars to 10.5 cars. Which of course didn't work out for them. Now we have some bracket guys with childish chips on their shoulders hurling insults. Bracket guys have their sites and can contribute all they want but coming here just to be ugly when you don't get your way is unacceptable. Alan has raced in nhra stock and coninues to build and crew Stockers. Alan has been a valuable contributor to this site. I think Mr Stinson has shown enough ugliness to be banned. And should be.

This thread was derailed by the bracket guys and we need to return to the original intent. Which is, the idiotic ruling by nhra to change or remove our wheelie bars, at great expense and risk to the racers, nhra staff and nearby crew members. nhra tech has been reduced to puppet status by nhra and picking on little body modifications like this shows they have been neutered. Bruce isn't attending many national events and I don't think they have torn down 3 cars this year. That leaves the door open for all sorts of chicanery. How long has it been since nhra drug tested the racers?

Sorry if the truth insulted you. I can only go by what I read on here. There have been countless threads about cost, nhra, entry fees, rules etc all complaining. If I hated it that bad I would do something else.

The above is your first post. Not a good start and you are now in the same league with Ed 1320, well almost, you may not even be an nhra member and it looks like you haven't been in a Stocker for more than ten years and your avatar looks like it isn't of a class car. But this thread has had enough of your distraction. You have gotten all the attention you're going to get from me.

In a weak or poor moment of judgement, Ed Wright is allowing me to stay at his house this weekend while I am at Tulsa. I won't go into details, but I can assure you that he is not envious or jealous of anyone. I cannot say the same after seeing some of the things I have seen.

I will say something that I cannot figure out. He has a library to die for and is an incredible reader, plus his shop is immaculate. As much as he entertains us here I cannot figure out how he has the time. He must have some hidden midgets under his employ.

That may explain why I felt like my feet were being tickled all night.

Hagen,
Thanks for the comment.

Kyle,
You should consider creating several characters and writing a pilot for a sitcom. Your stuff is really that good.

KRatcliff · 06-21-2013, 08:47 AM

Thanks Bruce. I had a book coming out, but Pedigo nixed it when he saw I kept referring to him as One Hop Bob.
