I just noticed the entries for the national event

We laugh at the old Jr Johnson stories, we revere Smokey Yunick's scale model Chevelle yet we take offence at nitrous in Pro Stock and Matty boxes....maybe not an exact comparison, but makes one go hmmmm

Basically we are all in control of an individual race at a particular time, as my package is vs. the package in the other lane. Over the course of a season electronics probably has an advantage, but for the local Sportsman, at a singular moment, it is in his control. Certainly fear and/or respect seems to precipitate more red lights against the "heros"; again you are in control of your response to who is in the other lane

X2. That's what I was thinking.

X3!! If we were wired right, we would be putting this money in our retirement, not be doing this with it. LOL

Sorry, 1320 ED. I don't need you to translate. Fletch came through loud and clear.
He didn't even leave anything to read between the lines.
OH Don, I have seen him red lite in competition. He ran my little red Camaro with Beard driving. He turned on the bulb just a fraction of a second before Beard did, too. I wish we had unscrewed those red bulbs for that run. He and I had been in a dialing dual in the lanes, over Beards objections, and I think we were down to holding about the same number. We both wanted to leave last. Both cars were probably very equal in E.T.'s & MPH. That would have been a pretty good race at the stripe.

Need I point out that he is human just like you and me. When it comes to racing He just has a better skill set so he has trained & polished himself a little (a lot) better than most of us. I've always thought that individuals like him have "Earned" respect, not criticism.
