Dan, I have to say that your small piece of cardboard is an unfair advantage just below your rear view mirror. Just to make it fair to all the racers out there, you could manufacture some and make it available to all the racers out there for a small fee of just " $19.95 " and all of us can now cut those killer lights, once you own one you can forget all those crazy electronics. You could give Dan a Little Red Wagon ( the one we all had when we where kids) and he would probably beat most on the top end with the on and off the push with his right foot.lol I'm sure that no one is pointing the finger at you in the first place. just look on utube and check out who's out there showing us how to do it properly in the first place.

Either way it would be wrong,but I was just curious if the guy even won a round.It would really make him want to sell the car if he cheated and STILL lost first round every race.

He didn't race for awhile, but I see He's back now !

Some thing you guys forgot to say was some guys just have the luck no matter what. I have see some guys win on 50 lights then loose the next round with a double 0. If it is your day its your day and if you have skill and good luck at the same time you go rounds. Tom

That would mean no more comp-you know we are nuts to be racing that class.

Maybe you don't Ed, but it sure would have been nice if Rich would have built you some more HP in that oval port rat, and showed you how to utilize it, cause you sure would be taking a lot less shi_ these days. LOL ahhhhhh

I don't think that pertains to just Comp....but I would rather be a Crazy Old Fool than just an Old Fool, therefore, I race..?!?!?! (try to figure that out LOL)

What's the cost to pull a rear end cover? Felt I better edit this and put in no reference to Dan which can drive anything anywhere as he has done in several classes.

Dan Fletcher · 10-20-2013, 07:14 AM

No Tom, I didn't twist your words around, nor jump down your throat. On a thread that basically centered around "cheating", you mentioned spot checks, I agree. But you then chose to highlight how difficult it is to win and that the odds of winning multiple times in a season must be "incredible". Your implication is clear, and that's fine, you're entitled to your opinion. Own it.

I simply stated that NHRA does in fact do spot checks, and that the opportunity is there for you to have my car inspected. That is fact, not veiled innuendo...

Lighten up? I have a suggestion for you, and I'll give you a hint. It starts with go...

Dan could give everyone a free .015 light and still beat them 80% of the time. the fact that is crazy enough to do this to feed his family makes him insane in my book. How many on here would have the guts to try it.
