You Sir and I are DEFINITELY NOT Celebrities and VIP Stars (Like the above)
that are important to NHRA's bottom line and that can get away with this sort of Behavior!

Probably just as well we are just peons and not Stars=

No Secret that you and I don't get along and
would have been probably mixed it up years ago !!

BTW: It is Connie Kalitta and Ed McCulloch is the spelling of their names.

John, I don't know why you would think we don't get along. Just because we disagree on this point. I have purchased parts from you, talked to you at the track(been years though). I follow and root for You and Jr..and only wish you the best. This in no way was or is meant to create problems. I was just making a statement that in the old days, even in the pro ranks, fights happened and usually worse than this one.

Why do you not reread your post here (2/17) trashing me.
It has absolutely nothing to do with this particular post.

If you ever wish to discuss this matter.....I am available at Phoenix or
Tucson. I will PM you my phone number as well.

Edit: You do not accept PM = (702) 563 - 9255 is mine
Afternoons only please.

If I recall correctly, there was an incident at an IHRA event roughly 15 years ago that involved a couple of racers/crew in a physical altercation. I think a may have protest started it all. I haven't seen the racer that was involved ever since.

John, I did go back and read that post. You are correct, it was not intended, but did sound derogatory and I apologize to you mostly and also to anyone that read it. John is and always has been a stand up guy, a good family man and a damn good racer. I can only hope none of my words in the post effected him negatively. The post HAS been deleted!
