I don't care to engage in internet arguments, and I'm a small guy, so I would rather not get into a physical alteration at the track over speaking my mind on a forum...


But you and your posts have riled many of us on this forum for a very long time, and they are hardly ever helpful. As I recall, you got yourself banned, and Brother Ken was generous enough to allow you back.

If you are going to state over and over again, that sportsman racers are the cash cow that keep the pros afloat you are either lying, or incredibly financially ignorant. Very simple math of the numbers in attendance, times the ticket prices for national events would make the facts very clear.


I really don't care for when folks on a class racing forum continuously poke the bear at NHRA, when class racing is already in a delicate spot with them. Lets face it we (correction, us, since last I checked, you don't class race) are a huge pain in the butt for NHRA. Between scales, fuel, tech, classifications, pairing in the lanes, HP updates etc etc we (not you) are a ton of extra work. I'm ok with class racers coming on a class racing forum and perhaps getting slightly rough on NHRA for topics that affect our classes. But I have zero patience for a bracket/S/C racer doing so on a class racing forum. Its an open forum, I get it, and Ken is incredibly patient.


Furthermore, in my opinion, (and I believe many others), you have consistently proven yourself to be an incredibly narcissistic and inflammatory person on these forums. You just took a wonderful thread where a real class racer who is incredibly passionate about the classes, is busting his butt to promote class racing, and who just got serious screen time in that interview at PRI on online, and you just decided to poop your usual vitriol on that thread.

If you are so convinced that NHRA sucks, and its all going down in a ball of flames, then feel free to find a new hobby.


And yes, you are entitled to post whatever you like on a free forum, but I hope I'm not alone in suggesting you leave your incessant vitriol to Yellow Bullet and the .90 forum that Ken has provided for you, not in the Stock/Super Stock class forum.
