Tony, we may all pick our poison but the poison recipe ended up changed. Long after we knew what the old recipe was. i.e. No more mine shaft races!! Runs only .65 and over count. The old recipe was bad enough. This one could be a combo killer. Gainsville will be here before you know it. If you took everyone that ran at Indy and put them into the Baby Gators with the normal air they have there. Half the field would be 1.20 under. For those that want to bring others down to their level. Sorry for you guys that don't have as much money as others that race. You knew that when you started racing. Sorry your too lazy to work on your car or just don't have the knowledge. Or that you don't really care about performance as much as others. I did it on a shoestring budget for a long time. I worked on my cars all the time, and tried things that were not expensive. It makes a big difference when you actually work on your car and try little changes during time trials. BP

I should have just picked a soft combo. Put a junk yard motor in it and then complained it's not fair. Everybody goes faster than I do. They all must be cheating or their combo's need to get hit with HP. Poor me !! BP

Barry Parker- most of the folks I know from the south are nice. It appears that you have gotten cranky since moving to paradise

BTW- I am offended! LOL

I think that any combo that gets HP should be torn down. end of story

Since we are sharing Thank You during this Holiday season. To ALL 428 FE racers: I Do Not see any 428 FE National Event winners nor LODRS winners this season. (Correct me if I am wrong as they deserve congrats). Other than a Win, INDY Class, LODRS event Class, what is the reason to run hard, just to add weight to break more parts?
Stupid.

IMO, If you don't win, Who cares how fast you lost 1st Round.

Billy Nees · 12-14-2023, 11:37 AM

Those big over-inflated egos!

B Parker · 12-14-2023, 12:56 PM

Ya know at one time you would get Contingency money for winning Class at an Event. And for some of the Events it was a big deal to win Class. Now all you get is the possibility of getting HP. Seems like an equal swap off !! Hmmm, I guess we're keeping up with where this Country has gone in the last 40 years. Congrats to all that ended up getting HP. You earned it.
LOL BP
