I'm glad you liked it but you haven't responded to any of the questions or statements so I'll just guess that you're talking out your *****.

No, Billy, you're wrong. I've made my argument. I've actually spoken to all of your points, it's quite obvious that you choose not to see it. I haven't resorted to insults, or smart remarks. At this point, the discussion has devolved into what it always does, and there's no need to continue, it's obviously pointless. You can take it for whatever you think it is worth. You can even think that you "won". At this point, I couldn't care less. I have work to do.

Say what you like about Billy's style of racing but when i saw him take possibly the weakest small block chevy engine ever made and run under the index in a 4 door Nova with it I had to take my hat off to him. Nova 4 door with a 307 two barrell and 8 into one header, who would have thunk it other than Billy.

Billy, your 4 door Cavalier is sorta of ugly.

Wow, I had hoped that transitioning from top dragster and comp to a different class would lead to some more friendly competition. I'm one of those individuals who has moved up into stock racing. My primary reason is that I am much more comfortable with the bottom bulb and prefer racing without any electronic aids. Additionally, I have grandchildren who are eager to race, and I don't feel comfortable putting them in dragsters at this time.

Now, regarding front-wheel drives, I'm not sure why some people believe it's an inexpensive option. It took me six months to source legal pistons, for a BF/S class. Furthermore, I've had to add 400 lbs to my car because it's a natural “A “car. The car is 20 lbs from B. Despite these efforts, it's nearly impossible to get anywhere close to A weight .

The front-wheel drive setup is far from cheap. I'll have invested a lot in my transmission about the same high-quality three-speed transmission. Hence, front-wheel drive racing is neither inexpensive nor easy. Nevertheless, there is a reward, as for now, it's fast.

In conclusion, I believe that everyone should focus on their own cars and be grateful that we have a place to race. Let's appreciate the opportunity to compete and continue to work on perfecting our own vehicles.

I wonder if someone will build a 68 Hemi dart, or possibly 69 AMX. Maybe a few new combinations will open up from this AAA class

There is/was a 69 AMX in Div 1 a couple of yearsago - believe car was sold - don't know where it is

A perfectly good reason why there needs to be at least a couple more FWD classes!

And NHRA, would you please try to get the manufacturers to put more FWD combos in the guide?

I never questioned Billy's style of racing, his credentials, or his accomplishments.
