Entry level class?

"I" this and "I" that. "Me" this and "Me" that...

Surely indicates you are an egotistical, self-centered, J-Off who is detached from reality

Ed, this ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ has nothing to do with what I said! I SAID that you can buy one and just go racing and be under the index but you won't be competitive. Now you apparently understand numbers but not the English language so why don't you humor an old man and tell him in numbers just how many of those $250M worth of "factory stock eliminator cars" are raced in their as-sold condition? How many have been bought and put into collections, never to be raced? More than you think.

Billy, I don't know and neither do you but the fact remains, that despite you not liking it nor liking where stock eliminator has gone and continues to go, the truth is it's never been easier to compete in stock eliminator with the introduction of factory race cars. That said, there was a time where STOCK production cars competed right off the showroom floor making it an entry level class and it's still today with these factory cars in my opinion and many others that I have spoken to over the years, including current stock racers.

Glenn save some for me! This is certainly one of the more amusing threads in a while especially with opinions coming in from people that have not raced in both classes. That being said I have raced in both SST and Stock. I believe the intent of both was for them both to be entry level but for various reasons neither are now. The expense of Stock has turned it into anything but entry level and various rule changes and technology has made it even worse. Same goes for SST, with the invention of the throttle stop SST went from taking your 10.70 bracket car to you better bring a purpose built 9.50 or better car if you want to be competitive.
So the real answer here is there are no entry level categories anymore and eventually that will be an issue in keeping all of these categories alive.

Same reason you are here posting now, you're a pathetic loser!

Fact is you are more often than not a 1st round runner up at the Vegas Fling and have never competed in the Vegas Fling Million!

More facts, you don't travel outside your duck pond! Prove me wrong, AGAIN as I have done the last several years, I invite you to line up against me this year at the Galot and Bristol Flings. AGAIN, WE know you won't be there!

As to my performance last year...I just got back into the seat in 2023 of my Firebird to compete after sitting out competition for 5 years because my son wanted to compete in S/ST and top bulb with it. Further, when I stepped out it was a footbrake car and as of 2019 it's a top bulb car. Despite having never let go off the top, I was very competitive and went rounds on both entries Friday and Saturday at the Summer Fling last September AND I turned on the win light against my son who's one of the best under 30 in the country!

If you don't want to read, non-OP material, turn around & block my name or skip reading my post.

Cupcake,

I'm good with being a nobody, better than being nobody trying to be a self-proclaimed somebody like you! I'll correct your wrongs. I don't spend my weekends watching you or your son. I wait until the race is done & fast forward till I see a white Firechicken then watch YOU being a clueless driver. It doesn't take long with the few rounds YOU go!

As for your son, I very rarely watch him. As for complimenting your son on DRR, I did it on numerous occasions with both a written congrats & the big clapping emoji. You are being selective with remembering, because you were butthurt for me not acknowledging you.

Your son is the talent & YOU have zero talent for driving. All YOU are, is a glorified seat warmer!

Facts, your facts are delusional as always; keep on trying to make yourself feel better loser. Get it right, it's the Spring Fling Million.

More of your delusional facts. I just made a short racing trip 7.5 hours to Tucson Dragway for the Hangover Nationals. While I was sicker than a rabid dog & did pretty well collecting 3 checks; no wins so you don't take it out of context.

As for proving anything to you, there's no need. You have been invited numerous times to come out West by me & another to come out to race the Spring Fling Million. Guess what, YOU are a no-show loser. All you want to do is keyboard BS about it!

We don't want to hear about your sniveling excuses trying to race your Firechicken. I'm sure your son took pity on you & gave you the win light. Wow, you think you won against your son, YOU must be great. I beat Bertozzi in the 2nd or 3rd round of the Million, I'm positive he didn't take pity on me; I must be great. Get over yourself!

Again, YOU are a glorified seat warmer with zero talent for driving! Your son is the talent, that's commenting/complimenting your son! I did the same on DRR, just in a different fashion.
