ATTN Sportsman Council Members and Racers

[Billy Nees]

This thread has turned into the biggest bunch of crap that I've ever read in my life! The bottom line here is that until NHRA is willing to let the Tech Inspectors they have left that know what they're doing enforce the rules and get rid of the bogus stuff that is now running out there it doesn't matter where the indexes are, how bogus the factor is on the "other guys" combo is or how hard you work at your combo or at spending Daddys money! It seems to me that the people bitching the most aren't the guys that are at the track every weekend flogging their stuff. It sure isn't the guys that were smart enough to build the "soft" combos as they've got nothing to bitch about. It isn't the "Professional Sportsman" racers, they're too busy just getting they're job done. Seems to me that the people bitching the most are the ones that are willing to spend the most money to get the best bogus parts that they can get an Engine Builder to build them(I don't blame the Engine Builder, they've gotta eat too) and still can't run with the smart guys and the workers. The indexes are only numbers that determine the price of entry into this "Boys Club". The AHFS triggers are only numbers that determine who's pushing the rules beyond the boundarys of good taste (bit a hole in my tongue typing that). I really take offense to the "idiots" on this thread telling racers that aren't willing or able to spend themselves into debt that maybe they should find a new place to race. From my experience, these "idiots" throw a bunch of money around for a few years then get bored and leave the sport having left it a more difficult place to compete in! I've met a bunch of GREAT people in this sport and a few A**HOLES but it seems to me that right now the A**HOLES are trying to take over the sport, MY sport.
