Another problem for NHRA - Page 2

jmcarter · 08-10-2012, 01:24 PM

Obvious NHRA clearly doesn't think it's their problem; besides they are busy marketing Courtney Force, about puked when I got their e:mail offering a Courtney Force Cast Model. That and enhancements are about all you hear from them...

NHRA aside, Ontario has been road side stopping racers with both open and closed trailers for over 30 years and checking weights etc.

#1. We don't care how you do it in Ontario. #2. I live in Indy and whenever the Indy 500 rolls into town the state police have a feeding frenzy on the out of town fans who come to town. They pretty much leave everyone else alone. It just seems like we punish those who spend their money here. Nothing against our law officers, they have to follow orders. I think some states just don't make the connection between the revenue and the visitor. I'm not suprised that Mn. acts like our Canadian "America Junior" neighbor does either.

I'm all for putting Larry Morgan on the November ticket. It would be nice to have someone with stones like that running the country!

Anyone needing the page out of my DOT book that deals with this let me know, as I will be at BIR. I carry the book with me when we travel.

Tommy d, take a chill pill! Henry57 was just elaborating on how in Ontario Canada we have been abused just like you for the past 30yrs! No need for the name calling. Did someone in Canada steal your favorite pig or something? Yes, be mad at NHRA and the great State of Mn. and have a letter writing contest to Governor Mark Dayton explaining the virtues of having John Force travelling road show in his beautiful state. I've already said my peace that the pros and joes should leave their rigs park safely at home, this would send the message loud and clear to both parties.Claude Ruel

Sorry, I must have misunderstood. I'll take TWO chill pills and type you in the morning.

Try reading the above last sentence of Tommy D's letter, and then take note of the fact that in this website Henry57 is considered a "Junior" Member, and maybe you'll see the correlation between Tommy's comment and Henry's status here. I agree with Claude on this one.
