You are an idiot. I hope you never lose a friend and have someone like you sum in up in such a callous and thoughtless manner. May you always remain an X tech man. With that attitude and thought process the sport does not need you.

ALL of you can BITE ME.....I NEVER said to hurt or kill anyone......I woud never wish injury or death on anyone (except maybe the current Govt. administration) Just get rid of the cars (if you cn call them that) or change the rules that are causing this mayham. Some have more money that brains, skill and talent to run one of these rocket ships. Its an ego thing. All of you on here seem to read put words into a post that are not intended or in print. If NHRA cannot and will not slow this junk down with rule changes they do not need to be on the track. Get rid of the class if they cannot be made safer. John Force took it up on his own dollar to make the FUEL funny cars safer. These people will not. YOU the sportsman racers are paying for NHRA's mistakes and lack luster look at better saety rules and inspection. Why is it that the Alcohol cars are losing their brakes and having chutes rip off on a run and the Fuel cars are not? Racers are complacent....they will run even though their car or track may be unsafe just to get that last pass in. They put the run ahead of their own safety and you know it as well as I do even if you wont admit it. A lot of todays tracks are OLD, way to short for todays speeds and not well taken care of. Look what happened to Woodro in Florida. You can and are your own worst enemy when it comes to safety. At least the Pro Stock racers have the balls to tell NHRA NO I wont run on that junk track. So quit putting words into my post that are not there and check your own equipment. Look in the mirror and see if your program is up to par. It seems that a lot of these wanna be fuel cars are not.

Wow,
No enthusiasts want to see a car crash or anyone in their right mind. But I lived in Indy all my life and most every time there's a death or bad crash at the INDY 500 that corner or spot is sold out the next year ahead of all the other tickets. That sickens me!

I don't think x-techman was condoning wrecks to happen, just if these tracks are allowed to "economize" with track preparation its inevitable for crashes to occur. Historically something really bad has to happen inorder for change to occur. The unfortunate death of Scott Kallita is an example of changing the distance in the fuel cars.

This isn't a wish or a witchhunt boys and girls, it's a hard look at reality and somebody better do something or it will be a prophecy! Ive been to some of these so called prepared tracks and they are AWFUL

The Pro Stockers are smart to leave, we can't want to race so bad that we take these chances.

God,

help us all help each other race safe

I think Billy Nees said it all, I find it funny how some people use words to discredit a statement that is not in accordance with their sentiments. I understood exactly what he meant in his quote, they're wasn't anything said wishing anyone any ill faith. The man was expressing his opinion, knowing that some, might use his words against him. It's call free speech not political correctness. Claude Ruel
