I just dont get it they both do stupid things and they both do great things
The NHRA bashing on here sure does get old......

I am not bashing - the are pure and simple observations. If you think it's acceptable to be in the tower all weekend rather than be with your racers, then so be it.

I race both, and I am free to say what I see.

Last weekend at the NHRA Indy Fall Classic, not ONCE - and that includes time spent with Tony in the WINNER'S CIRCLE - not once did I see our division director Jay Hullinger. He couldn't even take two minutes away from his throne in the ivory tower to come down and be in a picture with his class winners. We did however have our photo taken with the track manager, a very nice young man. And Ritch Bowers (who really SHOULD be our director as he acts more like one than Jay) was everywhere doing Jay's job. Thank goodness for Ritch.

Beth - We here in Division One have a whole different deal as our Division Director Bob Lang not only comes out of the Ivory Tower but doesn't spend most of the race weekends in it -- I've watched him do everything from fixing the plumbing to race track prep and isn't afraid to get his hands dirty- and always has time for photos ....................

We were down four times during stock Q1 for the Nitro Jam this morning - two I know of Monty Bogan, don't know if it's terminal. And Mike Beard broke a rear end again in the water box. So, if we stick to tradition, that means he's gonna win another championship! LOL

Some more pics.

Looks like around 68 stockers and about 54 superstockers. Beuatiful morning head wind beat me about a tenth. Still happy with 64 under run..

I took a ton of pics during SuperStock, too many to post the way I have been, so I downloaded them to Webshots.

See below....and enjoy!

Broke the rear off the line, but was .003 for the AllStars qualifying ladder at least! Tons of offers for parts and cars before I rolled to a stop, but whenever the rear goes it takes the sprag with it. Will be driving Zac Ross's Avenger (Thanks!). Same family that I boght the Volare from years ago. Still have a Q run and a bye 1st rnd of the TOC, so I should get acclimated. If the .003 held up, should get a bye 1st Rnd of the AllStars tomorrow too.

That's what you get for running 4 yrs of racing in one year! Seriously considering a Dana now. Gotta bulletproof the workhorse.

Thanks to all who offered assistance!
