As a "kid" in the sixties and seventies all I wanted to accomplish was to race with the big dogs in the Land of NED, and I did.
I very much appreciate the opportunity and will never forget it. It's always been my passion.
Frank wasn't it so much more fun back then. Not many held back 3 and 4 tenths so not to get HP. I've said it before on here I'm glad for a lot of the rule changes. I don't want to be running in the low 11's in A/SA. But those were the good old days. And you've named some icons of our sport. And some really good guys. Are you able to still race and do you go to any of them?

Frank if you do stop over and say hi. I have some great older pictures. I even have one at E-Town with a fan in the middle of the track mooning the other side while there trying to run cars down the track. The guy looks like Billy. But as they say all asses look the same. Sorry Billy I couldn't resist. I do have some great Photo's including that one

Easy for me.
The N.H.R.A is dysfunctional but not the enemy. Support Lonnie and his Technical Dept. in a positive sense to promote the sustainability of what we live for.

I forget to mention my D2 buddies Jim Morgan, Mark Wilson and Mike Cissell.
Give me Wedge until I'm dead!

I'm pretty sure you are correct!

Barry I've been called MUCH worse.

Billy you're starting to remind me of a news commentator. You take one line and jump on it. Then add words that weren't there so to fit your narrative and act like I said it. BP

Of course you didn't Barry. Just the facts.
Love, your local A-hole reporter.

I like to think that I've been a little bit of "help" to at least a couple of Racers (or WTB Racers)on this forum.
If you would look under "ClassRacerBuilds" you will find;
"Under the Index for Under a Grand" and
"Not for Nuthin' But Close".
They're not exactly your cup-of-tea but you might learn something. Besides, you might try "slummin'" sometime! You might like it!

Oh, and when you decide that you REALLY want to help somebody, give that somebody your car to race.

Yeah, Billy shows people how to MAKE something that they don't sell at Jegs or Summit.
The very next comment is "Billy, could you make one for me ? I'll be glad to pay you for it"
