Hey, drooze. Why don't you just ask your driver? I'm sure Big Al knows a thing or two about sponsorships. :)

The first thing I would do is not get on the internet and let those that have been good to me so far know that once I'm famous I'm going to skewer them!
Your akin to those that get on Facebook and show their party to the max pictures and oh, my boss is a looser.
The boss has the same access to the internet and you know what happens from there...:eek:

Marty....A BIG THANK YOU for saying what most of us have thought about Drooze. I've had a hard time not posting something like you did about him but decided I dont need or want to get involved in a pissing match with him. I can not believe some of his posts. Like the one post Drooze asking about pit space at Pomona the guy has to be clueless knuckelhead for just posting that one post alone much less all these others. Like you I dont believe he has a race car or has ever even been to a drag strip in his life he is truly a wannabee enough said. My guess now that he knows we all know all his posts are just a farse he will go back to golfing or his yacht lol ???

I think DROOZE has a plan,and I think the "plan" is going to work out for him.

When he gets his car done,it doesn't matter who is the driver.

EVERYBODY will want to beat the car,and he or his driver will be the beneficiary of about 7 redlights in a row!

Allright Drooze,
Enough of this post whoreing. I've been visiting this forum and at this class racing thing 20 times longer than you (and I'm one of the younger ones) yet have 1/100 of the post you do. You avg. 3.17 post a day. It seems that you have an opinion on everything, but don't know ***** about class racing. My advice, Keep your mouth shut (that includes your keyboard) and find someone who knows what they are doing and can stand you, then learn from them.
Maybee you don't realize it, but asking about how to manage your second major sponser, or how you can build a car that will run 4 seconds under the index, or how you plan on making money on building a class car really strikes a nerve with people (like me) who have an extensive winning record, Thousands of unrecovered dollars in, with no real sponser in site, and have NEVER been 1.00 under the old index. I'd say 4 out of 5 of the people your asking these questions to are just like me.
Just because you have a brand new bogus car, and a "Former World Champ" driving it, doesn't mean you will turn that little light on right past the finish line. In fact, with the crap that flies from your mouth, and dealing with a new car, I'd be willing to bet your team's round win-loss record is heavy on the loss side. You arn't going to keep many sponsers like that, and you've allready alienated at least half of the people on this board from even wanting to talk to you in person (other than just to see if your as egotistical and ignorant as the character you play on this board). That aint going to sell that product either.
This is one of the few boards on the internet that is not all about who can run thier mouth the most about useless *****. I'd appreciate if you kept it that way so I don't have to sift through your hog wash just keep up with the topics.

BTW, The only people who care about your bike stories are the ones who run bikes down the strip, and they don't post here.

I'd guess that most on here have, at one time or another, heard someone say " I laughed so hard I almost **** my pants!" Well, the last day or so I've been feeling a little 'sluggish'. Maybe some of you more 'senior' guys know what I mean? Anyway, I've been following this thread with some small measure of amusement...........that is until I got to Marty's post. Things got ratcheted up several notch's. Then, an even better post from Hagen Gary that was a classic! Long story short; I did manage to save the trousers.

Fellers, it's true. Laughter really is the best medicine. I feel a new spring in my step. Thanks to all for the therapy! Don't anybody be shy now, please feel free to join in!

P.S. Tasted much better than prune juice. LOL

Ditto's to all you guys particularly Ken! Unfortunately it is quite a way from computer room to bathroom. I had to stop and toss my britches out about the 1000 ft. mark, unfortunately causing me to miss my dial by quite a bit! If I hadn't bought that new converter , I might have been able to afford indoor plumbing! If I continue to follow this Website, I may need a balistic diaper.... do they come in size 42? Thanks John Irving:D
