Re: NHRA: are you really that blind or just stupid?
 

I am not saying it is right or fair, but I totaly disagree. Win, look good or go fast on Sunday and sell cars on Monday. I think it has been a great advertising move by Ford and Chrysler. I think both of these cars are selling and the racers building them are creating very neat race cars. Not all DP's were fast, Garlits, Pustelny and Lee did not make the cut. Anyone that reads this forum is getting a lot of advertisement for the new cars as much as you guys write about them. By this time next year it will be another car and another story ..

[QUOTE=Bruce Noland;209002 This is strictly a marketing scam for them. They don't care what kind of problems they leave behind for the racers. They are here to plunder the classes and then they will leave as quickly as they appeared. This is no long term committment by the OEM's. nhra knows this as well and that makes this fraud even more egregious.[/QUOTE]

Bruce - Marketing scam ? Not hardly as they are selling cars and at the end of the day that's the business they (both Ford and Chrysler ) are in .As for a long term commitment they (Ford) signed up to be the "Official Car " for several years ..............And I really don't think they're going to disappear in a year or two .

You and I must be getting our info from separate planets .............And yes , I'll agree the HP's are wrong .

Re: NHRA: are you really that blind or just stupid?
 

You totally disagree and then you agree that it's been a great marketing scheme for the OEMs. ??? Another car next year? Let's see what is left? The Minicooper?

Re: NHRA: are you really that blind or just stupid?
 

Whatever you say Bruce ...

Re: NHRA: are you really that blind or just stupid?
 

Then the Minicooper it is. Let's all petition nhra to get a triple turbocharged Minicooper in the Sheets by next Indy. We'll have to take up a serious collection but we can get it done if we raise enough money.

Re: NHRA: are you really that blind or just stupid?
 

Jack, so we agree the OEM's are marketing the heck out of this deal. Can you please provide us with a copy of the contract between the OEM's and nhra? Frankly, I don't think you know anymore about this mess than we do.

Re: NHRA: are you really that blind or just stupid?
 

For the 47th time Jack, I don't do booze or drugs. The weed thing is just plain old. You need to come up with something new..

Your posts about nhra policies sound so authortative at times that it may lead the casual reader to believe that you actually had some inside knowledge on a particular issue. I like the sense of humor thing. Keep on smiling because we're all in the same boat, that is, for as long as it stays afloat.

Sorry, Posts are still out of order on some threads. I know that people are working on the problem.

How about "quit drinking your own bath water" Eh ! Nothing meant here.....It just happened to pop into this old brain when I read the post.

Chuck are you trying to say if you were at Indy in G/sa you would enjoy seeing a mid 10 second run next to you in class, or eliminations???
