1. as piedmont's track manager, your post doesn't say much about your professionalism and calls into question what should be your unbiased decision making should an issue arise between pairings, the ladder, bye runs, etc.

2. no where in my post did I state I am "so good on the bottom"

3. I'm a bracket racer, not a grudge racer. We don't race best of anything, we race each round to eliminate except in North Carolina where there is no tech inspection and where you can buyback until you run out of $ and if you're "lucky" enough to hold the "mulligan" that's drawn, they'll put you back in the race late in the rounds.

4. my comment about beard's bad day was to show he's human too as beard never misses and opportunity to tell everyone how good he is even in this thread about alleged NHRA inspections for cheating in super stock, stating his every round reaction times of his good weekend.

5. I have supported beard's thanksgiving race in the past as well yours and had every intention of supporting it again this year with a double entry, being that it's back at piedmont which is a far better facility than that dump known as cpd, but based on your comments above, and questionable unbiased decision making skills as the manager, I'll pass and I'll be sure to let my friends know who were on the fence why I am not going.

6. when/if beard shows up again at numidia, I'll make every effort to line up with him and based on his comments, his car will help me to facilitate his out of here in 10 minutes routine.;) Better yet, my kid could run him.

7. that all said, why make this about beard when you have made it about you and me so here's what I'm thinking...no time shots, no buybacks, no mulligans, no best of 7! You line up against me, put a number the window, 1 time,1 round in a legal/no electronics, footbrake launched door car and we bracket race. Both cars are inspected immediately after turning off the track by the track manager and you/I. Race and inspection will be video'd. The loser donates $5,000 within 48 hours to the winner's legit, incorporated, nationally known charity. The track chosen will be halfway between us. Hell you even get a tax deduction. So put up or shut up!

8. BTW, I'm with you, I don't care about the car that you witnessed run 1.28 60 foot in 2007 that I sold 5 years ago, that a another poster felt compelled to talk about in this thread. My current ride is far more impressive and 60 foots as quick as 1.17! :D

Ed, heres the bottom line, the red chevelle you formerly owned ran a best of high 10 ohs in negative air with a oval port production engine with 1.3 60 foots and high 4.0s in the 330, hardly impressive compared to what several chevelles the same as yours have run today. Fast forward to the 522 inch aftermarket engine in the same red chevelle, 9.89 @ 134, high 1.3 60 foots in negative air, again hardly impressive in comparisome to what several of us have run with production oval port heads. Several times myself and others have asked you to post your claimed 1.2 60 timeslip, you always refuse, you said you ran that number next to a racer out of Jenkins shop, this racer out of Jenkins shop did not ever remember that 1.2 60 foot you claim. You have stated on this forum you have the time slip, since this is such a topic of discussion on this forum why don't you just post it and put this to rest, seems logical to me. As far your 522 inch SS/GT goes its going to be hard for you to garner respect on here seeing this car was run with 522 inches of aftermarket big block, personally I would like see what would happen if Grossi and his peanut port , flattop, Q-Jet GT car got ahold of you and your aftermarket 522 @ Atco, Im pretty sure I know what would happen. BTW what did you replace the 522 you blew up all over the track with? One more thing Ed, how many of you on here believe a Mallory 140 fuel pump with a return would supply sufficent fuel on a 3625 pound nine second chevelle?

Sorry Dan but I would never accuse anyone that they may be doing something wrong, I believe that's the tech officials job. I just feel that there needs to be regular spot checks for driver aids. Just like fuel, weight, legal combo, and safety. I have not heard of any of the Stock or Superstock community having their cars spot checked! All I said is I would welcome driver aid checks. It seems that no matter what anyone has to say here someone is ready to twist your words and jump down your throat just because you have an opinion! Lighten up, no one has anything to worry about unless they really do have something to worry about?

Well I know some cheaters !!
A couple years ago I had this guy hounding me to trade my 69 Camaro stocker for a crate motor car. One day when He called I said ok but I wanted the car the next day.
Well sure enough, He was at my shop with the car the next morning.
Deal was trade plus He would give me $3000.00
Well when he was at my shop he only had $1,000 but promised he would send me the balance when He got home. I'm still waiting for a $1000. of it.
Looking at the car when He left I realized the wiring was a mess so I had a friend take it to his shop to rewire the car,,,, BUSTED !!! We found a delay box hidden in the car,, We took pictures of the whole set up and sent them to NHRA and IHRA.
To make matters worse the motor had a SS cam in it...
I hate a Cheater !!!
No,,, it's not the white car I have now,

Either way it would be wrong,but I was just curious if the guy even won a round.It would really make him want to sell the car if he cheated and STILL lost first round every race.
