That's probably the best for you. There are folks out here plowing through some of these threads with absolutely no skin in the game, which may cause some confusion for visitors to this site. Take Tom Broome for example, Drag Race Central has never heard of the guy, and yet here he is just swinging away on this thread. It would be a good idea for folks to identify themselves as non nhra National and Divisional racers, even if they do not have the courage to use their real names.

I didn't know that owning a nice Corvette Stocker made you more qualified to speak to the Corny-Virus issue than the rest of us:rolleyes: I will agree however.... I am a "no namer" as I am just a dabbler as opposed to just a babbler.

I apologize that I'm apparently disqualified as a racer because I don't have a current permanent number or any listing in the "interwebs".
I apologize to anyone I have assisted, at the track(s) or in the shop(s) around the country that since I'm not recognized as an "active driver". I'm automatically disqualified from being considered a "racer" regardless of any input I provide 'behind the scenes'.
I don't intend to be shamed off this forum by any one individual. If you want me gone.....That's what moderators are for.

Now, don't you feel better. And I no longer own a nice Corvette Stocker and I have never claimed to be the final word for anything but it's good for everyone to know who they are dealing with.

Thank you. Your response proves my point. I have no interest in seeing you removed but I think it's important to know that you are involved in a discussion that impacts racers and not you. How hard is that for you to understand?

I'm a racer, what happens at NHRA races affects me also. I just fail to meet your misguided, obdurate, definition of "racer".:eek:
