Re: Black Tuesday?
 

if they leave the trigger point where it is but lower the indexes .3 all theyre doing is giving the new bogus fords and chryslers more room to slay the traditional cars without running themselves out of a class. they dont have a 6# stock class and some of them will probably be in the middle classes they dont want them all in AA right off the bat . by the way evan i dont see how rain shortened youre qualifying at e-town drc has 3rd session sat morning as usual guess like been said on here before different rules for different folks.

Well since Im retired and only work my job now because I like the extra $$$$$. I would do it with a minimum of help but Im an "OUTCAST" a "Black Sheep" and have bad mouthed both associations so much that they would never use me..... lol The problem is NHRA and IHRA have a few good men but they have their hands tied and most still have real jobs and work for a living so going to all of the races is tough. To save money the associations do not use who they could to do the job. Most cant take off and travel the circut and be gone all summer to do what it takes to do the job right. I remember going to the Bowling Green Sports Nationals in 1978 with my SS/IA 68 Camero. I got down to the class final against Phil Hardee (Warren Engine) and ALMOST beat him. Lost by .03 I think and we ran with both of our feet jamed to the radiator. None of this shut off junk. So I didnt get to run the eliminator but you know what.....Just by beating some of the other cars in the class and runner uping to Phil with my home built car (except for the 4 link-Ken Keir's first job) and my home built engine that I did 100% myself I felt like I had won the world. I felt GOOD about myself, the race, the sport, and made a good friend to this day....Phil Hardee. It was a 16 hour tow for me and a great experience. I ran the Gators (14 hr tow)that year but didnt do as well....George Duff out ran me but again I was glad to be there and I was learning. I dont care what these guys on here say because the way they qualify to get in a race and most fast cars (not all of them) are bogus in one way or another anyway unless they are weak on the HP rating or index.....its all a joke today. Its more like a high dollar bracket race today. The win money and contengencies isnt worth the money and effort anymore to do what most are doing and spending today. Its an ego trip. Im off here as I have hijacked the thread and didnt mean to do so. The point is I would rather race all out and get beat (if the competition was found legal like in the old days.) than play "footsie" with the gas peddle. Get rid of the AFHS. Sorry.........

Ed, who obviously DIDN'T go to school in Arkansas, or he wouldn't write things like, "If you'd quite smoking ..." QUITE smoking???
and,

ED, who asked, "Who do you think cam e up with some of this stuff before it was legal ?"
uh, "do you think cam e up"... "Cam e up" isn't really the way that should look, is it, oh learned one????????????

ED sed: "Some where great drivers...." "Somewhere, over the rainbow???"

ED also sed,"some made a living build this stuff..." WTF is thet supposed to mean??? Do you mean "building this stuff???" SAY WHAT YOU MEAN!!!
Jeez....

And you have the hubris (look it up) to criticize MY education??? LOL!!!

As far as the content goes...

Bill replied, "Can you be more specific? Pointing fingers at a group of people, and not specifying what you're talking about (WHAT illegal parts????) makes you sound like you either don't know what you're talking about, or you don't have the balls to name names and the parts they introduced that were/are illegal." Which is it????

The two items (the disguised 904 and the too-soon 429/C-4) I referred to were run by Sportsman racers who raced maybe 10-12 times a year. Nowhere near the amount of runs to qualify them as "Pro Sportsmen."

If you don't get a lot more specific, I'll just have to assume that you're just blowing smoke... again. Exactly what ARE you smoking, anyway???

How about it, genius????? Got the gonads to make good on your accusations, or will we just have to chalk it up as another of your poorly-written flights from reality???

Re: Black Tuesday?
 

Here we go again.Ed has a CLASS CAR.YOU are a bracket racer.You do not have a
S/SS car.Any bull**** you post has no bearing on you,but it might for anyone here who runs a class car.
Go on the bracket racing section and dazzle them with your advanced education and
spelling prowess.
I'm back in black...........................

WILL SOMEONE EXPLAIN Black Tuesday?
