Hey Jeff, we are not in Atlanta running stock, do you think they miss us?
woodro josey I miss Buster Couch and Lex Dudas. |
Woody,
We missed you at the SportsNats that's for sure! I also am not at Atlanta, I wonder how many are intentionally not at Atlanta? They have less than half a field by my count. Jim Jim Wahl 6 Time National record Holder 2239 BF/S I miss Buster Couch also! 'cause Div.2 will always be "Buster's Rebels" |
Do you think NHRA is listening?

Do you think they really care - they'll just find something else to fine you for and make up the difference. |
Hi Jeff-Woodrow and Jim. I am not at Atlanta either, to much BS for me.
Bring back the good days. TOM WARD |
Woody, they know. I got a complaint from the beer distributors in the Atlanta area for low sales. Two things. I doubt if NHRA noticed. Still got 56 entries. Thing two. I don't think they care. It's a pro show with alcohol thrown in and T/S which is a pretty good show.

jeff,
we are running low on grey goose here in buffalo, thinking of moving in with you. got anything for me to drive? dj raiser |
Guys:
I still think we need to start our on association and hold our on races. We've just got to find someone we would all trust and has time (like a real smart retired guy) to start up and run the association. NCRA-National Class Racers Association. Any smart guys out there with the time to devote to getting this started. Also, if he did would the racers join and support the deal or just keep whining about how bad NHRA is treating them at Nationa Events. Now is the time to do it. Any willing takers??? SEB |
SEB...the association idea has been brought up and there is no way it will work until the racers agree to follow the decisions of the leadership of an association and its members.
We had two great and respected guys that gave it a try and got thrashed: Jeff Teuton and Alex Denysenko Just read many of the posts in this forum and you will notice that you can't get an agreement between racers on any issues. |
SE has a good suggestion that would be one hell of a lot more difficult to carry out than to conceive. I think Jeff has the right idea, let's just talk about it and have another beer. (Jeff has always impressed me as a "thinking man's drinker.") Anyway, by the time any plan was developed to the trial stage, we'd all be thirsty again and further development would be required.
I have come to believe that the train has left the station when it comes to class racing conducted in the way we all loved it. The avalanche of evidence is accumulating faster than we old-timers can shovel it away. Every time NHRA opens its mouth or some apologist chimes in, the pile gets deeper. Maybe what we need is a Class Racer's Reunion event? Leave the cars at home. Somehow, the current geezer rage of "cacklefest events" leaves me cold. Is it just me or is that pretty much pathetic? Just load the trailers with a carefully selected cargo of beer, Jack Daniels, and wine coolers with a bag of chips thrown in for the sake of nutrition. Arrive on a Wednesday (allowing time for inspection, parking, and a time trials for tall tales), chip eating followed by qualifying drinks would be mixed in on Thursday and Friday morning (early), with the first round of eliminations to be held just after daybreak on Saturday. Anyone left standing by noon Saturday can hang around until the finals on Sunday but everyone else will stampede toward the gates on Saturday afternoon. It's possible to over-think this sort of occasion. The best events seem to just sort of materialize out of imagination and thin air. c |
