If you're old enough to be Andy's Dad then you should be old enough to know that life, love and Drag Racing aren't fair. My answers to your questions?
If you're not throwing stones down somebodys throttlebody or flattening his tires AND you're not breaking any rules then go for it!
Assuming said competitor would "hurt" you then I guess it all comes down to how well you can sleep at night.
If you have the fastest DP Challenger or SCJ Mustang or Wheelbarrow full of rocks then there should be some joy in your accomplishment.
You are ASSuming that you are dealing with people that share your same moral beliefs and you're probably not. So again, how well do you sleep at night?
There sure were a lot of nice, new Ford trucks and cars being driven around Gainesville by NHRA employees and I'm sure that they sleep just fine. Besides, that's just business.
