Have personally spoken to Gary about all this, he thinks the HP factors are bogus same as the rest of us! These are the rules and he can afford it so why not have some fun! If it was all about stroking his ego why was he driving the Camaro?
There are few individuals who have done more for this sport than P.C. Richard.
Sponsoring the Open Series in Div. 1, Nights of Thrill at Englishtown, Racer BBQ at the Englishwomen Division Points Race. Not to mention the amount of $$$$ he spends with manufacturers fielding all the cars he owns and those he employs keeping his stable running! This man has passion for this sport and should not be demonized for it!!

Secondly Anthony Fetch is one of the nicest young men you will meet. He is not of the big ego "I'm great you suck I deserve to win" kind you see so much of in the young hot drivers / young hired guns. To be honest Anthony does not need to be out here, he wants to run NHRA. Am sure with the right equipment Anthony would make a nice living hitting the big money electronics and footbrake races. His name won't be in ND but students of the sport would still know who he is!
The issue here is with Ford, Chrysler and NHRA.
Point your disgust in their direction.

Signman,
Jim had nothing to do with my post. I did not mention the names of the owner and driver on purpose. You did! We all knew there would be people who would take advantage of the corrupt system that this outfit has promulgated for years. Those who have taken advantage of this system say things like "oh what the heck you only live once" and "I know these cars are bogus but I'm going to race them anyway." Which is to politely say, we have the damn money and we're going to ram them down your throat, if you like it or not. Well, many of us don't like it and for us their names will fit right in with Sosa, The Rocket and Big Mac. And my disgust will be pointed in any direction that I may choose. But thanks for the advice.
