Then you came a long and started in on me about how I dont get it and I will never understand because I dont race a stocker(how mature is that?), and how its not like it was 40 years ago. You Know what Alan? You are right, It isnt like it was 40 years ago and that is exactly what I said. You need to get over that fact and yourself.
Here are the facts: the game has changed like it or not. It may change back to the way it used to be, or it may stay the same. You can change with it or you can retire and throw fits on the message boards and in the end there will still be drag racing and more than likely stock eliminator will be a part of that........it just may not be like you want it to be.

Read the post I replied to again, and see if you can pick out the tone and personal insults. Just like this message, where you accuse people of "throwing fits". That's all you've got, no facts, just attempts to insult.
Together with my customer, we worked for 4 years to develop a competitive car, only to have NHRA pencil his $60K plus investment right into obsolescence. You go right ahead and tell me how well you understand that. If anyone needs to get over themselves, it's you. Good luck with that.
No, we won't be quitting, we won't be retiring, and we won't be silenced, certainly not by people who have no dog in the fight. Sorry to disappoint you. But guys like Bruce, Mark, Billy, Greg Hill, and I will go right on stating the facts, and making the case for what we know is right. If that bothers you, too bad, ignore it, or live with it. It makes no difference to us. We'll fight for what we believe in, for the good of the sport.
