Re: Is Bob Lang
My cars would not go down the track , in the first round of super stock we pulled 12 degree's of timing out , lower the rpm 600 and did a light burn out tires 128 , track 126 and loosen the front end all the way up . Still the car would not move off the line . It was pretty much the same in the FCS , I did not get a single clean run
I talked to a official on the starting line and he knew what was wrong and had suggestion's how to fix it , he said his ideals were rejected by NHRA brass and stated he was only a "pee ion " and could not do anything . He was disgusted with the track condition and since he was on the line he was getting a rash of shi* from everyone .
I support David Barton's stand but we should direct our complaints to the main man in charge Tom Compton and not the officials that we race with every week . They can only do so much with what they have to work with. My guess is that NHRA is cutting cost at the sportsman racers expense to save money
As a paying customer I know I cant make any money racing , I know when I figure out my cost it cost me a $700 a run with all my expenses to go to the races but I go . But when it gets to the point were the track is not prepped like a NHRA track that's when I really start to ask myself if it's really worth it .
I like hanging with everyone one at the track, racers and officials and both are not happy with what happened at Etown this past weekend . This is happening a lot more often now . Last year I packed up and left the Bristol D2 event last fall the track was worst then Etown .
Just my rant
But as Bob Bender told me this weekend keep smiling
