No worries... if you look at Nitro Joe's stats, the quickest F & G/SA cars in the country belong to some really nice guys, so it can't be one of them. Some guys like to trash IHRA and/or crate motors, like their pile of parts bolted together into an internal combustion engine is different than another pile of parts bolted together into an internal combustion engine. Oh, wait... are those the guys with the fake batteries up front, wheelie bars, aftermarket disc brakes, and superceded parts?

Angela - Yah, I was surprised when some guy wanted to drag other engine builders into a post that had nothing to do with him (or them). Particularly odd because several of them also do top-notch crate motor cars. I think each of them are quality builders, whose best crate motor pieces tend to run pretty close together. Oh, by the way... the Volare that Scott Macy is driving is Terry Taylor's old "Dem Boyz" car... I suspect a few NHRA guys might remember it...

Yeah, maybe 430 runs isn't that big of a deal, but I figured that I'd better freshen it this winter because otherwise, it'll be over 700 runs by the end of next year. That happens when you 1) race a lot and 2) go a lot of rounds. I could go silly fast like everyone else but 1) why? 2) I don't have the money. It's just me and my 1500 Ram and an open trailer, getting 13mpg. Other guys can buy -1.30 under cars, toterhomes and stackers... they don't win races, and at that point you're definitely racing for entertainment. My racing operation pays for itself.

David Buckner... is that the orange Duster I met at Tulsa? SWEET piece!

Well enough of all that... we should be positive. I feel bad for 'john holmes'.
