[Dwight Southerland]

Bruce, I don't have a "guy", so again don't claim to make a statement about me that you have no basis in fact. It's rude and dishonest.


My original statement was "an entire season of NHRA drag racing" was somewhat unclear. It would have been better served to have stated "an entire season of NHRA championship series sportsman drag racing", but I believe the comparison was not out of line. The point was not to attack a man, but to illustrate that there are lots of considerations that probably should be considered more relevant to clean air than something that imposes hardships on so many and does not protect our freedom, but destroys it. If you have a better set of statistics or estimations to refute the facts I presented, then present them.


While I agree that no one is truly monitoring either side of the equation, government regulations that are imposed with no oversight are insidious when they selectively restrict freedoms while justifying a supposed righteous set of behaviors.


You need to stay on point and not be so personally touchy. Your attempt to confuse the argument by throwing in the fuel cars, local races and other associations misses the point of my criticism.
