Administrator, I guess you just can't take it personally. You do a great job on a great site. What people should try to remember is that without this and other sites like it they would be forced to gripe to themselves or maybe kick their dogs (sorry PETA). Heck, I dreamed pretty much all my life of running an NHRA stocker or Super Stocker. When I ran my first Divisional race in August of 2003 at Englishtown, I remember pulling out of the lanes onto the track so vividly I can still picture it today. I was only running a K/SA 79 Aspen at the time going maybe .20 under, but I sat in the car looked around, took in all the sights, took a deep breath, and knew I was finally there. I won first round against Schroeder who redlit, and of course Billy Nees cleaned my clock on the tree 2nd round, but I didn't care. As Dick Todd put it, I qualified and went 2 rounds in my first race, he told me " You can't ask for more than that". Maybe this sounds corny, but I am being totally honest. I am no longer just a kid in the stands. Sure the P.C. police lurk everywhere, lets face it, that's what our society has evolved into. We have to remember that beyond all the griping, arguing, and misunderstandings, that we are a part of a very prestigious community. God, I remember sitting in the stands with Chris Vignona, God rest her soul, and the Vignona's dog Axel, watching the qualifying on many a Saturday at the Englishtown national event hoping someday to be able to do this. Again, administrator, keep up the good work if thats what it takes to keep this site going and Happy New Year to you and everyone!!
