[STK 1045]

Tom Turner, I'm not sure if it was your intention but please don't put words in my mouth. I never bad mouthed Zach in any way, nor did I call him a dummy. This is America, we are all entitled to our opinions. Zach's opinions are just as important as anyone elses and he certainly has a right to voice his without getting verbally clobbered. No offense, we class racers need all the competition we can get, and petty name calling and bickering certainly is not going to increase car counts anytime soon. What I merely pointed out was that I had recently purchased a very fast stocker and that any talk of heads up class runs as a debate would take the performance based aspect of Stock and Super Stock and pretty much throw it out the window. Zach had also mentioned the money it takes to be fast. I know. I watched Richard Todd, methodically build his 427 Ford Fairlane into one of the fastest stockers on the planet, and of course, his very successful dyno business in upstate New York from scratch. Let's face it the higher stock classes are becoming rather pricey. If heads up runs were to be eliminated, I could have easily gotten by buying some "stone" and not have to worry about running a faster car in my class heads up. That was my point. By the way, Tom, my name is Frank Hamer Jr., I recently purchased Richard Todd's A/SA 427 Fairlane, from Richard Todd, who is a personal friend of mine. I'm not on here to pick fights or to resort to petty name calling. If we don't actively promote our sport and constantly try to bring "new blood" into it, class racing could possibly end up on the endangered species list. Life is too short. I merely want to race, and of course, enjoy myself racing. See you at the races.
