Not at all.

Lets start with the big mouth part first. You didn't come over to me at Gainesville. We were in the lanes getting ready to run class and we had a candid conversation about the way we felt about these cars with no vitriol from either one of us. You certainly didn't have your little chest all pumped out at the time and I'm surprised to read your creative account of our discussion. As I remember our race didn't go so well for you.

I remember it exactly the way you do. I really wasn't expecting it to be that easy going as you had been giving me the same attitude on here then as you are now. As far as the race, it is still one of my favorite runs ever. I got great photos!

The solid rear ends were allowed in Corvettes because as an axle ripped through the fiberglass floor or a Corvette while racing and destroyed a racers arm. So, yes safety is important.

I am not arguing with that. But, it opened the door for what came later on the newer Corvettes and GTOs, which opened the door for what has been allowed for the 2008 up cars.

I like the dime rockets, they were production cars and don't represent institutional cheating by the OEM's.

I like them too. I don't agree with the last part. Jesse posted a letter from NHRA to him (on Facebook) that was written in 2008. It doesn't show any of the narrative that you have been pushing.

On the other hand you represent all that is bad about this sport. Buying your way in with a bogus car and trying to blow smoke about it when we all know the truth. The rules do not have to change when a system is corrupted by the OEM's.

You are welcome to your opinion. For the record, I was racing Stock long before the new cars. Also, when you beat me at Gainesville, pretty much everything in the car was home grown.

I'll be at Indy. Maybe we can visit in the lanes again.

Free country.
