Sad state of affairs

[Mark Lewis]

Getting ready to head south to the Baby Gators and I am looking forward to catching back up with my racing family.
My wife comes in to tell me I have some contingency checks coming in. She has a app on her phone that tells what mail is coming in. She ask how much I won in Orlando, I told her the total purse and contingency. She looks at me like what?
You use to win more than that 20 years ago.
Sadly I had to tell her that is true and the money hasn't kept up with the times but I am enjoying what I want to do in retirement.Make it seem better.
Didn't want to tell her what the entry fee is now. Almost double what it was years ago and the money available is less. Good thing I enjoy it because I can bracket race locally for 1/4 the entry fee for the same money and be home in 20 minutes.
Well that is all I am heading south. Hope to see you there.

Unfortunately,that's the way it is.

And yet most of the folks who frequent this site look down their noses at the idea of bracket racing. I will never understand that.

You tell her how much you win?

Of course, the downside of being non transparent is what someone famously said "My greatest fear when I die is that my wife will sell all of my stuff for what I said I paid."

That is not my greatest fear, however. Mine is that there is actually a God and St. Peter reads aloud my Google searches at the pearly gates. My only hope for getting in might be to outdraw him in high card.

Be sure and ask him what he thinks about the AHFS.

I will be able to ask the one that wrote it based on where I will probably end up.

I think the saddest thing here is that you keep complaining , day after day, week after week, why do you continue to do it if you feel this way. Kenny should change the site to class whiner instead of racer.

And yes i have raced stock before, still follow and also road race where we dont win sh!t, so be haply you get something.

I had the race on all day yesterday from Gainesville. Didn't see any shoe polish on any class cars. We know what your getting at, but blanket statements like yours are BS...

Freddie:
All bracket racing has is safety rules,
Class racing has specs on the car Specs on the Motor, A-class car can set national records. A class car indexes are set by NHRA .after all these specs a Class racer can use the shoe polish if they want to, and in most cases, A-class car is very expensive if A racer has the budget or a racer can build a car inexpensive car and can pick a class and run under the Class Index and still win some rounds
