Reading is Fundamental

Smitty · 04-22-2009, 12:48 PM

You know I always thought this message board was pretty sane, it has it's moments but for the most part a good place to racing objectively; not like another site I am a member of. Well that changed today when a few racers decided they needed to know who I am and question my racing pedigree because I wrote something they didn't understand. Well I want to see if these few real men are that real and will apologize for jumping to conclusions. It is not my intent to get on here and judge folks, I want to promote class racing but so many of us look down upon one another because of what sanctioning body we choose to run it's ridicoulous. It's like racism, you are acred of what you don't know about. Find aout about something before you go shooting your mouth and looking crazy.

Ok enough of that, back to racing!

What's wrong with knowing who you're talking to.Do you have anything to hide?(past alimony payments,warrants,green card violation,parking or moving violations,etc).You're one of the Ford backers who sees nothing wrong with NHRAs bogus HP factor for the new CJs.Would I be meddling too much if I inquired if you either run a ford or are just a ford lover?

We'll Im not 6'7" or 320 but not a small guy either and I'm nit looking for a fight, I just want guys to be clear when they read things and if they have an issue just pm the guy or gal to get the true meaning of the persons post before you or anyone including me flames them. I have stuck my foot in my mouth before on here and was man enough to tell the person it concerned I was sorry, that's all I was getting. You don't have to bash a guys head to prove you're a man, just admit when you're wrong and move on. Thanks.

Ed,

I didn't say it was thing wrong with knowing who you talk to, if you look at the Bertozzi thread you will see that I told DJ what my name was, it's no secret. And to answer your question yes I am I Ford man and yes I have a car and it's an legal SS/IA car that belonged to Joe Hartley and was driven by Mike Saye. If you check the photo and video section you will see several photos and video clips of it on here.
