Jim,

It's nice to see some people can pick out sarcasm and see the compliment given. Some folks just ride on their dad's accomplishments.

Angela,

I see that you are an educated young lady, can't believe you are associated with men who can't understand or comprehend a compliment. I was trying to take the high road but comments like find out who he is or keyboard racer doesn't sit well with me. I am a man and can admit when I make a mistake yet these few individuals will not and it's ok if they don't, I'm not losing sleep over it. People who really know me know that's not my style to bash anyone like some of these guys on here do.

Thanks Again,
Smitty

Brandon,

I didn't see where you posted you read it wrong until now unless it was removed. I believe your last post was if you weren't such a nice guy you would say some other things. I am glad that you and Angela are good friends, everyone needs them. My complaint here is that a few of you guys took something that was a sarcastic comment and twisted it like I was bashing Anthony and the IHRA. Heck I grew up on IHRA Drag Racing in the heart of IHRA country so why would I diss on our people? I compliment you regularly when I discuss who's doing what back home in Class racing. I appreciate your response on this matter.

Good job Anthony, you represent racers who made their mark and continue to make their mark in IHRA well.

Smitty how many races have you won? Not sure I know who you are.

Herb,

You know what I need to apologize, this is silly. I know what I meant and I just wanted clarify it. I see AB at the races when he comes to Florida I admire what he has done. I got a little bothered because my words were twisted. We need to promote racing and not b and moan over little stuff.

Smitty, when Brandon said "all i said was that was dirty and i admit once again i read it wrong" I believe he got his words mixed up and put the "again" where it didn't belong. He wasn't trying to say "again, I read it wrong" as to say he's already said he was mistaken, he was trying to say when he "read it again, he read it wrong".

Anyways, Big Pete is a good friend of mine, he's a good kid. Ironically, he's my age That's me being sarcastic today.

So, boys, just chill out and "get off the chip" - this was just one big miscommunication that wouldn't have happened if you were **** chatting face to face. Sarcasm (sp?) is often taken the wrong way in the live to begin with, then factor in not being able to deliver the tone and facial expressions you might have said with those statements if you said it in in person, you can expect problems with how it is taken. On Brandons end he fell victim of getting in a hurry when typing a reply and ended up with a sentence that wasn't what he was trying to say, again, something that wouldn't have happened in the live as you would have realized by his tone that he wasn't being smart, but was saying he misunderstood.

Anyways, I realized I forgot to tell Anthony Congrats. He's a very bad man. And I don't bad as in evil, I mean bad as in skilled.

You guys are arguing/discussing about crap...even Anthony could care less! LOL!






P.S. Besides Fletcher it seems the guys who win alot never post. Why?....to busy winning!

Smitty,
I think Herb Jr. was IHRA Super Stock World Champion in 1994 so he has won one or two races!
And Congratulations Anthony.

I picked up on the sarcasm right away and think it's pretty funny. And by the way...thanks for the compliment to the IHRA racers Smitty! Again Kudo's to Anthony, I think you should just chase NHRA points and forget about IHRA for this season!!!
