NHRA HAS.....

[Michael Beard]

I know my posts often get really long. For those that don't want to weed through the rest of this post, the short version is, "LMAO @ smokey!"


>> Adger, my apologies to you.

Very big of you. I'm admittedly surprised to see you take some level of accountability for your personal attacks on others.

>> You, Michael Beard, on the other hand are a sand lot racer (read ihra).

FYI, I am a past NHRA Div. 1 Heavy E.T. Champ, own an NHRA Class Eliminations Wally, and finished 11th in NHRA Div. 1 Stock Eliminator in my rookie season with a 4-cyl front wheel drive car. Not that big of a deal, certainly, but I have raced in NHRA. Have you? I, along with Phil Burgess, started what became NHRA.com, and I developed the original NHRA Div. 1 website. I have been a spectator, racer, sponsor, consultant, employee, and promoter in the industry. Like your attacks on Adger Smith, your personal attacks on me are both laughable and ridiculous.

Before attacking someone's credibility, get some. Are Fletcher, Helms, Marshall, Emmons, Grubbs, etc. easier to beat at IHRA events? But then again, "If you do not race [IHRA], your opinions on [IHRA] are meaningless."

>> If you do not race NHRA, your opinions on what the NHRA should do are meaningless.

I've noted that in some of my own posts. Thanks for re-iterating. Although, I disagree with your line of thought... Should a business only be interested in what its current customers think? On the contrary, I believe many businesses advertise toward its past customers and potential future customers alike.

>> Funny how you never find fault with the IHRA

Now you really show your ignorance! LOL You must've missed the rather long and nasty thread that was around the other year regarding payouts and the dissolution of Div. 5. We've had some rather heated private disagreements this year as well. We've also done a lot of good over the years.
...and how does this have anything to do with the topic at hand?

>> which has only managed to shrink sportsman racing.

You might want to back that up with some information as compelling as how you were able to show how worthless Adger Smith's accomplishments are. LOL

>> your way of thinking are your privilege and have no bearing on anything beyond your own personal opinion.

Since you were able to concoct this notion, perhaps you could apply it to yourself. Your contributions to constructive conversation have been negligible. In this respect, even Ed O'Brien rates higher than you. Although he also enjoys belittling fellow posters, at least he expresses opinions on given topics!

You do amuse me, though, which is why I continue to waste my time with you. Maybe you'd care to post something constructive regarding the topic, though?
