Oh sorry, we ran out of time, sorry SG racers...maybe tomorrow we'll get you a time shot...

Saturday

Super Gas to the lanes...oh wait...more snowmobiles...(9:00 pm comes)..ok SG to the lanes for first round...sorry you had only one time trial in two days and have no data and the track is covered with dew...

Can you say Masga/Nessa/Bracket racing....

Throw away your throttle stops and stall-off-the-line launches and your class might be more fun and keep the people in the stands from going to the rest rooms and hot dog stand when SG comes to the lanes....8 second hard-launching, non-stalling sleds and ATV's are way more exciting for fans to watch....Until the throttle stops, most people LOVED Super Gas.....and I'm not the only one who feels this way----you can bet on that....

Hmmmm, will the snowmobile, motorcycle and ATV classes ever be over run with entrants? I doubt it; you could combine them and probably not get close to the Super category numbers. So, how much time would they take up?

we dont race to keep people in the stands. most people are just to stupid to understand throttle stop racing

hay WJ when you turn 16 and can get a drivers lic. you'll like a real car better.

WJ was a racer before you were in diapers!.........However ,WJ, .90 racers don't seem to comment negativly about S/SS cars on their forum, and the post is about why we need snowmobiles at races that are already hard pressed to be compleated. .............I like the sleds ,I like motorcycles, but we don't have room or time for them...........We all know Super Gas [ALWAYS LAST] ...are the ones to loose when time runs short............... Mabe 1700 Camaro [BTW do you have a name?] can correct me, but I'm willing to bet the only reason they are racing at Div. races is their organization put up money to be there. .....Lets not forget ,it's all about revenue with NHRA , both at the Nat and Div. level. ......NHRA puts revenue expectations on it's Div. Directors..............Tom

Money is coming out of my own pocket. We do have sponsor's for all of our vehicles and that helps pay the way also. Div. 7 only provides the opportunity for us to race with the motorcycles/snowmobiles.

As for the IHRA National Event in Rockingham, NC. It was 2 of us doing exhibition runs for IHRA. I was already back East for a big quad race and I Volunteered. No money was paid for that deal either.

I didn't start this thread, but thought I would provide a little education on the subject. I'm a .90 class racer and there's no hate here.

Tom, I have always loved the Super Gas cars.......just not a fan of the throttle stop racing. Have been friends w/ the Sawyers for years.....I'd like to see the SG cars run w/out the stops again.... Best wishes. Warren Lederer WJ
