what is wrong with the national events

[Wade Mahaffey]

Keith, you could have taken that money and bought a set of street tires, mufflers, and tags, and have some fun with me on the street. Take a break from the aggravation, till they get their stuff together. Then you can go back. Put mama in that mopar and come on up to Ocean City in May for the Cruzin O.C. It's alot of fun with no aggravation....leave your B/P meds at home...don't need um!

Oh....did I mention the all you can eat seafood !

I've run a few national events over the years but over the last couple the handwriting is on the wall they dont care about sportsman racers. I like going to national events to see my friends & have a chance to get the Big Wally & contingency money but as we can all see thats is going down hill.ZMax is a beautiful place but it is all about the show not for me anymore.Ive owned my Vega since 1989 it weighs 2900 lbs goes 150@ 9.90 that was the 3rd time since I owned it that it would not make it down the track! Warren Johnson said it a few years ago that they are ruining the sport for 32 cars he hit the nail right on head!

I too did the slip and slide 2 step dance about 800 ft out, last time run and 1st round.
I dropped 1/4 lb out of my tires to help, but it was like ice down track. I've heard that there are issues with the traction compound but don't know for sure. Just a real shame we all invest time and $$ for such a waste of runs. See you at Div 3 in Indy in a few weeks.

I think Gary has some video of the camaro on a slip and slide pass if he can share.

I have never been on so many marginal tracks as this year. I have lost traction at Atlanta and Gainesville. I have no Idea what they are doing different but but WOW this is not OK! If any of you Dick Heads in charge actualy read, your going to kill someone.

I agree with Jeff.
Something has changed this year over last year.
I do not know what but something has changed.
Only NHRA knows.
From East coast to West coast it is the same problem.
NHRA has always been known to get the show done no matter what but this year is totally out of hand.
My 2 Cents

I have been trying to talk Kevin Sway into this but I am wondering how many people out there would be interested? Have a .90 Gamblers weekend (Similiar to the Mitchell races)
3 races- fri,sat, sun run the .90 classes with Top Sportsman and Dragster....No dealing with NHRA or sticker money.... cash at the end of the day

This is a link to Tommy De's pass, I'll try to upload more.

I think if the timing of race was right it would draw a lot of cars! I'll be there would also help out in organizing it! Call me 732-239-6490 Tommy De
