Tommy D - We will welcome you with open arms to the association!!! Between the D-1 S/G Champ and You we can have a Comedy Show every Saturday Night after the BBQ!

Should have a schedule very shortly....Lucky, Tom and I are still hitting our heads against the walls!

As far as the oildown penalties......you almost have to say "BOHICA" - Bend Over Here it Comes Again!!

Based on our past ... the freebie means nobody in my family would have ever been fined a dime from 1999-2010.

The new oildown fee could cost Terry Haddock $30,000 this year! Every time I hear Danny Northrop yell POW, I don't know if he's telling me to hit the tree harder or if he's doin a Terry Haddock impression

Very funny but true.......

Over the years there have been a number of Fuel racers that fit that image. And some went on to stardom.....John Force is one that comes to mind.....there were others that were much more spectacular but I am not naming names.....

Maybe NHRA could do something FOR sportsman racers instead of TO them....

How about overseeing the contingency program like it used to be. If a company hung you out on a payment the nice lady in Ca. would step in and get you paid....Her name was Shirley Bunce. She got things taken care of right quick.....The last time I was owed a payment the NHRA person in charge I spoke to was about as helpfull as.... nothing......I am told pretty regularly by Div 1's resident standup comedian that payments from some companies are coming on a slowboat from China.... Thanks NHRA for administering this program so well.......

How about NHRA listens to it's racer reps and makes rules that agree with their input. The reps have unanimously voted to allow something and NHRA Tech decides something different is needed. A brake issue that is well known by dragster racers......Give us a reason with specific examples of how or why it is necessary to defeat something that car builders put in cars strictly for the racers safety....
