Did they pull a name out of a hat to see which class would run this weekend?

This is what I don't understand..! Where were all of you when there was the "meeting" in front of the moterhomes? Two people are fighting for racers while the others are in DUH mode.It's so easy for everyone to come on here without a FACE!

This problem was not created by NHRA or Bob Lang. They are just going about there normal business. NHRA racers DO NOT have any balls. When this **** happens, it's so funny to watch. One by one people get on here and bitch. Then next week they will go trailer to trailer and bitch but when an official speaks.... OHHHH they crumble! just like what happen the other day! Bob and Lex show up and almost everyone got on there knees.. IF YOU DON'T TELL SOMEONE THERE DOING SOMMETHING WRONG THEY WILL NEVER KNOW! No ever takes a stand..

Does anyone on this board realize that when we go back they want to have fastest car win class? There is no reason for that! We have FOUR categories, there's enough time to rebuild my stocker in between runs..

So it's not NHRA that is killing this sport. It's the racers that let themselves be hearded around like cattle by the ranch owners DOGS! We need to be the DOGS!

Bitch on people.. Bitch on!

[James Perrone]

Agreed
Now Keith tell em how you really feel!

This will start a mountain of hate e-mail to me but what the heck -

I was there like many of you -and listened to the words of Director Lang and Mr.Dudas and didn't hear anything I didn't agree with - in my mind they did what they could under extreme circumstances .If anything the info could have been a little quicker but probably they didn't want to jump the gun into a decision they would regret .Plus the fact we were receiving info from the e-mails of Kent Hanley all day - BTW , thanks Kent - job well done as our rep .

While on that subject - I've been doing this a couple of years now and one question comes to mind - when's the last time your Division Director came to where you were parked and and answered all your questions ? And was subjected to disrespect and ridicule .And still stayed ..........think about it .If I were Mr.Lang the meeting would have been over in the first five minutes .

You can say all you want about they're my friends and I'm pro NHRA but the fact is they weren't forced to come to that parking lot - no bosses told them to ( yes, I had the kahunas to ask ) - they did it to help us understand what was happening and get thru a bad situation .It's my feeling they did everything they could to accomodate us .

As for the SuperStock class deal - seems to me class will be run in a normal fashion according to the schedule that has been posted on the Division One website .

One last thing - I do have a face ( maybe not pretty but one none-the-less ) and I'm not anyone's dog ...................

Disrepect Jack? Come on, we the racers have been disrepected for years. You are a puppet. When you disagreed with what they said why didn't YOU say anything. Just stand back and take more pictures... Wait I think there's a phone ringing. Yup hey lex shut your phone off. That's disrepect.
Your not Lang.. The funny thing is Jack I'LL say this to your face. Plus NHRA should have had someone there. At the parking lot. Nhra not Maple Grove..
These people need to know face to face there are many problems. If i didn't say anything about class they wouldn't have fixed that problem. But Jack you would have been ok with that.. RIGHT!
Bitch on

Keith...the way to show them is to not give them your money.....that hurts the NHRA the worst.....I never entered...just a little fed up right now with the national event traveling circus......It's Glendora thats the problem....Bob Lang and all of the D1 crew bust their asses for us....can't take nothing away from them.......we need more SPORTSNATIONALS !!!!!
