If he wins a couple of more with the big Mopar they'll start complaining and the GM NHRA will legislate them out of competition.....it's not like it hasn't happened before.

It really get to me when people say that Erica does not deserve anything because "Daddy writes the check". Erica has been driving for quite awhile now. She lost her ride and went out and beat the bushes for another sponsor. She is a pretty fair driver and has spent her time as a novice. She may not work on her car, but she has worked to make the program work. As for "Daddy writing the checks" she is hardly the first to have Daddy write the checks. For one Shane Gray's Dad has put a lot of money in his program. Greg may not have the best or personalities, but he also has worked for what he has and had. None likes to lose and his just was on national TV.

Ed...you are old enough to remember when there were weight breaks in Pro Stock.

Every time a Mopar or Ford Cleveland would go faster than a GM, they would get punished.
Jeez...even the AMC's took a beating in the weight breaks when they started to go fast...

No weight breaks now. BBCs & SBCs, short wheel bases, Fords, every body got "adjusted" back then.
People just complained about (and now only seem to remember) the changes that effected them or their heros.

Yeah, they never penalized the Chevrolets, or wrote special rules for Bill Jenkins when the Chevrolets won.

Nothing like that ever happened.

Selective memory is a wonderful thing, ain't it?

It ain't like half the rule book in Pro Stock was written to stop Bill Jenkins from going fast.

It's amazing, Ford and Chrysler just hang right in there, even though they've never gotten a break, or preferential treatment, from NHRA in 60 years, while Chevrolet gets everything handed to them on a silver platter.

Why is this daddy write check stuff so important when Greg Anderson has one of the most well funded teams racing in Pro Stock. Ken Black spends plenty as well. The funny thing is that most of you have failed to realized that Pro Stock is no longer about being a good driver, you have to bring money to the table as well. Thats probably the only reason that Dave Connoly and other great drivers are not in a car now.

As far as Greg is concerned, people dislike him because he one of those drivers that doesn't always know how to come back down to reality after a loss. When he loses, its as if he's still in the car and takes him a while to settle back down. Essentially, most people would like him to lighten up a little bit when things go wrong. Unfortunately, everyone can't be the same, so the each his own. On another note, I love how Allen and Jason can't find time to joke around in the midst of the seriousness of racing, it fun to watch and in my opinion how it should be. Serious in the car, back to reality once you get out.


Also, why is that when Allen Johnson goes fast, people refer to the Wayne County Deal? Why not just express that I dislike mopar and acknowledge that Roy, Jim, Mark, and Allen are doing a great job to make their car fast?
