I guess I missed the statement that I made that said I sided with either side. But as mentioned before, Im not the brightest lightbulb in the lamp. I just dont understand how people can choose a car that is in the rule books and everyone has a problem with it. The new cars dont complain about having to wait at the tree for over 4 seconds at times.
Im also not sure how you can compair people getting over on the goverment and people who have found the area of a rule book that works for them. Usually the ones parking in the handicap spots, drive the benz's, and do the other stuff you listed are also one's complaing when their check that they say is "owed" to them is a day late. They also complain because some one else is doing better than them in life and they arent treated fair. This list could go one. Last I checked we ("new car guys that is") do not get anything from the goverment, nor do we expect people to just give us everything. We work just as hard at our jobs as we do on our race cars so we have CASH to buy whatever we need. We don't need a hand out. Honestly you can call me whatever you like. If its wasnt in the rule books then we wouldnt be racing it. Im not going to get in a pissing match about how i was raised and yadda-yadda. We are not cheating, we are playing by the guidlines we ALL were giving. Yall choose to race what yall want and so do we. Dont worry Hagan im not going to call you names or try to bash you. Glad to see your out racing again this year! Good Luck

Nobody has any problems with how much money somebody else has, just the bogus low hp factors. That is NHRA's doing. Not yours. Doesn't make anybody like to race new cars heads up any better.
Btw, Jeff is one of my absolute favorite people to visit with at the track. Really good guy.

Now, to further explain my analogy. A welfare Benz driver takes advantage of a system put in place by a governing body. He/She does this knowing full and well it’s only hurting the other people who are part of the community. They justify their actions by saying "I’m not cheating the system, I’m playing by the same rules everyone else is given" Does this sound familiar? While the rest of the community picks a job/car that they think will give them a little advantage if they work hard at it, The welfare Benz driver takes the easiest road he/she can find and acts like they still need to protect that advantage by voting for more relaxed rules, or in your case, running at half throttle. So, go ahead. Lay a number down in Belle Rose. Get that thing somewhat close to a correct factor. Then you can experience the fun of trying camshafts, gear ratios, ect. Instead of claiming you haven’t even cracked the valve cover yet. Good thing is, you won't hear anybody bitching about your car anymore. The whole reason you created this topic is fixed and your problem is solved. |
