Looking forward to seeing your photo in the winners circle Jason."

Pretty sure this was laced with a little sarcasm Jason. You pretty well insulted most of the racers here on the forum whether you know it or not. The only way I see you digging your way out of that hole is to build a car and win a few "eliminators" yourself my friend! Jim

I have built a car,2001 camaro SS to run C/SA. It's not fast enough to win class but I'm going to try my hardest to win The Eliminator, the first race is going to be at the end of the month at the sports Nationals in Bowling Green. If I insulted some people on here wasn't my intention,but so is life.

I believe you mean "Such is life". You could have done without that snide comment. Jim

This will be funny to watch. What a joke. After bashing half the stock racers on hear he is going to apologize. Hopefully you put more thought into building & racing your combo than you did about getting on here & bashing everyones you just did. Jr

Don't know what you are reading Mr.freak but I didn't apologize and I didn't bash half the stock racer on here, and if I did offend some people on here I don't care! Like one of the REAL racers said on here,the truth hurts!

Talk about hijacking a thread !!
One of many reasons I rarely get on this Forum is because of where this thread went holly S--t
( mic-drop ).....

Threads like this could be a reason that NHRA or IHRA aren't gaining any ground.
Who would want to deal with all the negativity when trying to grow their business.

MASTER PLAN

Charge more, give less.
Thursday-Friday time trials for sportsman, night Pro qualifying Fri.
Saturday all sportsman eliminations including finals, night Pro qualifying.
Sunday Pro eliminations.
Fields limited to 32 or 64 for sportsman, pros 16 or 8.

All sportsman will be a "Junior League" to be completed before Sunday.
Alky classes now labeled semi-Pro, run same as pros, but qualify with sportsman.
Sportsman grade point level achieved through divisionals. Must have a minimum of 3 to enter.
Driver registration fee at beginning of year to be eligible to compete. (similar to F1.)
Payouts through corporate.

And that my friends is what I see for the future.

U/SA $$$$$$$

That happened in 2004 with the first Cajun Sportsnationals at Belle Rose. It was the U/SA Shootout. Pat Joffrion had all us U cars parked together near the scales. There were several donations put up for the race, it was a huge success and a blast for all. There hasn't been another one since then. Bob Shaw even had shirts made up for us. We had cars from CA, KY, TN, LA, FL, MO.

As fast as some of them are going now I believe that the field would not be so great. It would be a shootout between Bob Shaw and The Flying Factored Fords, all running in the high 12's. Lets see, if I cut a triple zero and pick up a full second, they still have me covered. I know, go work on your stuff, OK anybody got around ten thou for that extra second. Maybe I should send a letter to NHRA for refactor. About 50 HP should do it.
Better yet, I need a new car with a low HP rating, like a new Challenger with a small block.

Thank you for the thought Dan.
