He has a nice Top Sportsman car. plain and simple

Greg

ps after t shirt sales , he might be able to buy 6 tenths

it was probably cheaper to enter a class like pro mod than to pay a 3-5 day spectator ticket.....

Selling anything is prohibited I believe without a contractual agreement with NHRA during their events. Selling Tee shirts is probably a no-no...

So on that first run I understand he just bypassed the scales and fuel check, since he knew the run wouldn't make the show. He certainly did not embarrass himself so far this weekend, has handled himself professionally and from all accounts, understands exactly where his program is compared to the rest of the field. He's not last on the qualifying sheet and making gains every pass. And... the crowd around his pit area is probably bigger that any other racer on the property. I heard that traffic control had to assist him just to get to the lanes for Q2.

He DID stop at scales and fuel check on his first run. I was told his fuel did not pass because the alcohol he brought from home had water in it. He bought new alcohol and passed fuel check on the second run.

Does Big Chief have a stock, or super stock car ?, last I checked this forum is titled Stock and Super Stock.

Thursday and Friday there was a line in front of the Midwest Street Cars trailer, a small trailer. Shawn Ellington ( Murder Nova ) was selling shirts, talking to fans, and taking pictures with them. I stopped in when he came out for pictures and listened to him talk to the people, nice guy, seems to get and appreciate the thing they got going. There were more people at their trailer than all the other trailers combined that I saw.

Does any of this relate to Stock/Super Stock? Maybe. If you look at two shows, PINKS and Street Outlaws and how they became popular its obviously TV exposure. Now I would never, although I know very few of you, expect anyone on this site to be involved in the fake drama **** on those shows. But there could be a way to start exposing S/SS on TV like the show after the national event two weeks ago. Maybe some of the racers here that know promotion could create an idea to sell to Pullin or the Discovery Channel guys. That said it would still have to be aimed at a younger crowd

Total embarrassment. 100%. There's one simple thing about a drag race. Winning. Most of us don't live for hype. Screw that excuse. We don't enter events or Classes we know we CANNOT win. We build cars to hopefully win. Period. I don't give a crap about anything else. T-shirt sales, (Which you cannot do at NHRA events.) So that's out. Anyone worth their salt races to do one thing ~ WIN A DRAG RACE. This guy is like the kids on the losing ball team who all get a trophy. When he gets a real bullet maybe then he can compete.

He will be back !
Got good mojo!
