We're not here long enough to worry about the small things in life.

No hate here. You may remember that I ran with the IHRA for quite some time. I ran some goofy combos from Pure Stock to Stock GT. It was a lot of fun. I even started to build a front wheel drive crate motor car until Baker killed my combination. Things began to go down hill when they started doing the double headers and turned it into a bracket race. Before that the car counts were pretty good around here.
