Lane Choice

modelman1960 · 09-13-2018, 08:20 AM

I've thought about how to respond to the "R" word comment in a previous comment. My wife and I are licensed Family care providers in N.Y.S.
We've done this for 30 plus years. Living and working with 3 special needs individuals can be challenging and frustrating at times. But it reminds me of how blessed I am to have all the things that God gave me, and to be thankful for those things (normalcy). I look at it like Mr. Meyer stated in an earlier thread, and refraining from using that word shows more respect than political correctness. And it isn't wussification either.
If we respect each other more than we do, and are more appreciative of what we have as human beings, I think there'd be fewer issues in the world and even in our own back yards.
I hope that these comments bring some enlightenment and not anger amongst us all.
Be safe, and good racing in the future for you all.

This certainly got off topic.
I still like to flip coins for lane choice.

I'm with you Ed. I don't even have a discussion about lane choice. My question is do you want to call it or flip it???????????

Good Lord (sorry if that offends anyone), people go through their day looking for things to be offended about. If we make every word non-offensive to everyone, pretty soon we are going to run out of acceptable adjectives and nouns. Obviously, the $5 curse words should not be slung around everywhere, but expecting everyone to behave and speak the way you want them to, regardless if it's insensitive or impolite, offends me.

Regular NHRA sportsman eliminators have been coin flip for lane forever. The Hemi Shootout/Challenge stuff (and some other programs) are hosted by NHRA. If they want to arm wrestle for lanes, who cares. It's their party. When it comes to the eliminator, it's NHRA rules apply.
