I can agree with this too BUT the path to success in what we do and by success I mean winning championships, costs a lot of MONEY! without it, you're just "having fun", getting in the way of those who are chasing championships while you get off bragging that you got lucky and took out some hitter, some former champion, some racer chasing a championship, all of who have spent far more money and time then you on their program.

I plead guilty to having fun and don't mind at all to get in the way.

Fun is good but it's not why we go racing and not why I've committed my time and resources for decades. We are competitors and compete to win races as a means to championships. Our fun starts after the winner's circle photos.

Dear Ken Miele,
Please shut down this well intended thread that has been sabotaged by one member of this great forum. It's become something beyond ridiculous. To my fellow members, If you agree please like this post. If not that's also okay with me. Frank Castros |

Billly, I’m driving so I’ll keep my reply short, I’m not wanting to die today life is good and I’ve got a few more championships I plan on helping my son win before I leave this rock.
I couldn’t care any less about what you think of my comments but James agees ![]() As to being humble, that’s for speeches after the fact! Champions, winners are all in, stop at nothing to beat the other guy, know they are better than you and take great joy when they hand you your azz. Nothing wrong with that, they are competitors! Oh and I’ve spoken one on one over the years with some of the best that have ever staged a car, you’d be surprise what they have said. Last edited by 1320racer; 02-08-2024 at 05:42 PM. |

We're not racing now, where's your humility?

I've never seen anything like that, heck I lent my kids competitor a spare engine, spare alchy carb and installed it because he didn't think he could. Maybe in the "real world of racing it's all cutthroat"?? If so, not interested, life is too short to take a hobby that seriously. As you said, helmet on I'll gouge your eyes out, but helmet off we'll laugh about the run. And yes, I ALWAYS give a thumbs up to my opponent regardless of win or more importantly, my loss to them. |

My only hope when I get beat is that whoever beat me goes on to win, so I'm cheering for them, lol. I guess I'll never be a champion, but I'm ok with that, I just love drag racing, win or lose. |
