Snowmobiles?.....C'mon man!

[Tom Goldman]

WJ was a racer before you were in diapers!.........However ,WJ, .90 racers don't seem to comment negativly about S/SS cars on their forum, and the post is about why we need snowmobiles at races that are already hard pressed to be compleated. .............I like the sleds ,I like motorcycles, but we don't have room or time for them...........We all know Super Gas [ALWAYS LAST] ...are the ones to loose when time runs short............... Mabe 1700 Camaro [BTW do you have a name?] can correct me, but I'm willing to bet the only reason they are racing at Div. races is their organization put up money to be there. .....Lets not forget ,it's all about revenue with NHRA , both at the Nat and Div. level. ......NHRA puts revenue expectations on it's Div. Directors..............Tom

Money is coming out of my own pocket. We do have sponsor's for all of our vehicles and that helps pay the way also. Div. 7 only provides the opportunity for us to race with the motorcycles/snowmobiles.

As for the IHRA National Event in Rockingham, NC. It was 2 of us doing exhibition runs for IHRA. I was already back East for a big quad race and I Volunteered. No money was paid for that deal either.

I didn't start this thread, but thought I would provide a little education on the subject. I'm a .90 class racer and there's no hate here.

Tom, I have always loved the Super Gas cars.......just not a fan of the throttle stop racing. Have been friends w/ the Sawyers for years.....I'd like to see the SG cars run w/out the stops again.... Best wishes. Warren Lederer WJ

The snowmobiles are neat....I heard they went 7.78 177....incredible....we usually see them at Stanton and Norwalk.....no biggie....and there's not many of them....so whatever.....

in division 1....time is always tight....and they don't switch the schedule around like we do in division 3...so it seems like s/g gets the screw job everytime....when theres a delay.....I be unhappy also.....tell Johnny D to get them to change the schedule every race.....so the screwing is spread around.....lol

They tried that in 07 , but when it was S/C turn they cried like a baby and that was the end of that.

There's always a loser in the situation.....I think they flip it every other race in Div 3..

sometimes it's good ...sometimes its bad....

with us in super stock now...that's a whole other set of issues....at least they don't crash....as much...lol

the only good thing about our schedule is you always know what class you follow.

Check this out and you'll find that the run order for the 2nd time shot on Friday is different at each race this year.

Atco - SG is 4th.
Maple - SG is 3rd.
Lebanon - SG is 2nd.
