Once again a bogus combination

Bruce Noland · 04-20-2010, 01:14 PM

Guys,
A reasonable compromise would be to simply put the crate motor cars in their own classes within Stock and Super Stock. Nobody has ever given a reason why this wouldn't work for everybody. Sure the guys with the new cars want to think of them as new Stock Eliminator cars and they want to take every advantage that is made available to them. But we aren't dicussing advantage. An avantage is when you need a 2 pound hammer and walk over to the tool drawer and whip out a 3 pound hammer. This is a 28 pound sledge hammer that we are discussing. Nobody disagreed with my thoughts about privileged rules in other sports. SO, yes we could come to a decent compromise. And thanks to the Internet this debate will continue to roar well into the future.

An OEM executive was quoted during the Las Vegas race - "we were not going to come back to drag racing unless we enjoyed certain advantages." Well they got their advantages. Let's see how it works out for them.

One more thing. What makes you guys think we have no rights? Is it written down some where that we don't have rights?

Thanks to Kenny for allowing me and others to post our thoughts on this issue. I know first hand that this is a difficult experience and I appreciate his tolerance. We always come out of these debates with more knowlege and understanding of the issues that effect our sport. The weary old horse may be on life support but he ain't dead.
