I always like to stay positive and I will be back here next year, but the new cars are so far ahead. It is hard to stay up beat when you see the numbers these cars can run

I feel for everyone that has worked so hard on their combo's. Maybe just maybe NHRA will see what happen this week and fix the disparity between the new and old cars.

On some lighter notes, A Stick has been a blast to watch. John Calvert just beat Ralph Porpora in the semi's, and will run Jason McCormack for the class final.

B/SA will also be fun to watch, it does not have any new cars to deal with. Hawk, DeFrank and Wilkes are the cars to beat. Who's knows what these guys are holding. Kreeber was my pick to surprise everyone, but he lost on a hole shot is round 2.

I know things are looking bad with these new cars, but in the grand scheme of things life is pretty good. Hey, I'm not in the show, but I still happy to be here and still having fun.

They just called stock back to the lanes for 3rd round of class.

Kenny, our old buddy Bruce was right a year and a half ago when he called for these cars to be in FX classes. You could still run them in stock eliminator just not in the same classes with cars that were actually made and available to the public. This would have been a win win scenario , but Ford, Chrysler,and NHRA wanted these cars to dominate the older cars. It's a slap in the face to anyone who has put time effort and money for 20 plus years into running a stock eliminator car. This ***** needs to change.

Greg, yes he was right and its hard to argue with your logic. Even my paper car can't come close to the new stuff.

I'm just an optimist, hoping things will change. I know it sounds naive, but that's the way I am. I will make the best of a bad situation and find a little enjoyment. I have no chance of getting in the show, but being here is still cool.

Terry, I though about putting in a hand shaker, who knows.

Kenny, glad you have seen the light.

After further thought on this matter I think the participants that are running these cars need to be commended for what they have done!!! Showing the NHRA for the OUTRAGES thing that they have done to their long time members!!!

So' THANK YOU to all who decided to LET IT HANG OUT FOR ALL TO SEE!!!!!

I agree....Its not the raers fault. Its not a shame to take advantage of what is given to you. The real SHAME is NHRA and the way they treat the loyalty of the long time racers.

Kenny, Patsy, & Larry

Thanks so much for the reports and pics.
Maybe next year FoMoCo will shine it bright light on us and we'll be able to make it back to the Big Go.

Does anyone know why my buddy Roy Hill was D'Q'd?

We heard something goofy about wheels by cannot believe that.

Thanks

Alex, Beth, & Tony

This started out as a great post from Larry & Patsy. The updates and photos are great for people like me that could not attend Indy this year. But once again a post gets hijacked by people who are not at the race complaining instead of enjoying the 'live' up to date reports ... Thanks Larry and Patsy, sorry to hear about your car being broke. Take care and have a safe trip home ...

[junior barns]

I too enjoy all the photos so Larry if this is why you and Tom have stopped posting please disregard all my posts and bring on more photos!!!
