I agree with Jeff Colvert (That's a FAST Mustang!) Toby Lang and Jeff Teuton.
Nobody owes me anything for driving down the track by myself.

It's all about enjoying what you can, when you can. Some of us have done it forever, some of us struggle just to do it, and some don't ever get the chance. I've been a class racing fanatic since I was in grade school, but had to wait until my 40s to even start. I still struggle with it both financially and physically, but I do what I can with what I have. Nobody should bash others for being able to do it. Whiners and crybabies can kill class racing just as much as the negative impact of NHRA.

True. It can be a tool or a weapon, depending on how they're used.

Mostly because its like a bunch of old women and kids pissing and moaning on here. Its as bad as the Democrats and Rep. fighting over the budget. Some cant see the forest for the trees at whats happening to class racing. Some like to kiss NHRA's azz and some tell it like it is. Not very many on here make comments for the good of class racing. Its all about them and not for the good of class racing. The attacks are very childish but thats human nature. It seems to be from those in certain geographical areas as they are used to being rude and unfriendly in their usual surroundings. Others is because they are young and have no respect for anyone elses opinion then they go on the offensive. Where is the common decency these days ? I admit I go off back at someone but its only after they push my buttons one to many times or call me something that really sets me off. Usually I can take the critisism as I had gotten used to it after 22 1/2 years with dealing with all kinds of personallities in racing. My suggestion for some is look in the mirror and grow up. But in reality they will not. My 2 cents.
