All this could be avoided if they put the new cars in their own class and factored them accordingly.

Contractual obligations you know. Heard they were expiring soon, but not before the OEM's contaminated Stock and Super Stock.

I have been away for three years and haven't witnessed the catch-all class grouping before and I think it's BS. nhra can not be that hard up that they can't let the racers run for a trophy only if the sponsors don't want to pay for singles. Hell, it's the US Nationals and nhra should try to show even the smallest amount of class for this race. All the racers would have to do is check a box on the tech card if they were willing to run for a trophy if there were no other cars in their class. This outfit pinches the little guys for every penny while leasing corporate jets for charter flights at a cost of 20 times commercial airfare. Some day this will change.

Beautiful car.

Anyone caught harassing another competitor like that should be DQ'd from the event. What a douchebag (or douchebags), whoever it is. No need for stupid **** like that.

OR DQ'ed for a year or more.

From what I heard it was not a one-sided conversation. There were lots of insults from both sides.

Here are a few pics from the barn:


Boster, Corda, Beach, Fezell, Parker




Paul & Debbie Boster and Missy
This is the dog that does not like me and I bribe her with Bud Lite.
I only have Coors Lite here, so I borrowed a Bud Lite from Scott Helms last night for Missy.
