It was OK to stack that deck with your heroes. If that was the case (and a hugh majority seemed to think it as acceptable), then stacking the deck with low HP engines shouldn't be an issue.
In both instances, NHRA has allowed one side an unfair advantage and as a result, you are loosing money.
Must be something about living in Arizona and complaining about the pro/sportsman racer...isn't this Don Kennedy's territory?

And it's LOSING!!!! Not LOOSING!!!!

It's kind of pointless to complain about the "pros" since there's maybe only 2 left? Fletcher and Rampy? You should start a new thread about it if you want. It usually comes up this time of year anyway....every year.....

Is this actually a "bitchable" subject? Are people out there really mad at a racer if he/she attends more than 8 races a year?

My My, I leave yall alone for a couple days, and yall go crazy. Breathe deep into your nose and exhale slowly through your mouth. Do the Yoga 'ahmmmmm, ahmmmm, ahmmmm. There, now much better. Yall is the proper spelling for yall. I think I will just work on my stuff, and on Feb 15 or so, I will go to Florida. I plan on being in good spirits.
Sheep, Sheep Dogs, Foreign Language, bogus HP and all other things that make your blood pressure rise will be gone. I'm gettin about 8 hp for Christmas if yall want to celebrate. But I'm also gettin some nice presents from my 13 Grandchildren, and a nice cuddly smile from my 11 month old Grandaughter Annabelle with her bright red hair and big blue eyes. Ahmmmmmm, Ahmmmmmmm, Ahmmmmmm. Better huh?
