Could it be that someone here is getting pissed about getting beat first or second round every race? When the fun quits--seek help!

Mr. Nolan, perhaps I'm off base here, but when you reference and question the feasibility (read legality) of one that wins 4, 5 or more races a year, I can't help but feel as though your comment is at least somewhat directed towards me. NHRA does do spot electronic checks, and I've been done several times over the years. My car is so simple its not even funny, so it really doesn't take very long.

If you have any interest in obtaining further "piece of mind" when it comes to my dinosaur of a vehicle, feel free to pony up with the funds and have at it. Either you and your friends go to dinner and I lose my sponsors, reputation, means to support my family, etc., or me and my friends go to dinner. I'll be making reservations now...

translated... put up or shut up!

I for one am tired of hearing/reading all these first round runner ups accuse everyone that wins a race no mind multiple races a cheater.

2. no where in my post did I state I am "so good on the bottom"

3. I'm a bracket racer, not a grudge racer. We don't race best of anything, we race each round to eliminate except in North Carolina where there is no tech inspection and where you can buyback until you run out of $ and if you're "lucky" enough to hold the "mulligan" that's drawn, they'll put you back in the race late in the rounds.

4. my comment about beard's bad day was to show he's human too as beard never misses and opportunity to tell everyone how good he is even in this thread about alleged NHRA inspections for cheating in super stock, stating his every round reaction times of his good weekend.

5. I have supported beard's thanksgiving race in the past as well yours and had every intention of supporting it again this year with a double entry, being that it's back at piedmont which is a far better facility than that dump known as cpd, but based on your comments above, and questionable unbiased decision making skills as the manager, I'll pass and I'll be sure to let my friends know who were on the fence why I am not going.

6. when/if beard shows up again at numidia, I'll make every effort to line up with him and based on his comments, his car will help me to facilitate his out of here in 10 minutes routine. Better yet, my kid could run him.

7. that all said, why make this about beard when you have made it about you and me so here's what I'm thinking...no time shots, no buybacks, no mulligans, no best of 7! You line up against me, put a number the window, 1 time,1 round in a legal/no electronics, footbrake launched door car and we bracket race. Both cars are inspected immediately after turning off the track by the track manager and you/I. Race and inspection will be video'd. The loser donates $5,000 within 48 hours to the winner's legit, incorporated, nationally known charity. The track chosen will be halfway between us. Hell you even get a tax deduction. So put up or shut up!

8. BTW, I'm with you, I don't care about the car that you witnessed run 1.28 60 foot in 2007 that I sold 5 years ago, that a another poster felt compelled to talk about in this thread. My current ride is far more impressive and 60 foots as quick as 1.17!

Ed, heres the bottom line, the red chevelle you formerly owned ran a best of high 10 ohs in negative air with a oval port production engine with 1.3 60 foots and high 4.0s in the 330, hardly impressive compared to what several chevelles the same as yours have run today. Fast forward to the 522 inch aftermarket engine in the same red chevelle, 9.89 @ 134, high 1.3 60 foots in negative air, again hardly impressive in comparisome to what several of us have run with production oval port heads. Several times myself and others have asked you to post your claimed 1.2 60 timeslip, you always refuse, you said you ran that number next to a racer out of Jenkins shop, this racer out of Jenkins shop did not ever remember that 1.2 60 foot you claim. You have stated on this forum you have the time slip, since this is such a topic of discussion on this forum why don't you just post it and put this to rest, seems logical to me. As far your 522 inch SS/GT goes its going to be hard for you to garner respect on here seeing this car was run with 522 inches of aftermarket big block, personally I would like see what would happen if Grossi and his peanut port , flattop, Q-Jet GT car got ahold of you and your aftermarket 522 @ Atco, Im pretty sure I know what would happen. BTW what did you replace the 522 you blew up all over the track with? One more thing Ed, how many of you on here believe a Mallory 140 fuel pump with a return would supply sufficent fuel on a 3625 pound nine second chevelle?

X3!! If we were wired right, we would be putting this money in our retirement, not be doing this with it. LOL

Sorry, 1320 ED. I don't need you to translate. Fletch came through loud and clear.
He didn't even leave anything to read between the lines.
OH Don, I have seen him red lite in competition. He ran my little red Camaro with Beard driving. He turned on the bulb just a fraction of a second before Beard did, too. I wish we had unscrewed those red bulbs for that run. He and I had been in a dialing dual in the lanes, over Beards objections, and I think we were down to holding about the same number. We both wanted to leave last. Both cars were probably very equal in E.T.'s & MPH. That would have been a pretty good race at the stripe.

Need I point out that he is human just like you and me. When it comes to racing He just has a better skill set so he has trained & polished himself a little (a lot) better than most of us. I've always thought that individuals like him have "Earned" respect, not criticism.

Nine pages back, Don Kennedy started a post about cheating in S & S/S. The validity of that topic still remains to be seen.

Please tell me what 60ft times and a red Chevelle have to do with this thread???
If you would like to compare **** sizes with another racer, please start your own thread and lets get back to the real topic of where Fletcher will be dining on someone elses dime.
