This message is hidden because 1320racer is on your ignore list.

I wrote a message a dozen times and deleted it. I left a few years ago because it was all just nhra bashing and it was depressing to have a love for S/SS but all I see are people bitching and fighting. (Joined in 2002)

I've been back for a year or so and even convinced myself to build my first stocker. I want to learn and enjoy S/SS. I ignored him because he's the problem and I "don't need to respond". So I ignore him...but every thread has a "message is hidden" after a couple of posts so I stop and don't even bother because whatever the original post was about is now dead, no use going any farther, it's just arguing over something NOT related to the thread.

If he was arguing about S/SS with a different opinion, I'd respect that, might not agree with a "chev" driver or a "dodge" driver but I have a lot of respect for people who have the knowledge and can back up their hypothesis. Explain why my thoughts on "A" are incorrect, thank you, I didn't know that, I'm learning. But if I ask "A" and the answer turns into what someone said before and how this guy is an idiot but that guy.... I'm done.

Being argumentative and causing shyt just for the sake of it is a bigger turn off than bitching 24/7 about nhra.

I'm a nobody, I understand that, but a lot of nobody's add up.

EDIT: To be clear, if he was the cranky old S/SS bugger who's been there and done that and is against the unlimited duration rule or various hp presents, I'd respect that. I have a lot of respect for guys that have told me the 302 is underrated, maybe they're right with their 15-20 years of S/SS racing I respect their opinion. But, This could be a forum about toasters, he would still be the one who derails toaster questions with bickering and fighting. "What setting should I..." turns into a fight after 3 posts. THAT IS THE ISSUE WITH HIM!
