Wheelie Bars are not needed for Safety on Stockers!

[Nathan Stinson]

Thanks for the FYI but I knew what you did on Kevin's car. I have seen you bragging about it on here before. So what part of my post was wrong? You don't own a car, you assumed I can't dosomething, since i dont do what you do i am not good enough to respond, and when I seen you at BG a few weeks ago you were running the grill and talking. Lol

Let me know when you have something of importance to contribute, to anything. The only thing you did in this thread was to make a pitiful attempt to insult people. You have absolutely nothing what so ever of value, importance, or intelligence to add to the discussion. THAT is why no one listens when you "respond". That, and you do not participate in class racing in any form that anyone is aware of.

You "seen" me? Well congratulations, I'm really happy for you, genius.

Yeah, we have a good time at the races, we cook on the grill, and we sit around and talk among friends. What of it?

I have wasted enough valuable time with your assinine stupidity. I'm done, go bother someone else who has time to be bothered with you.

I always thought racing was racing, no matter the class, but as I read this thread, I find that as I no longer am able to race (doctor said quit), that I may need to reevaluate. I come to this site to learn any info that I can gleam from people that should be in the know better than. But I also come to see how our sport is progressing or moving. After reading this thread, it may be time for a new evaluation. Many people people are posting, some that race, some like me that have to only go look, and those that help. Some of the info is good, some is so so., but all is conversation about OUR sport. Would like to make a observation as Mr Stimpson did, but got personally criticized. In case most of you have not recognized, class racing is on the down turn, both in numbers participating and in those people attending races to watch. So I feel we should be particular in how we criticize anyone for making a observation or contributing any input. Lets not let this be a part of the reason for the down turn. Also the other side should be a little more tactful with your inputs as your racing may turn down also. When you are at a track, that is a family, like it or not. It is really a family reunion of people that participate in a sport of gear heads. I do not want to ever have to go to yellow bullet because this forum stinks as some of this thread does.

Hey Alan, back off on Nathan. He never said anything that wasn't true. But I will tell he ain't no dummy when it comes to racing. Just because you don't agree with what he says doesn't mean he is wrong. And no, I don't have a damn stocker either...but I've stayed in a Holiday Inn. Does that qaulify me to come in here and offer suggestions? Geez...

Wheelie Bars. Is it used for safety reasons? Go on google and type in. "What are wheelie bars used for in a drag racing? Pretty obvious!

Charles,

An opinion is one thing, but Nathan chose to insult class racers instead. Alan would have never posted a response as he did to Nathan if he was respectful. Calling us snobs does not help the conversation. Nathan chose to criticize class racers with his first post, he set the tone for the responses that followed.

As with your post, your assumption that class racing is on a down turn is dead wrong. This site alone proves the exact opposite. So your opinion is noted and I disagree, we are not being insulting and that’s how it should be. On the other hand when a member jumps into a topic and has to insult members with his first post, he will be held accountable.

Good post. Oh and yellow bullet is a good place if you stay out of trash or be trashed section. Lot of smart guys over there willing to help. You can learn from some of the sports best over there just have to get in the tech sections.

Ken go back and look at my first post in this thread again. Never said anything insulting in that post. Only after I was insulted did I fire back. Respect is kind of a two way street. If you tell me I am a idiot because I don't do what you do the way you do it is that being respectful?

No insults in this post towards anyone..
