Now we just need you to go after the intakes on 390 FFF's ,283 and BB chevys and others you might be aware off,and then go after all the carbs too!

I never said that. If it wasn't worth anything why take it away...

OK! When and where do you want to start?
If we get ALL of this stuff straightened out before the beginning of the season then we won't have to change the indexes.

Just what is it that you're saying then?

If it wasn’t worth anything, why did they need it in the first place or why was it approved?

Just saying I wasn't happy with NHRAs decision after working on the car and spending the money to try and improve to go quicker and to have it taken away. I will keep working on it.

Billy now we agree. I think you might be coming over to the dark. Remember how much more fun it was 30 year ago. Not anywhere near the amount of crying. BP

Hobby vs. Sport

We engage in the activity and are not paid to do so-hobby, Each round results in a winner & a loser (score)-sport

My late sportswriter step-Dad told me that a sport needed a defense. Like golf, swimming and archery, he would call drag racing a recreation.
