No big deal, until someone who wasn't even in the same conversation wants to pick a nit with us. Did you heard Keith say anything about the weight? Or are you just applying typical Democratic argument strategy, "Forget the facts and issues, just attack the person!"

Yes, I did actually hear him say that. I didn't mishear anything. I know what I heard. In fact, Keith actually said he was 55 pounds heavy for C. I will swear on my mother's grave that is what he said. Hell, I'll even take a lie detector test along with Keith to settle this.

Were you there during this conversation? Have Keith (spike1) come on here and deny that he said it.

Keep whining and crying and maybe NHRA can find a new way to punish the whiners in addition to lowering the AHFS threshold.

So what is the new rules that we are not going to like with our older cars? Can you also let us in on them lowering the AHFS threshold? You seem to know a lot more about next year than any of us in the rest of the country.

Once again, when you don't have a point that can be supported, just attack someone else's character....

As for Keith using his own money, how does that make any difference???? What a ludicrous argument to prove some inane point...

If your point is somehow that he doesn't deserve to run fast because it isn't all on his nickle, are you also saying that Greg Anderson, Jason Line, and other pros don't deserve to run fast because they have a sponsor??? So, just what was your point.

I love it when monkeys type long enough to get some words on the screen, and then sit back and smirk at their own "clever creations"...

Keith is a great Racer, a Great Mechanic (He built the go fast engine we are now running), and a heck of a nice guy...

Just because you cant find any factual reason to attack him or his character doesn't mean you can make up crap up that has no bearing on anything. So either find a valid point to argue, or keep your feeble thoughts to yourself.

Very simple if you get good enough you can race on someone elses dime.

Right on Ed!!!!!!!!!

And they railed on him when he said it. Now they rail on us for actually doing it. Some people have so little life that they must find some significance somewhere, we are darned if do, and darned if we don't.

I don't know why I even bother to ever respond to most of these people. For them complaining is like religion, the ones who understand need no explanation, and for those who don't get it, no explanation is adequate...

Chris (Drooze) said it exactly like it played out Keith was the mystery driver that a lot on here said was fictional.
The plan was to run the 5.7 after the first couple of races.
It all worked out just as Chris said it would.
Where are all the naysayers from earlier this year? They didn't want a seperate class or gangs of horsepower back then.
All I can say is Drooze you did good.

I will admit that I am not a racer or even know the technical points of the rules but I am a huge fan of s/ss racing. I am one of the people that don't ft up when the pros are done and enjoy walking through the pits looking at the sportsmen cars. I will say this I am a mopar guy at heart and enjoy seeing the new cars. I don't want to see the old cars go away though how can you not enjoy john shaul's max wedge. You guys are yelling at the racers when it isn't their fault yes they have an advantage for now but why not enjoy that. Hopefully nhra will fix the problem and I am not sure a class by itself is great. Look at the hemis, most ofthem don't even run much outside of the challenges now. I may upset some people and for that I say sorry but is fans like all the cars from the new ones to ed's amc. That's what makes stock so much fun there is something for everybody.

Yes, he did good. Hp ratings are still bogus, and until they get factored correctly people aren't going to be happy with them. Put them in the classes where they belong and there will be no problems. That engine began at least 100 hp light.

As for "new" cars, David thinks it the "new cars" is the probem. It's only the extremely bogus hp ratings. Nobody would have a problem with the new Camaros, they have an honest hp rating, thus would not stand a chance agains the new bogus-rated factory race cars.

Nobody can condem the guys buying them. Neat cars. Just the bogus hp numbers and the extreme sand bagging bothers people.

Btw the Keith, "mystery driver", has not forgotten a thing! .014 light first round. Good job! They are doing a great job with that car. If they would race straight up like Chris said they would it would get factored correctly.
