The problem with the Harry is the mouth would have to be as big as the belly............

Looks like the Barbie Man.

Before there were two different Ironmen?one for Knoll Gas Nitro Jam winners and a smaller one for winners on the Summit Racing Equipment Pro-Am Tour. This conveyed the incorrect assumption that wins on the Summit Pro-Am Tour meant less than a win on the Knoll Gas Nitro Jam circuit. Now the same Ironman will be given to winners in both series with the only difference being the base. ( They do mean less )

Now they just need to do the same with the payouts

National event wins *are* a bigger deal than Pro-Am wins. They pay more, the magazine coverage is longer, with larger pics and more pics, and most of the time they get TV coverage. I'm fine with having the smaller versions for Pro-Ams, and bigger ones for Nationals. It probably just cost a bunch more to make two different sizes.

I liked the Drag Review cover (sorry, still can't call it DRM... Drag Review Magazine magazine?) with Skooter wearing his firejacket and helmet in the Uncle Sam pose "I want YOU for the Summit Super Series".

Macy wanted to build an army with his Iron Men. With the variations, maybe we can make a chess set!

I feel bad dissin' on the new trophy... we appreciate the effort, and we appreciate trophies of any kind, but for such a huge thing, I guess we would've liked to have had some input.

What happen to all the IHRA love everyone was feelin just a few days ago. IHRA is so great everyone needs a CM (bracket car) car and a GAY looking Iron whatever you call it this week. Bill Bader left just before the ship started to sink. What a mickey mouse organzation it has become, but then again it was not that great to start out with.
NHRA Better performance cars, no crate motor and now better looking trophys to. Just three more reasons to race NHRA. Like you need three anyway.

Do the drivers/cars that are run in both bodies run better when they are on an NHRA track?
