it was probably cheaper to enter a class like pro mod than to pay a 3-5 day spectator ticket.....

Selling anything is prohibited I believe without a contractual agreement with NHRA during their events. Selling Tee shirts is probably a no-no...

So on that first run I understand he just bypassed the scales and fuel check, since he knew the run wouldn't make the show. He certainly did not embarrass himself so far this weekend, has handled himself professionally and from all accounts, understands exactly where his program is compared to the rest of the field. He's not last on the qualifying sheet and making gains every pass. And... the crowd around his pit area is probably bigger that any other racer on the property. I heard that traffic control had to assist him just to get to the lanes for Q2.

Total embarrassment. 100%. There's one simple thing about a drag race. Winning. Most of us don't live for hype. Screw that excuse. We don't enter events or Classes we know we CANNOT win. We build cars to hopefully win. Period. I don't give a crap about anything else. T-shirt sales, (Which you cannot do at NHRA events.) So that's out. Anyone worth their salt races to do one thing ~ WIN A DRAG RACE. This guy is like the kids on the losing ball team who all get a trophy. When he gets a real bullet maybe then he can compete.

How many national events have you won, Bruce? The same amount as the guy in question.

The only difference is HE is there, right now, giving it all he's got.

I would believe that was the whole point of being there. I would think that he might have out sold gas monkey and force combined.

So Bruce, how's the Matador wagon doing that couldn't go fast if you dropped it off the Empire State building? Stay with Pontiacs and leave the AMC's alone.
