lil weird to get us too
 

Still can't get to used to not seeing Larry Dixon's name in the NHRA Top Fuel line-up. Or Del Worsham for that matter. i mean wtf :?

Del's decision to leave I am good with but someone needs to pickup Dixon as a driver, its a waste of talent not having hime behind the wheel of a dragster!

You WATCH that GARBAGE?The NHRA is THE WORST thing in DRAG Racing........PERIOD!

They DONT give a S#!T about Nothing but $$$$$$$$$$$$$!

The BEST thing going is the NITRO Jam Series,with the Nostalgia Cars!

Another thing that NHRA has RAPPED,the Nostalgia Guys!
They just want to get into EVERYONES pocket,with NO RETURN!

Now,do you want to know How I realy Feel?Probably NOT!!!!!!!!

Later!
G :x

The NHRA is ok. But IHRA and the Nostalgis stuff is the best. Top Fuel bikes! :D

I love the nostalgia stuff but they dont run a lot of events around here and its never broadcast live or delayed. I take what I can get when its cold and nasty. I am watching the Arizona Nationals right now streaming online through ESPN3. Its kinda cool cause the cameras are on all the time and you get to watch a lot of the bracket cars run.

I've been on you tube watching old Isle of Man TT footage. I'm snowed in,got a head cold and on one heck of an adrenaline rush all at the same time :!: :shock: :? :D :|

that can be good or bad :lol: :lol:

dixon still had like 2 years on his contract...... dont understand why he would leave?

I like nostalgia if they race like back in the day not just cacklefests or old cars bracket racing .

Watch it!

I think the story is a little deeper than the public knows with Larry dickson leaving Alan Johnson, i think in the background Larry was a whinner, just like Whit Basmore was with Shumaker racing (he couldn't even get along with his teammates)and team owners donot not need that kind of crap. If you can recall no one will hire Whit Basmore and it's very possible that Dickson is in the same shoes, just a guess.

About NHRA, my problem with them is that you cannot run an event that's NHRA if you donot not have a certied chassis even though you can go thru tech and be cleared. It cost $250.00/350.00 the get the chassis certified and if you don't have it you cannot run. We don't have an NHRA track within 200 mi. of where i live, they are all IHRA tracks, where we can run if you pass tech (it takes longer in the tech line but you can run) unfortunely most of the tracks in Ms. and La. are outlaw tracks and unless you are really fast they donot even loook at the car close (which is dangerous to everyone racing) most of the tracks donot have EMT's at the track, i'm not worried about me (my car is certifiable) but the others that are not.

Zip.

I hear ya Zip. I have seen a few cars at my track that I never hope to run beside.

well i love the outlaw tracks. its giving the backyard, garage builders a chance to race. better on the track than on the street. so they say. i always liked the street better anyway.nostalga racing and i mean the real back in the day cars couldnt [pass modern tech anyway. and thats the racing i love.i love being lined up against a old 60s drag car thats brought out of retirement.or a car that some guys dad built and raced back in the day. its fun and exciting.and just a tad dangerous.lol
