No you don't like feedback. And no is not that anyone is putting words in your mouth its that you wont take accountablity for what you've said here and on your website. The reason I joked around about John Force was because I saw it on your website:
"The new rules say anything goes...timers, computers, automated new fangled control gadgets, whatever you want to run. The driver still has to shift the car and launch the car, that's it. So, if John Force puts a 23T body on his funny car, he's welcome to run with us. Really. How's that for nostalgia?"
I've read your intial post at least 10 times and everytime I read it I'm thinking this is total BS. Then I read your web page and I can see your an accomplished racer in your field of racing. Then I see how many parts you've broke in the last 2 years and again I'm thinking total BS about your first post. You didn't even give one word of advice on what could go wrong or what you need to watch for. Shoot Its like changing valve covers, no worries. Dang, Ive put up a post and someone came back and showed my way wasn't best and I've wished I would have just keep that post to myself. But I didn't keep trying to defend that post.
And geez it not even that bad. But after each post you get angerier. Its your BS in your first post that started all this. But Ive seen this ego before though. Every area has a 7.00 to 7.70 blown or nostalgia class. And when they come in once or twice a year they think they own the track. They come to the track park however and/or wherever they want. Strut around like their top fuelers. A few years ago it was because they were faster, but now half of their qualifiers wouldn't even make the field if our everyday bracketracing dragsters entered. Ive been racing in this area for the last 30 years and have raced with most of these guys, and they never won until they put nitro or a blower on and start racing one of these classes.
Now that my panties are in a wad. I went to the web site where you went to the finals. Lets look at the final round, shall we.
Nostalgia B
W: George Moore, Redmond, OR ('23 T) .123, 8.159, 164.83 (7.99 dial).
R/U: Spud Miller, Philomath, OR ('08 Garys) .099, 7.310, 175.13 (7.33 dial).
The first thing that pops out is Nostalgia B. Hmm?
Well lets see I don't think a .099 would win many rounds anywhere else. I know it won't here. But it gets better, He only runs 10 mph slower than you but you still can't put a tire on him. He is over his dial by 17 hundreths and over 2 hundreths worse on the light. You had 2 tenths to put a tire on him and couldn't get it done. Where we race we call those type of racers DUCKS not wild hooligans.
Have Fun,
