Thanks Jim,
I remember taking to Larry Dixon not too long ago. I think Jim and John Ob...have been here in the past. It seems like Doug Herbert and or Wayne have been here. I sure there are many more I don't remember right off. There were a number of different Pro-stock guys here.
Again, thanks for the effort.

Oh how the mighty have fallen...
Jay, you should see Les White's Fuel Altered project. It's pretty cool.

Correct me if I am wrong, since the inception of this site the following people have posted on here at one time or another.
Larry Dixon
TJ
Scelzi
Herbert
Wayne Dupuy
Del Worsham
Ace McCulloch
Angelle
I am sure I am missing some people. One person who I would love to see on here would be Whit Bazemore.

Virgil Hartman used to post here on occasion. I think he split when we "turned to the dark side." I always enjoyed his posts because he would explain technical stuff to us dunderheads out here in an easy to understand way.

Don't know if I count as a Pro...but I did make a living for a lot of years in the world of drag racing...and have been to every track on the circuit many times...and have worked with some of the greatest people I have ever had the privilege of knowing...racers, owners, sponsors, officials, media, spectators and all the rest.
I haven't posted before now as I have been in and out of town for the last few days. However, Jerrod and I have crossed emails a couple of times getting me signed up to join in.
I agree with the changes that J-rod has instituted, not to cut down on discussion and even disagreement, but to bring a dash of civility to it.
Most all of the people I have known for over 50 years in this business bore little or no similarity to some of those folks that were posting previously. If the changes weeded them out...so be it. They brought it upon themselves.
I have lurked here from the very beginnings, (back in the Scotty C. heyday) and would post from time to time. All of that will certainly continue and possibly expand as this board grows.
Just remember, drag racing; complete with its faults, disagreements, conflicts, joys and tragedies...is still the greatest of motorsports.
My best to one and all and hope to see each of you soon.

known previously and will continue to be known as "Big Mac" and/or DMaC
BTW...a big tip of the hat to Jim J.

In my book, you definitely count, DMac! Glad to see you found your way on to the new site.
Feel free to dig up and post some more of those wonderful photos you regaled us with on the old site a few months ago!

Madman, the guys that I really enjoyed participating on the board were Virgil Hartman & especially Jim Oberhofer... Jim O gave some great technical insight & he is a hell of a funny guy to boot!!
And as a sidenote, I love to hear D Mac tell old stories all day long!!

Can't help to automatically think of drag racing when I hear the name Dave McClelland. You're a pro in my book !

Dave and Steve Evans have set the standards for today's broadcasters. Those two together just clicked and made the show entertaining to watch. Never once, did I sit back and question their knowledge about the sport like I do today.
