Ray's writing them, but he's been seen hanging out with those SFI guys lately...
Maybe they are all using the same 'puter  ..

followed drag racing very well from the late 60's with drag news and N/D... but it's about the racing, not the hype. Ya want rumors, telephone or tell a racer... same day TV is nice, but a couple of week delay I grew up with I can deal too.
Think it's the short Attention span, Now Generation thing... most people I know don't get it... or they get a distorted idea of the sport from TV...

I don't know but maybe it the era your raised in. Me, I have been Drag Racing since 69, first day I got my license.(64 SS impala 396 CU IN 4 Speed)Lots of safe street racing then KCIR. I remember only drag racing we saw on TV was Winter Nationals on ABC'S Wide World of Sports and that was it for the year. The rest of the year was racing almost every weekend and watching match races with all the big boys several times a year. It was a great time then and still a great time now. Make the most out of every day you have, hell a few blinks and it will be over. No b#*$hing here just full enjoyment. Love the smell of Torco Fuel when I fire up the Corvette.

Re: get your acts together guys
I was in bed last night thinking about the Mater. Why is the Mater so good to me? Why do I care about the Mater so much? Well, while Joe and Randy are down at the local tavern sharing a beer and talking about Jeff Gordon and Dale Jr., I can't really go anywhere else but the Mater and talk about:
1. Why can't Warren bring back the Warbird for 1 year?
2. Do you miss Roland Leong as much as I do?
3. I drink Monster Blue, why can't the Funny Car be blue for 1 race?
4. Just which Coughlin is the best driver?
5. Who would you have dinner with: Melanie, Angelle, or Hillary?
6. Did I tell you I got my Snake and Mongoose print framed?
7. Hell no Tony P. never shut it off early with the boss in the other lane.
8. And Randy and Joe, you can't call me between 7-10 on Sunday night because I'm glued to ESPN2.
I don't care whose on the Mater, I'm just glad you're here.
