Ah yes but in the Diamond P/TNN days all the winners got to talk to Steve. Everyone is news worthy not just the DSRs and JFRs of the world. I give the NHRA suitable props when they do things right, but the current crop of Keystone Kops has been asleep at the switch.

I know you are more concerned about criticizing my posts than responding appropriately but the NHRA doesn't interview drivers for TV. It's ESPN I was speaking of. The Strasburg family are very good personal friends who give their all to racing. Not only did they purchase a brand new Hadman car to race but they fund the entire operation out of family pockets from a humble business. I felt their qualifying was a story. I felt their winning first round was a bigger story. I felt the opportunity to give such an unsponsored team their "moment in the sun" so to speak, would be quite appropriate. I'm very sorry they didn't.

I'm almost as sorry you follow my posts like a lost puppy dog waiting to jump on them with your constructive criticism. I can't imagine what you would've typed had it been a DSR car they trailered given your quest to find me not worshiping everything Schumacher like you do? Now, are you going to use your "Moderator" authority and remove this post too?

Because of you, I"m about done with this place. It's a shame I can have two hundred great friends sharing common interests to talk/type in a forum where one critic like yourself makes it not worth the visit. Am I really supposed to get used to - or accept your abrasiveness?

If I were the NHRA marketing wizards Id play up Hillary W as the "Queen of Speed". Other that Leigh Breedllove and Kitty O'Neal-at Bonnevile or at least an unlimited distance event- the young lady is the fastest woman on the planet on the ground!.

Re: Hillary - wicked fast!

I agree that Hillary's car is ripping fast speeds BUT who is she representing?
W/out a sponsor to plug the mention is un-worthy to most directors of most media outlets...
The car is running great in qualifying and I am sure they will put it together soon for some round wins..

Well Bobby, I am sorry if you feel like you need to leave because of my views. I did not single out or you views I was just talking about ESPN's selection of interviews, notice I did not quote your post. I do not know why you are singling me out when I was talking about ESPN/NHRA in general. Sorry Bobby, but don't say Tony Shumacher is a cheater with illegal heads if you don't have the facts. I am a Bernstein fan, so I don't have any "dogs" in this fight, but I think it unfair to say Tony had illegal heads in Pomona.

You've misquoted me there as well.
Thanks for proving my point!!!!!!

I have a feeling this just might be Hillary's year. Go Hillary, GO!

Re: Hillary - wicked fast!

Despite the red car taking the afternoon off yesterday, I'd say this weekend was very productive for the K-cars.

Re: Hillary - wicked fast!

JMHO but until Hillary learns to mash the loud pedal somewhere near to when the light starts to go green she isn't going to win much. She's sometimes early for the next pair and once or twice she's been right on time for the next day. It seems that winning races and acquiring sponsors sometimes goes hand in hand. I do agree that she has all the other thing necessary. She's smart, articulate, makes a great appearance, has a great team owner, great crew and crew chief and of course Connie K. ain't no slouch either.

All that car needs is a driver who can leave timely.

I don't think your views have anything to do with it. I know lots of people with different views that can keep them quietly or at least express them tactfully. And there is the rub-

Now, let'g get back to the post. Good job Hillary. 334 is smokin'. And congrats to the Strasburg family on the first round win with the new car.

Re: Hillary - wicked fast!

While everyone can agree that Hill needs to work on her lights, until they can keep the car from boiling the hides every Sunday then it doesnt matter who drives it.
