It's a shame how so few can have such a large impact on so many..I don;t think many people realize how far reaching drag racing reaches.. i.e. Motels make a bundle at national events, restaurants, car rentals, etc. etc.

I know you meant No Personal Attack on Suzie and I don't believe she is an environmentalist nut because she recycles and cares for the environment..

Keep up the good fight!
Bob & John,

I understand that certain groups can get out of hand, but it is the same all over on both sides of the fence. There is that bad apple again stinkin' up the place! I love this country and right now there are a few broken things that need to be fixed. It is important that everyone come together and work towards a common goal and get everything under control again so that people WILL have money to go racing and the ability to do the things they love. Freedom is precious!!!

I am still going to hug my trees every day and thank them for the oxygen they give off!!!

Re: Car Count for Bristol

I'd like to see if Nancy's thread can get back on track here.

If you guys want to argue..exchange email addresses/phone numbers, PM or whatever you have to do. I know it isn't as much fun without an audience..but it's not cool and I'll delete it if we can't be adults.

Repeat after me: "Car counts in Bristol..Car counts in Bristol..'

Re: Car Count for Bristol

I can understand NHRA reason for rotating the classes(even if I disagree). Look at Houston last year, no dry pit space for sportsman racers. Every year the Sportsman racer are getting bigger and bigger rigs eating up pit space. But my take of the enhancement deal is this: I worked for a company that gave us a big picnic, prizes, and other gifts. They spent 2 hours telling us that they were going to build a bigger and better plant, big raises, and bonus every year. 2 weeks later they laid off all of us. I think NHRA will have a Pro only show more sooner than later now that Wally's gone.

Yes, the rigs are bigger but, most are carrying 2 and some 3 cars so the space is about the same. One toter and stacker with 2 cars does not take up that more space than in the old days of two pickup trucks and open trailers.

Good point. I don't have a problem with that. As a matter of fact, when I finish my car, my friends and I might go that route(stacker trailer and toter).
Also a lot of racers will not go to a event that don't have super gas when they have a super gas car and super comp dragster.

Ours carries 4 cars, one ATV, one pit bike, one Goldwing and has two living quarters and one kitchenette, meaning that we aren't part of the mass exodus after the races are over nor are we taking up hotel rooms.

I'd gladly do without the friggin' mosquito sounding,yawn inspiring,snowmobiles at Brainerd in exchange for ProMod anyday.I also think it'd be cool if NHRA got together a regular touring cacklefest,or booked in some of the nostalgia funny cars or fuel altereds for between rounds.

Re: Car Count for Bristol

I'd like to add to the previous by saying some of the best racing I saw in 2005 was the alchy funny car line up at Brainerd.Manzo,Payne,Newberry,Chesterman,etc.The field there was actually more competitive and fun to watch than the TA/FC line up at Indy that year.
