Today was a sad day in the Drag Racing World when I saw what I saw on National Tv when companies can dictate how we as Americans must spend our dollar thats pretty sad. Hell we don't even know who to vote for! It's also a sad day when none of the racers have enough B---------lls to band together to stop Antitrust situations from happening in the sport we all love. This weekend I have been sitting in a Burn ward at Shriners Hospital in Sacramento with my grand son laying on a gurney. He was helping me get some work done before we leave for St Louis to do the All Harley Drag Races. While he was assisting me a gasoline fire flashed off and caused severe burns to his face and arm. He was life flighted to the hospital and he made it to the semis, the only thing left, was the main event which he made it to this evening. He wanted to see drag racing and also the x games as we have a rider that runs our gasoline that was in the Step Up, "Matt Buyten", "Guess what, he won the Gold" Drag Racing came on and I started getting numerous calls from nitromethane racers at Las Vegas in regards to the fine that was levied. I didn't really want to be in this fight but right is right and wrong is wrong. Most of you know that I have been in the Nitromethane buisness for along time with some pretty good results. What I saw this evening was a bad situation. Nitromethane has taken it's toll on my family and myself over the years but I guess I'm to stupid to quite and will I, never! My kids already said they would bury me in two barells welded together to save cost. Most of you know that with the New Homeland Security issues that you are only to have in your possession 400LBS of nitromethane at anyone time. I don't want to get into this at this time.
$100,000.00 fine who set that perameter? Hell if it was me it would of been a million, as you all know NHRA loves me. I would like to tell the whole world what has really transpired in Nitromethane racing, instead of you hearing and beliving the other side. What do I have to loose? I have spent the last two months, with Home land Security everyday and also with DOT going over all the Nitromethane handeling procedures as I felt something was not exactly right.
Proposal::::
I would like to invite NHRA, IHRA, IHBA, AHDRA, BONNEVILLE, American Sand Drag Racing Association, any organization that runs Nitromethane. All Media
ESPN, ESPN 2, SPEED, FOX, all magazine publications, all internet publications. I would like to tell you all the truth about what has taken place in the sport we all love. I would also like to invite any racer that uses Nitromethane. Hobbiest you are welcome. I would also like to invite any other
Nitromethane suppliers to attend as well and feel free to speak at this forum.
Track Operators you too need to attend!
If you want to save our sport and don't want corporate America dictating
to you where your dollars are spent then you need to "Stand Up and Be Heard". As most of you know my son, I, and John Warreen from World Wide Racing Fuels started Pro Nitro and Don Schumacher took it over from there.
It is true that Pro Nitro was the fuel that was legal in NHRA Monday through
Thursday but not on race day, Guess who's quote that was.
I will promise you that Homeland Security Officials and DOT Officials will be present for any questions and anwsers you may have.
Any Takers
I will supply a facility to hold the forum at, that is convenient for all to attend.
Feel free to contact me if you would like to be apart of the forum
