Default I got some e-mail today... It seems I am busting NFRA *****....

That's what the man said. If my not wanting to run carburated cars is busting ***** just call me Buster. The reason being I know how much potential
a 502 ci big block has... Hell I use to race one.

If the NFRA rules stay as proposed.... I won't be there.

Chris and John I wish you success.

Are you serious? Boo ****ing hoo man. "Rules don't fit me perfectly, so I'm not racing. boo hoo hoo. The race isn't where I want it, so I'm not racing. Boo hoo hoo".

Incredible.

Do you like to hear yourself talk? or type in this case?

You and your type of posts are the reason I left LS1.com. You make hundreds of posts just to get a rise out of people and to start ****. Whats the point?, is your life that boring?

Bob and WILWAXU get over it... I just call em like I see em.

Bob I saw a picture of you in one of the trade papers today.... Ditch the straw hat and get a smaller pair of sunglasses. That "look" is not very becoming for a future dragracing god. <img src="gr_stretch.gif" border="0">

Ill be the big man and admit I sent Joe the e-mail.

I stand by my words that you should cut these guys a little slack and try and suggest some modifications to the rules instead of flat being an *** about the whole situation.

And Bo has a long list of drag racing cridentials. He is the last person on any automotive board on the web I'd question. He is a hell of a guy.

So I suppose Bob is the only one on the boards that has ANY kind of credentials like that? NOT!!!!!!!!!

ANYBODY can be questioned on a subject. NOBODY, including Bob, knows everything about drag racing.

Absolutely. We are all peons in a sea of...well...peons.. <img src="gr_stretch.gif" border="0"> Everybody's voice is equal, and nobody's opinion is better or worse than anybody elses.

I just think Joe likes to whine when he doesn't get his way - kind of like your stereotypical 4-year old. But I digress.

Guido I made my suggestions.... Leave the rules like they were and move the race to LA. or Tx..


Bob and his credentials....I don't dought that Bob is a smart man but up until three years ago I had never heard of him. I know he jumped into a soft class in one of the Ford racing series and won his class in two or three races and I give him congrats on that. Since a rule change he hasn't won any. He stated in a post on the corral about a month ago that he was not going to run in Factory Stock next year. Could it have been because of the rule change favoring the 5.0 cars???

Guido I would question Warren Johnson if he was on this board. Just because you read a name in a paper or magazine it don't mean they know what they are talking about. Most of the time it's because a magazine writer didn't have anything else to write about.

Oh well, my dragracing experience is very limited
so to keep me from making a fool out of myself I'll never question Bob again.

LOL. Joe, you've likly been racing longer than I've been alive (37 years).

I am racing next year, and it will likely be in the Cobra, as my other two ideas aren't looking too good (I was going to drive another guys car, or hopefully get my 88 Coupe going for the class...ain't gonna happen). I didn't want to race the Cobra again cause I am literally going to tear it up. But hey, if I want to race this year, its the only game in my town. NMRA gave me back half of that rule change they made last year (50 lbs)...hopefully that will help a bit.

And I have no doubt you'd question Warren Johnson. You'd probably question yourself if you could figure out how to do it. It goes back to always wanting things his way, and to hell with everything and anybody else. All for one and one for Joe...we know. <img src="gr_stretch.gif" border="0">

Be careful of having "private" email convo's with Senor Kizzire. They aren't private. I email'd him a friendly question, and he stabbed me in the back. Won't do that again.

Love that, "If I Don't Make the Rules, I won't Play" mentality. Like those Hollywood folk who said they'd move out of the country if Bush won instead of Gore. Guess what, they didn't move.

Joe...all the rules ain't out yet - neither are all the classes. It is my opinion that your whining is premature. Then again, that is just my opinion. <img src="gr_grin.gif" border="0">

I don't own a website - I only babysit one. <img src="gr_grin.gif" border="0"> And over here, believe me, I say what is on my mind (within the intent of the Forum...or at least I hope within its intent).

I don't owe anything to anybody here either. In fact, unless they make a class for Cobra's, I won't be racing. Guess what? I ain't holding my breath. <img src="gr_grin.gif" border="0"> Still, I'm trying to support and promote the sport. NFRA is the ballgame right now. My perception is that the ballgame doesn't suit you, so you're doing what you can to kill/hurt it. I'm sorry if my perception is wrong.

NMCA/NSCA/Whatever it is called this year has nothing for me but brackets (EFI is a glorified bracket race - nothing wrong with that, but tis what it is). I'll be attending enough NMRA races this year, so I'll likely pass.

Good luck to you.
Bob

Ley me get this right Bob, if they don't have a Cobra class you won't be racing. Why is that Bob??
Could it be that you don't like the Factory Stock rules this year. You know what Bob I don't like the NFRA rules (as proposed) for this year so if they stay as proposed I won't be racing either. You could run in the open comp class and you would be supporting the sport like I'm gonna do running in the NMCA/NSCA series.

Let me get this strait Bob.... If you don't race it's OK.... If I don't race it ain't.

Bob are you sure you ain't a Democrat???? <img src="images/icons/rolleyes.gif" border="0">

ROFLOL. Joe. I was being sarcastic. It was a joke. If I didn't make it obvious, I will try and do so now.

My comments were pointed at the NFRA. I was saying, in jest, that unless the NFRA has a class for Cobra's, I won't be racing. Get it? I am not racing NMCA/NSCA because I am going to do a full season of NMRA.

For your info, the 2002 NMRA rules are almost a carbon copy of the 2001 NMRA rules - except I get to drop 50 lbs. <img src="gr_stretch.gif" border="0">

Bottom line...it was a joke, Joe. Wow...you got flustered. I love it! <img src="gr_grin.gif" border="0">

I'm done. <img src="gr_stretch.gif" border="0">

Joe, here is an idea, how about you make up your own series of racing and let us know what your rules would be?

Honestly Bob I do wish Chris and John success. They changed the rules of the game so since I don't care for the rules I'll just find another game.

Bob I'm not a politically correct or sensitive person. I have no agenda to promote. I don't own a web site as you do so unlike you I get to say what I want to. Chris and John are good guys but other than the NFRA I have never done any business with either one of them other than maybe talking to John on the phone a couple of times.

So you see I really don't owe them my attendence at the race. If they make the race to my likeing I'll attend, if not I'll do something else. It's my money.

I'm going NMCA/NSCA EFI racing and PRO open comp racing next season. In fact I think I'm going to the Petersburg Va. race. You should make the race if you can.
