Marlin, we had a great day thanks, and Raceway Park actually asked about you, if you were coming. I told them it might be a bad time to be asking that question! HA HA.

Look I'm an easy going guy, I know some people are fanatics, I am flexible, I am putting on an event that people enjoy, thats what gets me going personally. I don't have to win, competitive yes, but I just like all kinds of muscle cars.

Its a tough line to walk in a competitive hobby, because no one really likes to get beat by anyone. But at some point you have to say wait a minute......you don't have a 10 second Factory Stock car!! At some point there has to be a cutoff I believe. I know its different at Dan's event and thats fine with me. The Pure Stock drags are what inspired the east coast events I run. It does not mean I have to do exactly what anybody else does. I have rules everyone here understands and likes them. If you run 11 seconds here consistently you are in F.A.S.T. class...and that includes me. The whole reason there IS a F.A.S.T. class is because some guys were caught cheating, however up until that point they also declared they were stock as you could get! Remember??

Yeah well I am trying not to make that mistake again. If you have an 11 second car, you done more than just buy a factory camshaft and turned the distibutor left and right to time the car, youve done your homework, your a racer, like it or not.

Thanks again for your comments, good and bad are appreciated and looked at, I am trying to make the events as fun as possible, without dwelling on this tedious stuff.
I believe this was originally a thread between You and ME to begin with and not someone elses place to gripe.
