Default Re: Vintage cars wrecking

Group-6 has never been a "gentlemans sport" for the 11 or 12 years I was involved....the names have changed but the objective has always been the same, OUTSPEND the next guy in an attempt to win...now if you have both money and a TV show than you can do whatever you like and the same goes for anyone politically connected....certain cars get scrutinized while others get a "free pass".....if I walk into a bank with a gun and demand $1 is it any different than you walking in (with that same gun) and demanding ALL their money?? NO!! So maybe you could explain why certain people with illegal cars get to race and others don`t?? (You would be the first to do so). The motor in my car I went 2:25.0 with in Sept/2005 is 635hp on a dyno up in Appleton...Imagine how fast I might go with a 750hp BB?? The thing I find funniest and saddest at the same time is after winning gr-6 overall six times at R/A, they never sent me any appearance money or prize money (NOT that I ever expected any) but I never even got a victory lap with one of my girls, thats the sad part....It`s OK that my car sits, it`s the third car of three built by one of the most famous Corvette teams of all time and isn`t asking for anything to eat, BUT at the same time the KIC was down 75 entries this year, the ELVF down 40 cars from last year and 70 some cars from 2004....so exactly who is all this new found rules enforcement and selective rules scrutinization helping? It helped a guy win his first R/A race in May and another one win his first R/A race in Sept.
