Why then does it seem that any NASCAR, ARCA, Dirt Track, or any other racing but Drag racing is almost prohibited to post on the"Race Only" forum. There are a lot of dirt trackers and mud runners out there, there are a lot of NASCAR fans and non fans out there. Racing is racing whether it be drag, dirt, asphalt, mud etc.
Nothing against drag racing did it for many years but unless you are a participant a family member it is much like watching paint dry. Or even if you are a participant it is a hurry up and wait game.

That's not entirely true. You can also post "prayers" and "birthday wishes" here too.

I have been wondering why so many race related posts get moved to general?

I didn't realize it was drag racing only?

You're absolutely right. I referred to it as a drag racing forum in another post, and for that I apologize.


Yeah, it's got a smallblock.

My point being is that there are other types of auto/truck racing than drag racing. In fact dirt tracking and NASCAR undoubtedly on a week to week basis draws many times more spectators and the local dirt tracks draw more participants on a given night giving the spectators more of a show for the money.. Good part of drag racing is that just about anybody can drive a straight line and use about any vehicle that they own and on a given day be competitive but not every one can race and be competitive on the dirt. Still don't answer my question about the race only forum being gear only to drag racing.

the simple answer to your question is because Gary was a drag racer...

I do agree all forms of racing could/should be discussed or have their own separate forum.

That being the case change it to Unlawful' drag race only. Seems to me though before it was changed to Unlawful's it was just the race forum and had the same standards. Been a while but seems I remember it that way.

altho this section was primarily directed towards drag racing I personally feel that the Unlawfuls Race Only section should be open to all form's of racing, everything from drag racing to pulling truck's and everything in between,we can all learn from other's experiences regardless of the type of racing done.jmo

I specifically like it the way it is . . . .

Why change, when not necessary

But I will say there are too many posts that get moved to another section and die off as some don't come to the race section.

Some informational or inquiring post from other racing modes get kicked into the general forum never to be seen again. They deserve to get some attention to their inquiries too, many here don't frequent the general section.

Yes there are but not race oriented. There are many things in different racing venues that compliment each other. Why not help each other if we can. Or maybe the consensus is "IF YOU DON'T DRAG RACE YOU AIN'T ----"

Ever since some racers started crying about it being STRICTLY race related..............

it has gotten inconsistent in manner.

The fellowship of the racers that post here is ignored and a lot of "human interest" but race related stuff is shoved out to General.

It was better when Gary Davis first got it started.

I agree also. I'm sure the moderators have a very difficult time deciphering what should and shouldn't be on any of the forums. Although I agree with the above comment, keep in mind that this is a Mopar sight, and that being said, I would venture to guess that of all types of racing associated with Mopars and Mopar guys, 75% is drag racing. It really was the bassis for performance in the Chrysler organization. " You have just been past by a Chrysler 300".

Splitting hairs now? It doesnt matter what kind of racing, make the question about the engine, trans or any particular about it and it wont get moved. This is a Tech forum for race cars. They move stuff not directly related.
