I would say those are some serious accusations that AJ or Roy will possibly not take too lightly.
Getting old just means you were smarter than some and luckier than others.

They don't call Allen "Rooster" for nothing. Don't worry about AJ. Or Roy for that matter, AJ came by it honest. Cheating? I don't think so. Can't get anything past those NHRA inspectors. Brian Dunnigan

maybe because sometimes it takes a cheater to beat a cheater?
for what is the good life if not doing things thoughtfully?

It takes a cheater mentality to out and out accuse someone without proof. Pretty self centered , as well. (IF I CAN'T DO IT, HOW CAN THEY??) I say to anyone making accusations, prove it, or shut your trap! A real sportsman would publicly say, "those guys are flying, we are going to have to up our game"

It looked to me(at the race)like AJ blew the tires off it leaving the starting line,like he has done in the past a time or two when he missed the set-up. I taped the race and will watch it tonight and may can tell more,but I am almost positive he blew the tires off because it looked like the car got side-ways and out of the groove.

Quite simple...dont support the whiners sponsor... ...probably 80% of the people on this board brag about buying from them right? You got two guys running GM cars at Summit, and Jeggie running a Mopar, and gets hardly any support here. I have no dog in this fight, I dont buy from either of them anyhow, but if I was to support a mail order house, it would make sense to support the one running Mopars right? BTW...I asked Allen Johnson to stop in Moparts and give us a quick update...as always...he will oblige shortly. He never fails to respond. Class act they are.

I think of ultra lightweight cranks flexing, do you think that is what he reffering to?

I was thinking the same thing but to what advantage? it will flex both ways. Maybe I am thinking of it linerally and not in a 3D way.

Great, give him a real Hemi to build and now he's going to learn something. Look, I know those guys work hard and Greg's brother Jeff is here local but I just can't get past the 'tude.

Well Greg is not a very personably person, and he DOES act like a douche. Jason is getting like that, but not as bad. Ive been around them in Topeka, and Bandemere, every time they have a too good attitude and dont like to talk to ya. I wanted to talk with Jason on his Wagon build he has, and I tried to ask him how much he drives it, and what he got it dialed in to run and he gave me the cold shoulder. They werent even racing, or even getting ready to race. This was on a friday and they were already very highly qualified. Now a total flip to this was at the same race, Bandemere, (sp). I was walking through the pits had a mopar performance shirt on. There by a pole watching some sportsman racing was Jeggie, Larry morgan, and Connely. All three of them shot the [Edited by Moparts - Family Friendly Site - Keep it clean] with me for quite some time, signed my shirt, and Dads helmate he just bought. I was pretty impressed with those guys, just regular guys who just happen to be pro racers. I could care less what they drive in Pro stock, if they are to good to talk to their fans, and snub them off, they can all kiss my ticket paying azz. We as fans keep their jobs going. Ive never had any issues with Allen or Roy. Alderman, and Scott RIP were cool also.

Everybody has good days, and bad days, even at the track! I'm sure a few fellow racers or spectators have thought I was a jerk on more than one occasion...and I'm the nicest guy on this board!!
I like Jason's sense of humor, and let's face it, if you're throwing your hat in the Pro Stock ring...you better have thick skin, and a healthy dose of self-confidence if you intend to stay around long, so I don't think a few words thrown about is going to get anyone in an uproar.
Now I gotta call my machinist and inquire about one o' them rubber cranks...

Wow, can't believe I missed this thread. I know a girl that worked at Summit for quite a while and she said that both Anderson and Line were even jerks(not the word she used) to the people that worked there. Wouldn't even stop and say hi. Or slow down and acknowledge you. But anywho...

Along those same lines, isn't Line & Anderson the ones who had those illegal shocks a few years back? You know, the ones that were $10K apiece, and had computer logic built into them to automatically adjust the chassis to conditions during the run? Just sayin'.

They weren't illegal at that time, but they were outlawed to keep costs from running away.
IIRC, WJ was the one who bytched about the cost.

I get a kick out of the sanctioning bodies saying that the rules are made to "hold the costs down".. The local dirt tracks pull this quite often. At the end of the day,,the racer with the most money will usually win. As far as the Pro Stock class goes, I don't think that the 'top' teams give any consideration what so ever to the cost of going fast and being at the top.
If you like drag racing, support your local track.

Keep this in perspective. You dont get called a cheater when you lose all the time. My mother got all upset cause I got called a cheater at a local track. I had to remind her take it as a compliment that we were doing well enough that someone thought the only way we could be doin that well was to be cheating. Go AJ!

Well, I'm 53 and since I been in the trade those GM folks were calling Mopars rubber cranks and square cranks all the time. Have no idea what it all means, always referring to the Mopars as junk. Old-timer comments for sure, even back in the day.
