How many on here are strictly KEYBOARD racers?? I am going to guess an overwhelming majority. Also gonna guess almost everyone on the negative side has never even tried to run any of the .90 stuff. Amazes me how many people love to bash .90 racing when most dont even understand why or what we are doing.
It just amazes me the lack of understanding yet the willingness to bash on any form of drag racing. Those of us ouot here in the west see how fragiel our sport is. If you choose to sit on the sidelines and not race we have seen what happnes. Tracks close!!! Maybe instead of constantly bashing the sport you might try getting out of your easy chair and in the shop and build a car an come racing..If not you may all get your wish and there will be NO PLACE to race. Then maybe you all will be happy, but I doubt it...

Qt .... eventually I will be but only if the money is decent on the brackets. I was considering that 27T car for sst and SG but based on what I know now ...I think I will pass on that. No $$$$ in brackets ? ... I might just keep that FED I have just fit test and tune ...
not sure i understand what you are saying. if you are planning on winning money in any class forget about it.
Qt .... other than LIBspeak ... I think you have difficulty with the rest of the English language  
And if I can not at least BREAK EVEN on the expenses of competition racing - big money brackets etc(other than the initial cost of the car) ...I will not do it.

MF, I remeber that. Was back in '82 or '83. My buddy won the Division 1 S/G title back in '82 and he drove down to the Gators AND drove back as he didn't qualify.
I'm not going to knock it, but I really loved S/G back then. But going 9's in a door car was FAST. And the few door cars that ran S/C, 8.X back then... 
MEANT to take all these in order ...sorry I missed yours ... but maybe this is the bestest of them all ....
People were IN THE STANDS for this !! .... and it was neat racing ... lots of braking and WHOOP WHOOPS in the lites .....
#1 qualifier was Bob Marshall ...9.900 ... and there were THREE of those. The bump ? ... a 91 with a 3.
