We're told he's been having problems with his short-term memory after suffering a concussion from the horrific crash. He's been told numerous times what happened, but he keeps forgetting.
As we reported, the accident occurred Saturday.
Dave's lucky ... and his family keeps reminding him of that.

No sarcasm here at all: I really hope he's got a good health insurance plan to cover this, plus the longer-term expenses that are going to come up during his recovery.

So which is it? You race or just critic?


Does it matter?

Evidently you think I can't have an opinion on womens issues because I am a man, or can't have an opinion on war because I'm not a combet vet.

The truth is it's none of your business what I do, or how I form my opinions.

You ain't my wife or mother (mom, are you on the interwebz screwing with me again???) so I don't answer to you.

Have a nice day.



You're a special case my friend. I've noticed in more than one of your posts. I'm not being combative. Just curious as to what racing you enjoy since you have a dig for all of it.


How do I have a "dig" for anything? Because I see something wrong and say it, that's a bad thing?

For the record, I don't really enjoy racing all that much anymore. So much money, all the crap, poor shows for the money and no one says a thing about it, and when you do, you get publically flogged.

Think about it for a minute and it may come to you, but I doubt it.

And you are being combative cuz I don't play your game and answer to you. Get over it.


Just because you think it won't make it true. Horsepower is KING. To dispute this is stupid. C. Alston

You guys are forgetting one thing. The yuppies carried NASCAR thru some pretty lean years. It was the in thing to do while sipping wine and fancy drinks with umbrellas in them


1970 Duster
Edelbrock headed 408
5.984@112.52
422 Indy headed small block
5.982@112.56 mph
9.42@138.27

Livin and lovin life one day at a time

For those of you that don't know, Mad Scientist is, and will always be, a mad scientist. He had a small block 65 (I Think) Baracuda that would power to weight ratio, eat a lot of stuff alive back in the 90's and perhaps even now. He tries a lot of other stuff people won't, so don't sell him short. He got smart and quit, and keeps doing head work for only certain people, including me, and has other businesses. He is opinionated, wound up, but a pretty good guy all in all. He also knows how to make power with less than most, so give him some credit. He's also been a fan for as long as I've known him and been around the sport that long as well. There are a lot of people here that think only their opinion matters, whether they know what they are talking about or just spewing BS. As against street racing as I am, I enjoy watching the show. It fills the TV time taken up by so much drivel. Peace out!

. Every head porter I know is kinda messed up in the head. Personally I think it's caused by cast iron dust and aluminum exposure

Mad Scientist, I agree with most all you say, right now all non professional racers run for their own benefit, not to put on any show, and they have pride in there cars. I liked Super Gas when it first came about because the all ran close to the breake out, then came the big engines with the top end charge,ruined it then. Just make them run with in a certain mph, better racing then imo. NHRA definitely needs to change something. I will not go to another national event because the cost to enjoyment is way off like Al said. The best racing I see now is at a little track 10 miles from me . On Friday nite is test and tune and almost always the big hitters show up for grudge racing, money flashed all around, people stirred to a frenzy. Takes me back forty years. Good to have an opinion, hang in there.

you have to watch the show where they showed the clip of the car moving before the light. not the video. after they watched that he paid up because it was very clear the car moved before the light came on. which is one of the rules they all agreed on just like the black line was the center line.

Well who has that video to show on here, and one that's not (possibly) doctored by the TV show. Dude could have been paid off more than he had to pay up to the other guy, so he stays quiet, Then comes back for "rematch,show time". What angle where the TV cameras,how close, that's the big question. I'll watch the video again to see where the other cameras are

I'm certainly not questioning his knowledge. And I'm sure he's really a good guy.

Tony your car looks great!! I would love to race you and check it out sometime. Take the right lane so I can see it in the wide view mirror behind me wink
