I just find it funny that 40 years later people are still whining about what happened to Modified, but at the same time want to eliminate all the classes they don't like now.

Glad Dave is going to be alright. My only concern was the belt tab breaking off. From what I could see in the vid I watched, it looked like the weld was none too good.

Even good welds can break, if there's enough force applied in the right direction. If not the weld itself, then the metal immediately surrounding the weld.

I'm looking at that picture of him in that hospital bed thinking, "Damn, he looks like hell!" Then I look at the remains of the car, and I guess it's all relative.

You can have any opinion you want. Just curious.


Never raced in my life.

Just a fan.

"Street Outlaws" star Daddy Dave was thumbs up during his hospital stay ... even though he can't remember why he ended up there.
Dave's wife Cassi tells us Dave is healing up pretty well after the accident ... and was released from the hospital early Monday. He'll go back home to Oklahoma to recover.
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.

Probably a good thing he doesn't remember the crash but the concussion is never good.

On a side note, was anyone else disappointed they didn't follow through with the $5,000 buy in, $50,000 pay out plan? Seems like they really strayed from what they had been talking about since day one.

Yeah, seemed like a little "Bait and Switch" trickery going on there to get the guys to tow in from far away. But, who knows how it really went down, and what ended up on the cutting room floor.

Well from being a super stock racer for 40yrs a can tell you if you are not rolling when the green flashes you are done. Like Al says most of the pro drivers started in the sportsman ranks, Jason Line ran stock for years, Erica Enders started in a Jr dragster. As far as NHRA changing to qualifying and dial-in is because most sportsman racers can not afford to keep up with the deep pockets of some teams and would be forced to bracket race or park thier cars. This is thier attempt to keep the "little guy" racers competitive in stock/super stock and the creation of the .90 classes. Sorry, rant over😁 Poppaj

for my madscientist, well don't know what to say. But a few tidbits.

First off the opinion comment was not aimed at you. Someone else took it upon themselves to state some opinions don't matter to him which is fine and nothing new here. He knows who he is and if you read the previous posts so would you.

We have some mutal acquaintances and they tell me you are not a bad guy. Which I am sure is true. I have learned over the years on here however when people are different in person than the persona here that they do themselves a disservice. Maybe some introspection could be in order, maube not. I did learn however from your reply to me and subsequent replies that it is very easy to push your buttons apparently. Just food for thought.

You can have any opinion you like. Matters not to me. I was stating my opinion on what you posted. You stated with few exceptions no one from .90 stuff moves up, I pointed out a few names off the cuff and you got mad. Whatever. In my opinion I think those classes will not be going anywhere in the near future. Unless the economic model for the NHRA changes we are the wheels that make the bus go. I don't think anyone is under any impression that we ARE the SHOW. However most of us understand our role in the bigger picture. Like it or not it is the way it has been and will likely remain for the foreseeable future. The NHRA has MANY faults and makes MANY poor decisions there is no news there.

Yes. But Chiefs explanation was very believable.
