THANKS,,,you had the 'gahunas' to ask!! I've wondered this alot since I joined Moparts. I was "hibernating" for a few years and was getting back into it when I joined here. I have had my car 'finished' enough to get in 5 races this season and expecting alot more next year. I see lots of posts that I can tell are "memory" posts,,,but,,thats OK with me, as I have lots of memories too. My favorite shirt I saw said.,
"the older I get, the faster I USED to go". I believe that is true for alot of us. I still like talking to the guys on here, but wish there was another forum for people that race weekly to compare notes and thoughts.


If you like drag racing, support your local track.

I work out of the country, I'm out 4 weeks and home 2 weeks. That gives me tnt on wed nights, sat races and sun tnt then get back on the road or in the air. I did manage about 40 or so passes this year and won some money a couple of times. But I just bought this new car I'm in about 4 months ago and had to build another engine for it, so I lost 2 weekends. Now it's tnt for the winter at whatever track is open. the local track is closed, but the owner lets me go around the back of the track and use the track, un prepped whenever I want. This spring I will be running the car more since I told work to go pound sand. Customs is getting to be a hastle to work in other countries. so I will be home more.

Was ( probably )racing before you were born - and still am. Don't think there are any pre-qualifications to participate here though - or are there?

Racer is a relative term.

This is the "Unlawfl,s Race Only" section. It was the Race section. Moparts dedicated it to Gary after he passed. He spent alot of time here and created alot of comradery amongst the people here.

Gary wasnt a full time racer himself, but he was a racer at heart. Maybe more of a TnT kind of guy, but at heart he considerd himself a racer.

He built and shared the build of his street/race car and track events with us.

I dont think it matters if some havent raced in years or dont put down 100 passes a year. If theyve got something positive to add to this section its all fine by me

I havent raced in years myself, so if you had your way I guess Id get the boot

Im more of a TnT guy myself. I like this section because of all the long time members that post here. Alot of them also attend the Norwalk Classic year after year that Gary had a Big part in building up.

I dont see any need for some type of segregation as you imply. I say have some mike

I have not made a pass in about ten years. But I am building another car. My son works in the racing industry and is in the n02 business. I don't post very much on here because some of the folks on here are such smart a##'s. I know enough about racing that I can tell who knows what they are talking about and who dosen't. Usually if I have a question I pm that member and ask them. Good natured ribbing is one thing. But I see people getting there feelings hurt and then the personal attacks start. I learned a long time ago there is always someone smarted than me or you.

As little as I get the car out anymore, I've basically given up on racing and just hit the Test & Tune sessions to have fun beating on it and making it faster.

The last time I actually wanted to go some rounds, the car sprung an oil leak before the 1st round was called and that was it for the day. Oh, that was the last time I was at the track (2009), too.
