I think there is some confusion as to who meets the criteria for this race section.I honestly feel that anyone who has an interest in the sport be it racer to fans and everyone between.Sharing the knowledge is great,sharing the interest is even better.The race topic spills into most every aspect of Mopar interest.Sharing,learning and just communicating with others create a common bond around the world,right here on Moparts.
Ding Ding Ding!!! We have a winner!! Well spoken,Bob!! 
OF COURSE....ANY AND ALL are welcome, just there are too many "internet/keyboard experts" on here, thats all im saying.....
That's the great thing about it is those"keyboard experts" chime in show their true character or lack of character and we get tons of entertainment.This is a great way to find who is real and who is a poser.As long as we keep it civil,everyone can decide who is full of BS for them selves.You will always get varied opinions ,and how you are viewed is how you present yourself,good or bad.

Actually race? Yes. A racer? Ehhhh w/7 whole passes last year I don't know if that qualifies.  Year before was better. This place has a wealth of knowlege and some are people who have raced but don't at present.
Yeah, it's got a smallblock.

Ya think they're gonna call themselves out? And what if they do? This is the Internet, remember? Ya gotta have a good BS meter going all the time, and ignore the flakes/trolls. Just like water off a duck's back - let it roll right off.
If you don't have one you can use mine

Very good Bob
They are taking a test without even knowing it!
So when they open mouth-insert foot, we should be entertained.
But I do think some VERY knowledgeable people have been chased off of here do to internet know-it-alls argueing with them.  
I have learned a lot from many on here for that I thank you

Lets include all the 750-1500 DYNO HP show poodles and we can probably fill another 6 pages.
Let's not.I once saw a show poodle being molested by a Bull Mastif.It wasn't a pretty site and words to discribe wouldn't be fit for print.

Had my liscence since '97. Had the car since '87. Race as much as time, money and events will allow. I'd guess I ask more questions here than I comment but I'll share my experience if the post is about something feel qualified to comment on. Generally I try not get caught up in the BS but I've commented on posts and know it has been taken the wrong way, it's never intentional. I've learned a lot here and everyone seems willing to help if they can. Don't change it.
'74 Challenger..9.46 @ 145.9 1/4, 6.001 @ 118 1/8 so far. 4023lb !!! # N/A, Marsh performance 655ci, Indy Maxx, T/R, Indy 600-13 X's, Street legal, pump gas, full interior, Cal-Tracs, mufflers, 3:73's and real 10.5 radials.

I think I was a kid when I saw my first drag race on TV in the 70's so I think that was when I was hooked. I had fun cars thru high school but never did anything with them. About 10 years ago, I began to look around for something and was always into Mopars... a little while after that, I came across my car, sitting out in Nevada (from who I would find out later was owned by a member on here who's name is/was LAWFISH) and the deal was done. I had no intention of racing it, just restoring it and make it a daily driver.... until I found this website. It went from a daily driver to a stroker engine, dana, etc.etc... you get the hint. It's a street/strip car and regarding my times down the dragstrip, over the past 3 years, maybe 20. One thing I found myself doing was keeping my eyes open to the info found on here and learning from it. I think I have been doing pretty good so far... I think I would consider myself someone who does race a car. Thanks Moparts to a wonderful site. It is very greatly appreciated. Dave

So after skimming through a couple posts in this thread I’ve learned the following…
1. Almost all, or the great majority have now or at one time raced a car
2. Everyone one else that hasn’t posted in this thread is an idiot. Thus bringing up the question how many members remain considering this thread is now five pages long… and counting!
3. The mating mechanics of dogs of disproportionate size is somewhat non-elegant.
Outstanding!
