I just have to say I have no respect for anyone who has to plead guilty to federal drug charges. Cheater or not that shows a serious lack of character in my book and don't care if he ever makes it back to the show. He had it all going his way and threw it away over dope.
I agree 100%.
Yep, 200% here.
I had a great deal of respect and admiration for Alderman...until that. Then it went to ZERO. He's a punk, plain and simple. NHRA sucked on this deal too. They reinstated him (oh no, no pressure of race sponsor Mopar...), but won't reinstate Eckman, give me a break.
Calling Darrell a punk is out of line. He was hands down one of the most generous and amiable racers around. I'd much rather the world be filled with people like him than people who don't know a person and then make charachter judgements based one mistake. But hey keep on talking dumbass.

Guess I`m a punk too because of my addictions(which I`m clean 20+ years). Whatever, you must walk on water and have a money tree in your backyard, and cut perfect lights,and have a perfect wife......kind of reminds me of the cheese heads that beat their wife, kick their dog and fondle little children then go to church to make it all go away. Gimme a break........

BTW, I believe all Eckman needs to do is pay his fine if he wants to drive again.
Besides, he does still attend races. He was a crew member for someone, at least he was a season or two ago.

If it were the bullet, I would use some choice words and tell you how I REALLY feel. This is what makes the world go around and what keeps forums exciting in my opinion plus, you find out who people REALLY are......... 
It is alwayas easy to talk ch!t when the person you are running your mouth about is not present. I am holding back from really speaking my mind, some of you know my past and some do not.
Anyone who knows me will understand why I have comented the way I have.

well,
What intresting reading. I was lucky enough to work on Scott Geoffrion's pro stock Daytona from the 94 season.
The car was bought from Mike Sullivan by Matt Sawyer of Adelaide, Australia.
I went to work for Matt for close to 2 years. that was the most winning round by round pro car.it came down to the final race between the dodge boys as to who would win the championship that year.
I have had that car right down to its underpants and have to say that there was NO way that there was ANY indication that the car had nitrious fitted.
There was no little holes in chassis or engine plate and nothing in the hood scoop nor patching up That i could see. And trust me I looked everywhere.
The batteries where a pain to take out off the car and between rounds i find that hard to believe that they would off done this.
Mike Sullivan is a legend in his own right as a brilliant engineer. Alot off todays clutches are based around his innovation.
Darrel Alderman is the best driver i have seen. He is the only man that i have seen keep his foot on the gas with the car way out off the groove.
Those pearly white teeth off his and the interviews by the late Steve Evans at the finish line will be missed.
Ohh by the way. the Daytona won the australian pro stock championship in its Maiden year off competition.
Darrel if you are reading this. Thank you for giving me the drive to go drag racing you are a legend in my book.
May Scott Geoffrion be praised for his brilliant driving techniques.
Regards Simon Lazarevski
Adelaide , Australia
Do you think that they would sell you the car with any indication that they were cheating? Before you got it every possible fingerprint would have been wiped clean. And you'd think that with all this talent they would be able to qualify at least once in the next 5 years, wouldn't you? Oh ya, the only 4 blocks in existance were sabatoged(not stolen, mind you)and there was no possibility that they could EVER be replaced. I just love sunshine pumpers. -Bob
There where two B1TS pro stock engines built in Sweden, with the input from Wayne County tech. to make them at the same level as their program, one of them was just a spare engine to this team.
We donīt have a fraction of the budget to run dragracing here in Sweden, compared to NHRA teams, it wouldnīt have been any problems for Wayne C. to buy the spare engine block back to US.
As much as I would like to, the odds doesnīt look good for the history record.
I have owned one of those two motors and have data for both cam and head flow of those old pro stock engines.
It was a great time to be a mopar fan. just let the history rest now.

No with you. You should have known that after all. You are one of those that knows my past.
I am sure that mine is probably up there on the high end but it is how you fix yourself that matters not what you did in the past. I really don't give a CH!T what people think.
