i'm with you guys ..i often wonder when i'm reading some of these posts, how much some of these guys even race ?? i'm not real sure what constitutes being a real racer, but i can tell you that i've been known to take rent$/car payment$/kids milk money to go racing...lol.sometimes bring some $ back home..somtimes NOT. thank god i gotta understanding wife, and a job to pay for my habit/hobby. i think the main thing to learn is, who's posts to pay attention to, and who's to ignore. oh.. and as for me, i just counted 78 time slips from 4 different tracks for this past summer. still waiting for that first win thou, made it to a few quarter finals, but thats about it. as much as i hate to admit it "thank god for buy backs"...i was a first rd. loser way more than i liked for sure. .the thing that gets me is that some of these guys prolly have the $ to race whenever they wanted and just don't because it's too much work...but i guess if it were easy everyone would do it..

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 think you have not read all my posts...Of course people that have something to add should post on race topics..thats my point !!!
So are you gonna kick someone off if they dont race or what?

This is definitely the main thing! There are sometimes more posts to ignore than read in some cases.
I don't post much, mainly just do a lot of reading. But, I have been running a N2O BB for 3 years now. Monte Smith has been a huge help!
