No offense Dave, but am I the only one here that makes absolutely no sense to?

Im of the opinion that at the top level NHRA PRO CLASSES the most qualified IS THE MOST DESERVING. Jeez louise are you advocating some type of affirmative action for the pro classes?


NOW THE WORLD ACCORDING TO MIKE!!!!(im never wrong, just ask me)

It is wrong to let someone with no drag racing experience(driving) go straight to the pro's with only school and a few single squirts. It says a lot to the legitimacy (or lack thereof) as a whole.

Some have said that the alky class has nothing to offer as experience to a fule driver. THIS IS WRONG.. How can learning how to handle an out of control car at 250MPH not help prepare a driver for doing it at 300mph? Im not talking about the differences in staging, clutch or not, rpm's up or not, im talking car control. It makes no sense to pick a rook over a rookie with experience.

Im not going to name names but some of the drivers listed by some here as having no experience DO HAVE EXPERIENCE. I borrowed a couple of TI bolts from a guy at sacramento while he was shaking down an A-fuel car well before he ever ran a FC. You see him on tv quite a bit but was listed as one of the beginners on here by someone. I can give another example first hand but will leave it at that.

I'll also say this. Not everyone in the pro pits thinks its all hunky dory to bring a greenie straight to the pro's. I'll leave out how I know this, think of it what you will.

And for the life of me I cant figure why this subject seems to get under peoples skin.

Just one mans opinion that dont mean squat, mine I mean.


NOW THATS THE WAY IT IS OR DAMN WELL SHOULD BE!!!!!!!!!!!!

Im done and now return you to your regular programming.
