Thread: My opinion of why this hobby/sport is dying

Tweet

I've been noticing this more and more and it is driving me nuts. I honestly believe the reason this hobby/sport is fading away because the younger generations are lazy and don't want to work for anything. Everything has to be easy.............

I was searching you tube for videos and I found this old video of my car from one of the times my brother had it at Byron. Check out the comment from a month ago under the vid:

'68 CORVETTE 5.9 CUMMINS DIESEL at BYRONS DIESEL DRAGS - YouTube

If you don't want to go to youtube, I'll post it here.

How can we make everyone realize we are fucking idiots... I know put the heaviest engine we can find in a corvette so it will only run elevens and not weight transfer at all. Just because you can do something doesnt mean you should. You could run elevens with any ls based motor or a mildly built old small block, and do wheelies, with no annoying smoke and smell.

I thought about going and replying to this person, but I figured I'm just going to be arguing with a moron and it's a waste of my time. If this person had any sense he'd understand why some one would do this. That isn't the fastest the car has ran, and there's a lot more left in the car. The car does weight transfer and in that vid you can hear how slow it leaves the line. If I ever get the trans to stall, it'll be pullilng wheelies. Either way, this dip chit puts it in words and shows why this sport is going away. Use an LS and be like everyone else, don't do anything different. Pound sand, run your welder or car, not your fingers!!!!!!!!
