Yeah, it's funny how that works like that. It's almost like.....I'll just leave it alone.Originally Posted by B18c1Turboed
You made the comment about the shirt I was wearing and I answer it. Who's getting defensive now?And jaime just becasue u make one more NDRA event then me dont mean anything, there was a few races i didnt see you at last year that mahdavi was at, that just called having a family and having to stay home. so before you question my loyatly about racing dont, becasue that just dumb,im a single car NO SPONSORS trying to make it as many races as i can,so before you go on this rant why i wasnt there.i just wasnt . making money comes before racing!!!
Trust me, I know all about family first. Believe me I know. I just think that it's instigating when you are going based off what you heard from only one camp and making assumptions. That's how the BS drama starts and festers. I actually went over to Yamil and told him they had a great run. I wasn't a bad sport about it at all. There's no beef between me and anyone at all. I just don't think it's fair to report something from only one side.....UNLESS you are in fact instigating, which you said you weren't. That was my point.
Would any racer be happy they lost? Again, this is just instigating IMO.So was Dan sad he got put on the trailor by a new driver?
#1. Because it's ILLEGAL in our class.Why would mahdavi protest over a battery?
#2. Because it's ILLEGAL in our class.
#3. And finally because it's ILLEGAL in our class.
You want me to list out the times they protested Sam in the last 3 yrs alone?
So in your book it's "sneaky" to protest something that is very clearly specified in NHRA's rule book that is ILLEGAL to use in our class???? So what do you consider using ILLEGAL equipment??? Smart? Cool?you think having a bigger battery is a power adder!!!! Man that some sneeky stuff right there,you loose to a racer then you protest becasue a battery!! WOW!!
Whatever. WE didn't make up the rules. NHRA did. We were ALL told very clearly and specifically that tech rules would be way more strict this year due to NHRA affiliation. They went on and on about how there were going to be far more cars DQ'd at tech and we'd better read and follow the rules. Most of our prep hours in the last month have been spent, not in figuring out how to cheat, but in buying thousands of dollars worth of additional equipment to be sure and both cars be compliant with all the things that last year was "ok" and this year they're cracking down on.
Now, tell me that after YOU spend thousands of dollars and countless hours of wrench time putting those parts on just to be legal.....then your competitor gets a "bye" on those same rules YOU are following....How would YOU feel? The rules should apply to everyone equally. IF all of a sudden it's "ok" to do something that is CLEARLY and very BLACK AND WHITE IN THE RULE BOOK that is NOT allowed in your class just because the techs "missed it" or because you have to protest before elimination rounds start (even though we had no way of knowing anything before that), then what good are the rules? I mean, if the tech misses it.....your competitors who are busy working on their own cars miss it
Bottomline is that you can't be a "little" pregnant, right? You either are or you're not. Right? So, the same should apply to the rules. You either are legal or you're not. A "little" illegal is BS. People don't mind losing. People do mind losing AND then the rules don't apply to them too. Again, if it happened to YOU I'm certain that you'd look at it different. Beat me straight up w/o cheating and I'll shake your hand.
