---END OF RULES---

Lets move forward and get a race under our belts and if something is terribly wrong we should work together in getting it remedied prior to the next one. The rules were opened to capture as many of the cars that were displaced by the disbanment of Norwalk gold/silver racing format. This same basic racing format is highly successful on the east coast, they have very large fields of competitive cars and not full of field fillers of slow uncompetitve cars.

The rules look good!! The only problem I see is if the response keeps growing it may need changed to an all run or a 32 car field, very good problem to have though!! Don't do what Norwalk does an start eliminating cars that some don't like, some don't come back, just add another class or open this one up. Great job so far guys, lets hope it plays out well.

That would be a good thing, too many cars and you have to split into two classes. Then you can put the mountain motor big block Gerry Penn's in a class all on there own and have a small cube class and the two winners from each 8.90 index class race off at the end of the night for an extra bonus (provided/sponsored by Gerry ofcourse) ahhh this is all coming together! Gerry you better race this class you big pussy! Fuck, all the shit you talk and your chickening out. Hell you got the biggest got damn tires on this fuckin board and maybe the largest engine in the class why the hell wouldn't you race this? Afraid my 281 is gonna put you on the trailer after I drive that fucker to the track from Youngstown and embarrass you? Or worse yet, the STING with his amc??!!!! oh shit I done did it now, gloves are coming off:)

Oh, I can insure you we don't know one another even though we talk once at norwalk when you had 10 people around your car scratching their heads trying to figure out why it was so slow.:)

But after I add 300lbs to my car and short shift it and pedal the big end. I will be glad to introduce myself AFTER you try to catch my 393 CI's of a$$ kicking mod motor engine.

I almost forgot to wish you a Merry Christmas. I hope your boyfriend got you some new go fast parts for that pig. Oh sorry "fly ride" :)

You explained to me in one of your earlier post what yellow bullet was for, and how to talk to dickheads like you. how am I doing so far?

WOW I GOT SOME SUPPORT - FordRules: NOW BIG D WHEN YOU CAN RUN THE NUMBER CALL- IF NOT SHUT THE FUCK UP -IM DOING IT WITH NO COMPRESSION OR A CAM OR TURBO-NOS - BLOWER :-damnit SUCKS TO BE YOU WANNA BE :-D
Yea you finally got some support.....from your jock strap friend. You SHOULD be running the number, you got a mountain motor in a go cart, running race gas in your so called low compression engine. I haven't attempted to build a race car yet, but when I do, I WILL CALL YOU!
 
#491 ·
Really? you reading the same posts I am? He hasn't said one fact yet? Pretty sure he is still in grade school, maybe one of Jerry's kids? Speaking of facts, AMC's are 0 for life against me Rob just thought I would refresh your memory.:-Daw
 
#487 ·
Yes we will, I hope the Thompson deal gets up and running. Should be a lot of fun if there's enough cars that can run the number. That's when it will get real interesting. I understand what Batters trying to do but the SA class at norwalk needs to get more cars running the number there! Not saying I have the answer on how to do that, if anyone would know it would be him. I hope allowing the notched frame cars in will help.
i cant wait to race some 10-11 sec cars :) ill just shift @5000 instead of 7600
