Are they fast? absolutely. Are they real race cars? absolutely. I've never denied that, Jason. My only point is, that it is a very poor show on the 1/4 mile or larger. That has been my experience everywhere I've seen them run on the larger tracks. They've obviously served you well because, in my opinion, you are an excellent race car driver. I don't begrudge you your love for the little cars, I simply don't enjoy watching them. Nothing more than that.
You know....we've beat this dead horse before and we've heard yours and Chucks opinions upteen times, not only on this, but pretty much every post on this board. Your opinion is your opinion and thats fine, why it has to be repeated by both of you dozens of times is beyond me. Almost makes me long to see Larry O back around.
My final saying on this board is this, there's more to putting on a good show than a last lap pass. Number of cars in attendance, quality of competition, quality in the looks of the cars, speed and efficiency of the show as well. I've seen PLENTY of boring sprint car races on 1/4 miles. Hell, theres a ton of them each year complained about on this board.
It's been real, I'm spending the rest of my night watching Chili Bowl with friends and family, and the rest of my winter getting my TQ and my son's 1/4 midget ready for our schedule this summer, where we'll continue, in our opinion putting on a good show.

Who thinks its ok to post opinions, just tired of the same people in every single post, and who think because they are regulars at a track that they speak for EVERYONE at the same track. And yes...this is a slam on someone speaking in the 3rd person.
