Sometimes it is best not to write some rules, If you don't have teeth to enforce the rule it means nothing and only tends to "P" people off.. Boy did them scales of Jerry's bite.

If them guys with the hot rods don't adapt they will go out of business, and maybe just maybe be replaced by a smarter group.

We by being open wheel are at a disadvantage. It takes a special person to go open wheel racing. It is in itself the purest and unfortunately still the most dangerous form of auto racing out there.

If one wants to be the best of the best start out in open wheels, that is where one first leans respect both for the cars and fellow racers. Like old PAPA OUTLAW would say 3 abreast and hauling as+ and never once touching one another. To me that is cool.

Florida has chosen to change engine packages, not a bad idea when you consider how many Ecotecs are laying around in junk yards, probably enough for 100 years of racing if we wished.

Most of the rest of us have stayed faithful to the motorcycle engines even though their numbers are dwindling. What we have to ask ourselves is do we stay with our engine choice either stock or hot-rod or do we start making a switch to something more available. And if so switch, how do we do it so as not to shoot ourselves in the foot.

That is where people "LIKE" Ted Johnson or Big Bill France or Emmett Hahn of Tulsa come in and take over and get the job done.

I love COMPETITION!!
