TWO STEPS FORWARD, ONE STEP BACK
You would think the Nazis would be a little more prepared
after the Pro Stock Truck debacle they lost. No Pro Stock
Truck guy is talking, just saying they are very pleased
with the outcome.

The
Russell deal was a tragic accident, maybe one in a million,
but it happened because of a tire everyone knew was no good,
and no good because of the rules. I can only blame Goodyear
a little bit, but NHRA should know better, especially under
the circumstances, the cars go way too fast and they are
not smart enough to slow them. Every time someone comes
up with a good idea on slowing cars NHRA comes back with
one that lets them go faster. . .it's the fuel pump stupid.
. .if that rule was imposed instead of the stupid ass 90%
rule we would not be having this discussion. Just my three
cents.

SHINE A LITTLE LIGHT
Yup, "dead on." I bet there are surprises and
other strange things to be learned about the murkier side
that is being hid. It is disturbing to me that someone had
to die to get rid of the tires that even the casual fan
knew were incapable of handling the performance of the car.
Not telling Julie Russell what/how her husband was killed
is inexcusable, regardless of the time frame. No one would
want to do it, but we all have done things we did not want
to but needed to do. Obviously Dupuy leaving Amato has also
raised eyebrows and initiated even more questions. Hopefully
the rest of us racers will get enough of the truth so something
like this will not happen again for a long time.
I just hope enough of the truth makes it to daylight to
help improve our sport, and does not get buried as part
of a sealed court case.
Keep pounding them, Mr. B!
