C'MON BRUTON

Most racers of 1320 feet, do not like the roundy round boys and their racing, but there is a lot to learn from NASCAR about how to run a sanctioning body. Track improvements on a regular basis, unbelievable purses, and none of it at the fans expense. I say, "Give Bruton Smith a shot at running the show!"

PLAIN AND SIMPLE

Your comment on not sugarcoating anything is one reason I check Drag Racing Online periodically. Although I'm out of the sport now, working an oval track, I know that with you (and Todd Silvey, too), I can find a place to get the truth, and somebody's opinion without embellishments.

Keep it up.

BLOGS? BLECCHH. . .

Good stuff. I thought I was the only one that hates driver "blogs." I really don't care where Doug Herbert went for dinner.

KEEPIN' THE PR FOLKS IN BUSINESS

Keep up the good work. In reference to the last blast, I think the PR blog people have the drivers so polished and sanitized they can't get boils on their ass. Seriously, I truly enjoy your tell it like it is style and humor and look forward to reading your opinions in 2006.

NOSTALGIC FOR FUNNY CARS

Well, Jeff, I can't wait on this one! It won't be a cheap deal to get into, but the show should be outstanding! Left hand steer, all the nitro y'all can squeeze in the tank, most likely solid suspension on the rear, no holds barred kick-ass nitro racin' again!

I'm sure you'll keep us posted on this one, eh?! Keep up the "urging", Bubba! This will be kool.

THAT AIN'T FUNNY

The headline looked good, but after reading it I lost it somewhere. The photo looked like a Willys which it is suppose to look like. In my opinion that's not a Funny Car. I want to see cars

from the late '60's through '77 running NITRO. There are cars out there with more being built everyday.

One other thing, I understand the safety point of view but 1/8 mile doesn't get it. Never has and never will from me and I'm sure others feel that way too.

Look back at NHRA first attempt at a Reunion in Ohio. I heard a lot of complaints about it being a 1/8 race.

I wish them luck (ADRL) but it's not a race for me.
