Jesus, these rules are 40 times more complicated than the one Keefer came up with for Atco, yet you bitched about Keefer's rules?

As my father would say, "I didn't lose anything in New England".

[Goatman]

When you open the rules to allow any make of car, you need to cover yourself.

Plus, don't forget, this class has established itself in the last four years. Its now a track sponsored class. Keefer's deal had to be vague to work, as he needed car counts.

PS

Look at the rules Keefer is running in his class in NMCA, you'll see quite a bit of similarity.

Or are you saying you can't bring anything to the table in NE?

[Brian Baker]

I'm saying I haven't lost anything in NE.

You and I both know my car wouldn't be competitive in this class, but I didn't build it around the rules of this class.

[DAVE RIBEIRO]

Hey Goatman,

Please let us know when you WIN..Good luck
this year with your heads-up racing....
Dave...1033/stock

[Goatman]

Dave, I'll do you one better, I'll let you know when someone with a Pontiac other than me has the heart to even show up.

At least I tried.

[meanken]

How would you like to be a tech. inspector there? Can they look at cars and still hear the banjo music? Or do the keep walkmans in their coveralls?

[Goatman]

I think everyone is more hung up on the 3400lb cars running low 8's at over 160mph pass after pass.

Overalls or not, no Pontiacs can even get into the semi's.

[69Goat1]

Goatman - do you have a point to make or what? We know you hate Pontiacs because even after throwing cubic $ at one you couldn't get it out of the 10's but that amainly has a lot to say about YOU instead of the car!

Do you just want us to all worship Ford or what?

If not then just get over it and accept that some people are totally happy messing around with an old Pontiac Motor and maybe even Bracket Racing if they choose to do so! All you want to do is cut everything anybody likes to do that is not APPROVED by BRUCE ALLMIGHTY Down and kick it around in the dirt!

It must really suck to be you!

[GTO]

Man!!!! Too many rules. There's more handycaps than bracket racing! Cid to weight to power adders to tire size????? Why don't they just go heads up? ... Eric

[SupergasDil]

Heads Up = Run Whatcha Brung.
May the best man win!

[ERIC17621]

Goatman, from your constant taunting, I suppose you will be there as well, correct? Do you have any “stones� to race, or are you just watching and doing what your told in the pits? You could always bring the Hyundai running 18's? Oh wait, not enough cylinders. What about the Geo? Damn still not enough cylinders! Oh wait, I know! You'll just run down the track in under a minute and a half, easily beating all of the slow Pontiac people on the board!

Just to clarify and remind everyone, what were your heads up racing accomplishments again?

[larry davis]

Ok so what are/were some of the winning times & MPH from last years events?
I think I might know a Pontiac that would compete, esspecially if Bruce was going to wager a little $ and/or agree to some form of public humiliation.

[PONTIAC DUDE]

Wayyyyyyyyy. Too many rules or I would go there.

Isn't the novel War & Peace shorter? Close, but shorter.

The 'Lord of the Rings' trilogy isn't as long as those rules.

And only good for ONE track to boot.

[PONTIAC DUDE]

I got half way thru the rules and ..............



Fell Asleep. LOL.

[Rob B]

Dude, you got further than I did!!!!

[Steve C.]

[1968_Injunhed]

I wore out the wheel on my mouse scrolling those rules.

[Goatman]

So is everyone done crying?

That's the best excuse you guys can come up with not to show?

More pathetic than I thought............
