[Steve Barcak]

Goatman,
You use a code name, I don’t know who you are, that’s Ok as the rules allow it. If I knew your name I would use it, I use mine. You have cut me down on just about everything I say and insulted me repeatedly. You seem to get everything I say backwards. On the “I walk the walk and talk the talk” statement. It is not contradictory, I was referring to using Pontiac power for all uses, towing, boating, driving and racing. I use nothing but Pontiac power. I think people here, for the most part, understand that. I even built a 10K watt generator that was powered by a ’61 Tempest 195 slant 4 (that’s real Pontiac power LOL) There is nothing contradictory about that. Also, I did not say that a Station wagon towed as well as an expensive truck. I have been in nice trucks and they pull very well. I was comparing costs, that’s all.
I would like to have heads up racing. I am open to what would be the most appealing to the racers and the show crowd. Poncho Pete understands the situation, as I think others do too. Until enough guys that are racing want it, it will be bracket racing. I offer extra lanes for those who want to make exhibition runs, grudge matches or whatever. I am doing what I can to promote vintage Pontiac power. How is this “pissing everyone off”? Most of the return posts here have been positive, not negative.
Also new for this year, I am renting the track for a second day. The day after “Pontiac Heaven Drags” which is Sat, April 5 will be another event open to all 1981 and older American cars and trucks. At this event racers can run other brands and cars with transplants too and will include a swap meet and car show. Any engine, any combo. I thought about an open event for all years but, that is done all over already.
Finally, your quote that “

Steve has done a wonderful job of pissing off all the top dogs here, and elsewhere, on this thread. I'm no where near one of them, but I'm coming up real quick and I'm not putting up with this crap either. “
*What are you referring to about “ not putting up with this crap either?” Would you please explain to all of us here what you mean by that statement?
* Who are all these “top dogs” that I have, allegedly, “pissed off”? How have I “pissed them off”? * What makes someone a “top dog” How many are there? 10? 25? 50? 100?
Let them speak for themselves if they are “pissed off” as you state.
I have no intention to “piss off” anyone. Also, I do not see people “pissed off” here and I have received no negative emails on the subject. I don’t expect everyone to agree with me or anyone else for that matter. But “pissed off”?
There are hundreds and hundreds here reading these posts. To show my sincerity here, if your statements are factual, let these “top dogs” post a reply on this subject with their names and their issues with me. I will answer each one and either explain my posts or apologize here if I was, indeed, wrong. Of course, if you are overstating your claims about me “pissing off all the top dogs” I would expect you to do the same and apologize to me. I would like to clear the air (if your statements are true) with the members of this board.
