I guess if you don't understand anything about racin', I can understand why playing in the kiddie pool would be more interesting....
Clunkers? That may be what they race down in the Ozarks (we don't have a class for ratty Crown Vic clunkers - or cars with a minimum 116.1" wheelbase). Our entry level class - this is Danny Hanson - a national championship winner:
The car I've worked on for many years, with Coach T behind the wheel:
A 6 or 7 time national champion, Craig Thatcher. Another car I have helped work on.
And another friend of mine, Steve Arpin (with his wife - under 100 pounds) who has run both NASCAR Truck and Nationwide races (10th place finish at Daytona).
Another shot of Steve holding my niece's little boy at Deer Creek Speedway.
Another friend of mine (my wife used to work with his mother) - Jimmy Mars.
Jimmy is the same age as you, but started racing cars in 1985 (when you were still riding a bicycle). He's an engineering grad, and has a racing resume that is very impressive as a driver, but he and his brother have owned and operated their own race shop building race cars for drivers all over the country.

All the above cars are
Chevy powered. All these friends of mine have won championships.

Courage ? Oh ! Now this "Come up and meet me" crap

FWIW, I wasn't referring to fighting courage. I was referring to having the courage to actully bet real money on the Ford engine you built to win a race up here at Deer Creek.
You did post this:

I'd bet money if the Ford engine I built came to your neck of the woods and beat your precious Chebby, you'd be crying for a strip search of the car

In all the years I've been involved in racing (as long as you've been alive), I've never been involved in having someone torn down. I seriously doubt that you'd ever try and come up here and try and compete with real racers, so why would I need to have them tear down your Ford?
That's not to say that people from down south don't come here, but they are real racers - not your "toothless white trash" from the Ozarks.
We had racers from 24 states, Canada and Australia race here last year.
Demographics of the fans - 8% are "professionals" (medical/lawyer), 10% are in management, 10% are in the computer field, 9% are business owners, 10% are in sales, 14% are in mech/elect/vocational, 2% in retail and 29% are blue collar/labor.
Over 90% of the fans are HS grads (14.4% of the fans are 18 or under), over 49% have attended college and over 26% have at least a bachelor's degree.

Of course Chump with the beaut below you have alot of room to talk about us toothless hicks, maybe if I was not a toothless hick I could caught something like that instead of settling for the woman in my Bonneville ?

Yup, my wife isn't as young as she was when we were dating each other in 1972 and going parking in my 1960 Bonneville and she is heavier today than she was back then. But she does have all her own teeth...
Your wife is very attractive in that photo you posted. How old was she when that was taken (as I don't believe you have a Bonneville at this time) and how old is she now. Why didn't you post a current photo?
Glad to see that you are so obsessed with me that you actually would go to another thread and copy a photo of me and my wife and take the time to make up an extremely lame title for the photo...
Our own resident board stalker...
One last thing, to get us back on topic...
When are you going to replace your Ford PU with the "longest lasting, most dependable" truck in America - a Chevrolet....
