A lot more surrounded this racer, but it makes little difference now. Some bracket racers are just shameful!

What continues to be an issue for "club" racing is "mindset". Too many racers have the mindset that this is some big paying national event. It is not. POCI/GTOAA Drag racing is a hobby sport.

The GR-RRReat majority who participate have fun and enjoy themselves. There is really nothing we can do to satisfy the others.

Kil-Kare is under new ownership and, as I understand, they have made some great improvements to the facilities. In particular, the starting line area. In 2009 we have more than 120 cars in competition. We are hopeful of a similar turnout and a fun day for all.
We had the same arguement in 2006. Look here for yourself. The Box and no box cars ran in the same class. http://forums.maxperformanceinc.com/...d.php?t=473308

As far as some guy from AZ winning your race. Dont look at me. I wasnt there.
