Sorry if my opinions ruffled your feathers but I would never waste my time and money on a unlevel playing field.

As the promoter and operator of the 2006 race in California I can emphatically so NO we did not have box and no box cars in the same class! What did happen was that some slick bracket racer from AZ, with a '65 Tempest and a big block, came over with his Pontiac friends and lied to tech about his car. 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.
