I think you guys are going about it all wrong. I would use a 650 Polaris triple liquid cooled, or an old Yamaha SRX engine, and have the Snyders set up a clutch for me. Run it like a mini fuel car.
You race where there is a good car count.LOL. Alot of tracks have JRs qualifying in the a.m. and eliminations starting at noon,big cars start qualifying at noon and elimnations starting later.Does Bandimere to it that way? Might be something for them to do.
I always seem to smile when I see the youngsters getting suited up and race. I know some of the old guys get impatient having to wait on them, but in the end, these kids are the future John Force and Shirley Muldowneys. I'm also shocked over the amount of aminosity shown towards the lil racers by the old farts who have been out on the track for decades. What a bunch of selfish, short sided Aholes. Their constant bitching and bad attitudes having to wait an extra half an hour is only going to hurt the future of the sport.
I'm also surprised and impressed by the money and time the parents put in for their kids. Many sacrifice all their free time and thousands of dollars invested in these little race cars.

I don't know who if anybody this was aimed at but I certainly don't have a problem with Junior Dragsters or Motorcycles, it's the track operators, if they'd just anounce it in advance or or give them a time slot that would work for everybody. I'm guessing you'd probably have a different outlook if you were sitting there with a helmet on, neck brace, firesuit and strapped into a FC Cage!

Just an Old Drag Racer that still has dreams of going fast!
Does cost to play.I took out a 5k home equity loan to get us started in 1998 and threw it in the back of my truck and towed him to the lanes with a POS 3 wheeler.Got re married and the wife talked me into getting a 16 ft trailer behind the truck and ended up with a dually and a 24 ft enclosed..Low dollar but we went rounds.Bologna sandwiches for years.Once my son got out of JRs I told him if he wants to race a big car its on his dime.It may take awhile but hes trying.

If you know someone who is having to sweat it out in the staging lanes; maybe they should direct their anger at those who deserve it. The track operators, not the kids.

The reason I brought up love them or hate them is because people /racers have griped and complained about them for years now. These gripers have zero clue of the dedication the families and the kids apply to their racing. My son has dedicated his time to this hobby......he should not have to listen to adults who give him a hard time about running his car during a test and tune.....we paid the same amount as they did. But every time we run it never fails that some ricer racer bitches that they shut down the TNT to run juniors. It just gets really old...... I can't help it that most of them didn't have dads in their miserable lives......hope that clears the air.....LOL
The Beatings will continue until MORALE IMPROVES !!!!
