With all do respect to all involved in this conversation, splitting a win or what ever you call it at a local event and all past dives, falls, or what ever it may have been in the past by whoever, big name racer or obscure local hero, does not and did not have the negative impact on the sport as the recent JFR dive has had. Today's media coverage brings it home like no other.
And if some of you folks wouldn't sound so condescending, it would make you come across a bit more friendly to new comers to this forum. Just because someone is new to this forum, certainly doesn't mean him or her is new to drag racing, now does it?
And just because someone doesn't like what's happening or does not like the way the rules are and speaks out in a negative way in general or specifically about drag racing, doesn't make one less of a loyal fan than anyone else. It's just his or her opinion, no matter dumb or smart it might make one look or sound.
I certainly meant no disrespect to you and hope you continue here....
I agree with your view of today's media..***just a few minutes ago on ESPN Sport Center..Force..(Good news is: Drag Racing getting Huge Ink)
( By the way...much to some opponents surprise..I Never split 1st & 2nd place money), many do..that's their deal..Me? , old fashioned.....
Again, good points by you regarding these issues.
As as been pointed out, this forum is very civil compared to others..some are rdiculous......(loaded with non racer/keyboard wizards who run their mouths just to stir up crap)
