    With one of the few Nat'l races in the heart of Div. I territory, and only 13 TADs showed up, and several of them like Whiteley and Olivarez are definitely not from a D1 state.

    What happened to all the D1 tad drivers?

    Mark Albert is recovering from burns, The current division champion is out of money, Wayne Morris switched to TAFC and is doing very well this weekend. Oliverez is driving Gallants car, Two division 3 cars entered did not show. other than that the field is fine

    wrong



    Check your sources, spreading incorrect info on the web is one of the easiest thing to do. Being out of money is definitely not the reason....

    I brought up this very point on another thread, Blown racers have chosen to run Alky FC or sell out. For as cheap as I always hear A-Fuel is; is sure isn't transferring to Car numbers.

    My apologies. Hope whatever is keeping such a great championship caliber team away from the races subsides. Hope to see you at The Grove!

    I know of at least two 5.30 - 5.40 race cars that are sitting on jack stands because of the Afuel cars.

    If I had a 5.30 car the only reason it would be on jackstands is if I were checking the bearings!
    IF YOU SEE SOMEONE WALKING ON WATER CHECK FOR THE ROCKS.
    If you can run in the 30's and you have a desent driver you have a shot at winning most anywhere. Must be some other reason the cars are on jacks. Or has it got to the point that if you can't be the #1 qualifier don't bother to show up?

    Agree with you Nitrohawk at 100% , a 5.30 car at National event and a 5.40 car at most of the Division racetrack have a good chance of winning many rounds.

    I was at Pomona when Morgan ran that 5.12 agains't O'Bannon who ran a decent 5.34. .22 is about 3-4 car lengths, I'm suprised at the number of Blown cars that still run to be honest.
