If you want to believe this dude is so blessed and such a great promoter, all the power to you, I'm not even close to being sold on this. There are SFG house cars, it was confirmed at 131 last year.

I saw on Facebook that if you lose by the 3rd Round,you can enter a raffle for something like $250 and if you win,you can get back in the race.When you have entry fees,buybacks,raffles, and sponsorship money,I'm sure a lot of money gets raised.

And its funny sometimes how those raffles are done without any witnesses. Just all of a sudden we have a winner.

That's called a lucky dog ticket. Nothing wrong with a lucky dog ticket, I actually suggested for the local track here in Florida we used to get 75-100 Super Pro cars every Friday night 33 times a year, they can't get 30 cars now once a month.

It's terrible here in Florida, bracket racing.

Ya gotta do the raffle in front of everyone who bought a ticket, but other than that there's nothing wrong with it.

It's actually kinda cool. I'd like to see a guy get back in, and win, that would be cool.

I think it would work out good here locally, maybe pull 2 lucky dog tickets at 8 or less cars I'd have no problem with it if it'll get the winner purse up to $1,000 - 1,500. If they put 100% on top. $50 a ticket, hell make it so you can buy as may as you want, here locally.

I think you did good mentioning it. Hopefully they get the memo.

I have been watching the warm up race a little.
Early indications seem like a .015 package will not get it done as the stakes get higher later in the week.Some really good runs being made already.

I hope Kenny Underwood is there and I hope he is in the final with no split, I also wish there were more racers like Kenny.

If it's the same Kenny who works for JEGS you're rooting for a weirdo. I flew up there and fixed a transmission in the 68 he used to drive, we took it Pacemakers the next day and it worked perfect made six or seven runs never leaked a drop of oil.

He stuck a TCI powerglide dragster valvebody in his transmission not realizing the separator plate wasn't cut out for tail housing drain. I told him how to fix it on the phone to no avail. I didn't wanna go up there but finally did. Split the valvebody and he used Jeggy's tools to cut the plate, bolted it back together and took it to Pacemakers the next day. Worked perfect no leak, he was happy. Obviously fixed. He gave me a couple hundred I go home. Next time I see him he's telling me the transmission wasn't fixed. LoL, I ask him how do you figure we took it to Pacemaker,you were happy it never leaked a drop.

When the drain is covered once the tailhousing is full of oil, the oil can't drain back into the transmission. It worked fine with the drain covered, it was when he parked it, it would piss oil out the vent he had in the tailhousing. Dragster trans has no need for drain with no tailhousing.

I finally told him to F off when he couldn't give any straight answers as to what he was talking about.

No good deed goes unpunished, I really didn't have the time to drop what I was doing back home, to go up there. Wish I hadn't for the measly $200.

If you see him, ask the weirdo what he was talking about, maybe you'll do better than I did, but I doubt it.

Don't do any work for that guy whatever you do, unless you can give him free torque converters. he won't give you a fair shake on your work.

All of the raffles have been live on Facebook.

There's nothing wrong with house cars.

There's nothing wrong with house cars winning either as long as officials don't tilt the table and rig the game in the house cars favor.

I still haven't heard a rational explanation on what is wrong with house cars.

To assume there's something wrong with house cars, is to assume officials intention is to tilt the table in favor of the car they put in the race.

Nobody can police who puts who in a race.

It's up to the racers to police the officials when it's self evident they've tilted the table.

It takes courage from you and every other racer to police your sport.

The debate over house cars reminds me of a full table in a Blackjack game.
The dealer is showing a 6.That is a bust card.The guy on the end has a 12 and takes a hit.He busts.
The next card is a 5.The dealer gets 16+5 for 21 and everyone walks away in disgust at the guy who took the 10 away from the dealer.
But the guy could have got a 5 and saved the 10 for the dealer to save everyone.
Bottom line is that house cars are great if they all lose early and they are bad if one or more do well.

Not at all. A house car is put in the race by the race officials paying the purse, saving the racer an entry fee, with the agreement the racer put into the race takes less of the purse in the event he wins the race.

It's the same as if I paid your entry fee and we had a deal beforehand saying if you win I get 65% of the winnings.

There's nothing wrong with house cars unless track officials tilt the table rigging the race for the car they allowed in the race, no entry fee.

45 minutes after this station wagon was declared loser and in the trailer, track officials at Bradenton invented a fantasy story to put him back in the race and in the final round. This is what the concern is with house cars put in the race on track officials dime. Preferential treatment to aid them in winning.

There's no way to police who puts a racer in a race. When it's self evident track officials rigged an outcome of a drag race, it's up to racers to police.

I didn't say there was anything wrong with house cars.I know what one is.In fact,there were a couple cars that I suspect were house cars and they have lost twice already today.

This is what the concern is with my homo car put in the race on pornhubs dime. Preferential treatment in me having to wear a ball gag to aid in stopping me from whining.

I had to get my old azz up to take a pizz. I figgert I'd print your picture and drop it in the toilet .. I used my GPS tree reader to put every drop .. between the eyes ..
PS , pornhub money or not . your still the biggest crybaby loser I ever seen . I'll check back in another 6 months , to see if you have grown up yet …

Quit crying fhaggot, with your pretend words and pretend pictures.

It's self evident who the sore losers were.

The sore losers put their loser house car back in the race using a fantasy story 45 minutes after they declared him loser and he loaded up in the trailer.

If Bradenton officials weren't guilty of fraud, they'd clarify the call publicly, like any other drag strip does in these cases without hesitation..

This is why most in here are against race officials putting cars in races.

But you already know all this fhaggot, you're just a toady lick spitter pretend POS seeking a sense of importance for your pathetic pretend life.

So, when the dust finally settled, did they find anything questionable?

Do we know anyone who pre-entered but stayed home because they were checking cars?

All of this is pointless if it isn't transparent to the racers.



About the house cars, what is the actual problem with them? If they have to abide and follow the same rules, who cares? I still haven't heard a viable explanation as to why they should not be allowed. (Maybe I missed it, I don't know)
