I'm with you guys, I couldn't understand any words either. But sounded like a decent battle going on though.

A guy over on Moparts.com posted about it. Seems the guy in the truck was doing burn outs in the pits and owners went to stop him. Evidently he didn't want to hear what they said.

Here is the link.

As someone said "You invite that type in". Doesn't have anything to do with the language they are speaking. That type comes in all colors and in all 50 states.

In third world civilizations, it's not who wins the race, it's who has the most bullets (sway).

Remember that the next time someone stands up for civilization (Truth), at the drag strip. Instead of pretending your hands are clean all the time, when they ain't.

Truth is order

Untruth is disorder

"Inviting that Type in"

There was a very popular track here and they started trying to get "That type in" and they did. They would do the Sunday Grudge race thing. Lots of Ghetto and gang types. The track was already having problems with the city about noise. When they brought "That Type" in on Sundays it got crazy quick and things changed. The road that went to the track was covered with beer bottles and cans every Sunday. The neighbors on the road and close by were complaining about the Rap music blasting so loud and they would stop and pee right on the road in front of houses. The Saturday Bracket racers never did any of that.
I had to do some testing one day so I got out there early and was going to get out before it got too dark. I go make a pass and come back. When I get back some animal had moved my fuel jugs and bike and parked his BMW in MY pit area and then set his alarm on the pile of Excrement and walks off. I was furious, you do not park in someones pit but these animals do not care about anything. On normal bracket race you do not worry about anything, here you had to lock your track and trailer before you left it.
For a little while the track had someone stationed in the bathrooms to keep them from pooping on the walls and floors. Finally they just let them do it. 25 people up on the starting line to line up a 7.40 in the 1/8 mile car with No time. No Problem. Glass bottles in the pits. No problem. Bracket racers and everyone else were not allowed to do that and did not but the Grudge race people did what ever they wanted to and soon the city had enough and shut them down.
In just a few years of that one of the most popular tracks in the Country got shut down due to "Inviting that type in"
That track had produced probably more National Champion Bracket racers than any other single track in the Country.
We have rules and if you let a certain group of people come in and do what they want and they do not follow same rules as the others all may lose it. The Import crowd may not be the same but people still got shot and there was a "Gunfight" that is not good publicity.
While this deal is a little different when people go to the track and start getting shot it creates unwanted attention from those who do not like the track anyway and the end is near for track and sport we love.

While "We" did not cheat in the election we allowed it and no longer have a Free Country. We suffer the Consequences of the animals who do not follow the rules and they keep doing what they want.

"Dunning-Kruger Effect"
-a type of Cognitive bias where people with little expertise or ability assume they have superior expertise or ability. This overestimation occurs as a result of the fact that they do not have enough knowledge to know they don't have enough knowledge.

Before you argue with someone ask yourself, "Is this person mentally mature enough to grasp the concept of a different perspective?" If not there is no point to argue.

Sunshine has the most million dollar bracket race winners, and they weren't even the best in a race between locals. Sunshine has gone the same route now. Of course, you're talking about Texas Raceway.

Maybe it's not the drag strips degrading, maybe it's society degrading.

I'll guarantee there would be shootouts at NFL football, NBA basketball or MLB baseball games, if everyone wasn't searched before entering the game.

Never thought of that did you? Confused

It's no wonder, look at TV programming.

The horse is out of the barn, the genie is out of the bottle never to return. Obama promised fundamental change on his first inauguration day. Mission accomplished. Can anyone point out any such sustaining policy Trump enacted? Liberals are winners conservatives are perpetual losers. Turns my stomach.

Don't recall a shooting at Kennedale..

How about Hallsville??
It was degenerating after Ken and Molly Hall left.. Great place to race until then.
Under the new management he there was a shooting during a Grudge night. They closed shortly after. Of course it was on the road to closing anyway.. In my opinion.
The guy had to remove the boards from the stands because the insurance company was going to drop him. There were other issues as well.

There are a couple of other tracks here in Texas that are edgy when it comes to their races. But somehow they keep on keeping..

Could be, ultimately the point I'm making is my local track has now gone the same route after producing some of the best local bracket racing in the country with 41 race schedules. It's now degraded to a test n tune track and hangout, not organized professional racing of the past.

I've said it a million times, they've offshored US prosperity to china, the majority of people struggle to pay a light bill much less think about drag racing. To survive reproductivity, they're (officials) waving in illegals, turning America into a third world civilization.

Young people aren't starting families, so they're waving in illegals.

This is gonna continue to degrade, unless people recognize why, and start discussing why.

I've seen more shootings and stabbings at dragstrips than I ever have at a bar. Y'all Country Club racers must not be old enough to remember when drag racing was a little less civilized.

It's voting demographics they're after, they're stuffing the ballot box via the boarder.
