NHRA going full Retard

Here's exactly how this went, the history.

They sign the WTO deal with the chinese in Sept, 2001.

2003 the first chinese crankshaft I had seen walked into my shop under the arm of a customer for an engine he wanted built.

By 2008 US is in collapse and Wing Wong Ching Chong cranks and Racing Junk.com have the two biggest displays at PRI.

They kick the can down the road to 2020 with another 20 trillion in debt.

The only reason we made it this far is because they expanded all credit SUBPRIME.... easy money.

Anyone who doesn't know Covid is the chicken coming home to roost unsustainable globalist system, is a child.

Countless long standing companies and organizations will go bankrupt by the time the second wave hits or thereafter. NHRA won't be alone.

Mike, that is not exactly true. In 1994 Bill Clinton forced Congress to give China "Most Favored Trade Status" and that set in motion businesses outsourcing our jobs. With out that none of it would have went to China.
But NHRA does not have much to do with China, they are to blame for much of our Countries problems but most of the NHRA problems are self inflicted and nobody else to blame.

"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.

That's true they've all been communist / globalists for 30 years, look at the graph starting 1994.

Blame your globalist / communist elected officials who offshored US prosperity.

US prosperity is NHRA and local bracket racing prosperity.

US prosperity is prosperity for any hobby or activity, that's just how it works, common sense.

Debt is not prosperity.

Except most all Nitro is from china. I know not what you meant but in that aspect NHRA is tied to China.

Some time ago I was told that NHRA Pro Fuel Teams could only purchase nitro from NHRA "Approved Distributors".

Could that possibly impact on the current price of a single drum of nitro @ $1640?

Does anyone in the US manufacture nitro? Can the Nitro Pro Teams buy outside the NHRA Distribution channel?

From an expense standpoint and the current NHRA Purse structure, nitro classes have become unsustainable. Doug Foley's article in Auto Week may have been optimistic when he predicted that in 2021 there would only be 9 full time Top Fuel NHRA Teams, it's beginning to look like zero (or with luck, Kalitta making singles).

Nitro is $35 to $40 a gallon. 20 to 25 gallons burned warm up, burnout an 1//4 mile lap.

Because Ed didn't see it first It would be an improvement to his so called stable. He will always criticize anyone that doesn't agree with him. I don't know why he is allowed on this board. He's been kicked off of many other boards. He does not contribute.

Now that it is official that NHRA is going to do the Pro racers wonder what they are going to do now?

Our Biden on this board, a senile old man that doesn’t have a clue.

That’s said, I don’t contribute opinion, I state the facts and the truth and that Monza is POS but that’s what you get when you buy when you are clueless and don’t have the coin.

Oh and the NHRA isn’t going out of business anytime soon and certainly ain’t going out of business business because they reduced the payouts to the pros who’s team owners are all multi- millionaires, during the Covid shutdown and restrictions.

Big whoop! Really - you think 30k is a bunch of money? You're the joke around here.

The jokes on you buying this POS

Clearly $30k is a lot of money to you because if you had it, you wouldn’t have bought this junk!

Ed, you have no F'ing clue what kind of money this man has, and it's none of your business! You can't judge a mans bank account by the equipment he races with.
A dumb person goes into debt up to his eyeballs to have the nicest truck, trailer and race car while racing for a $1200 check.
Here's an example of a smart man in my opinion....my father raced out of an OLD toter with a small engine. His race car was very simple, and nothing fancy. YOU would have called him a broke dyck. He could have bought your entire race operation 100 times over and not even known the money was gone. My point here is, you don't really know what people can or cannot afford, nor is it any of your concern!
What should be your concern, is getting that average looking 3/4 ton truck suspension beefed up. I noticed it was drooping like a saturated diaper.

Wrong again, Ed. On all counts.
I've been racing longer than you have and I can almost guarantee you don't have all the resources you claim to have. How come very few people have even heard of you? You only show up on message boards.
Give it up and get a real life.
