Anyone ever do it? Down south they try to get you
to run heads up against a Junk box looking mess that will run mid 4;s. Some races for thousands of dollars. I have seen some bracket guys make some money off of them I guess everybody;s getting bored Its fun to watch

Grudge match? Can Ed and I race each other?

Sure, me in my just another white Firebird rolling on Hoosier and you in your Nova on emp-tees.

Deal! We run with doors on the bottom then we run on the top bulb with the diggers... Cmon Ed...les have some fun?

You want to run heads up or dial...no matter I'm gonna bust you up either way.

What ya think?

You guys could probably sell a PPV for this. LOL

First I saw of this was up in the North East 50-60 years ago. Saw many a racer from NY, NJ, come down to DC area and race at what we called overlook (DC, MD, line) more than once saw $10,000 change hands. Sometimes they would race at Capitol or Aquasco drag strips.

Torqin and Ed in a grudge race? I would make a road trip to see that in person.

I would go , sign me up … Vegas Million would be a great place for this...

One time hit then 2 out of 3 ….

The grudge races are great for drawing spectators, especially in this area. Notice I didn't say great "for filling the bleachers". That is because grudge race spectators don't use the bleachers. They stand on the starting line. Funny thing is, they might only see maybe 6 actual "races" for the entire day. The vast majority of time is spent smack talking. That wouldn't be so bad, if they didn't do all that smack talking right there in the staging lanes, holding things up. But I'm sure it is helping the track operators bottom line, so I hope they keep right on doing it.

On test and tune days, a friend of mine and I have our own bracket grudge races, best 3 out of five. Lately, he has been burying me. But it's a blast, it's cheap, and spectators actually seem to like it (weird, I know).

Take care. Tom Worthington

We can run for money? We can run for pride? We can run for cigars? We can make a deal on future posting?

I'm betting Chris would have to drive much further north and east. LOL As a matter of fact I saw a thread on here about directions to Numidia.

Me going to Numidia is like Ed going to Baytown Texas...isn't me traveling to Ohio from Texas fair enough?

I will be fair...best 3 out of 5? Ed?

Hey I don't disagree.

I think Ed has me blocked...he has yet to respond...
