D Algozine Posted November 25, 2009 Share Posted November 25, 2009 From the outside looking, this forum hurts your series more than it helps it. I am sure you already know that and/or most of you don't care but the image you project should be important to you if you want the class to grow. Most of the bickering could easily be kept to emails and remain invisible to AI hopefuls. Steve Some see bickering...... I see passion......................well, most of the time.

brucebyerly Posted November 25, 2009 Share Posted November 25, 2009 I race a Factory Five in the FFC/FFR class, so I guess my vote really doesn't count. ... I also think the pull off front ends are similarly asenine. ...Finally, I believe the powers that be should fully ignore all of my comments from the decision because I do not race an AI car. I also believe, respectfully, that you should virtually ignore anyone elses comments that do not regularly field a car, or that do not have a reasonable plan to regularly field a car (my heart really goes out to the poor sap that is assembling the turbo-4 car - give that guy some slack). ....-Scott Come on dude. It's "asinine" and "condemn." I thought every good attorney had a GED Take your own advice and get back to the FF forum. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

King Matt Posted November 25, 2009 Share Posted November 25, 2009 Every class in racing has this kind of thing going on. Anybody who would be turned off by internet BS doesn't have what it takes to be a racer and if it keeps them from showing up, it's no great loss. Get off your ass and come to the track and see what it's really like, then make a decision. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MikeP-99Z Posted November 25, 2009 Share Posted November 25, 2009 The AI website has some issues which are scheduled to be fixed in 2010. Profile updates/photos need to be manually input by JWL at the moment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigKeyserSoze Posted November 25, 2009 Share Posted November 25, 2009 Ha, Pat and Bruce chiming in. With the whips you two boys bring to the track, you'd both be better off racing 1978 Plymouth Volares. Truth be told, if I had caged and run a bone stock Volare in AI Florida this year I'd be the champ with all the DNS and DNF's you boys posted. All the rule changes in the world wouldn't help. -Scott Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rules? My guess is the turkey killed the AI board and they slept through all the holiday rules meetings. Dave, yep, it's passion for this sport. Sadly, it's starting to turn into disappointment....at least for me. BTW, Mike, check your PM's on the TX board after lunch. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigKeyserSoze Posted December 1, 2009 Share Posted December 1, 2009 Pink Pantes chiming in, too. Come on, Jim. I could beat those two clownz with a Volare, fully equipped with a slant-6, at that. The Jack? Nooo. Not tonight. Jim Beam my friend. But, they do all start to blend together when you have enough! -Scott Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B-MAC Posted December 31, 2009 Share Posted December 31, 2009 Uh, both Road Atlanta, Road America (my average lap speed 102 MPH with the non-turbo car), Watkins Glen, are all better because there are not nearly as many liberal hippies like in California. Pelosi? Really? Is that the best you can do you bunch of left-coast-left-wing-gay-pride-tree-huggers? I can do this all day but my fingers would hurt from all the typing. What are you guys going to do next out there? Outlaw Plasma TV's? Oh yeah, I guess you are..... In 2009, the AI "Left-coast-left-wing-gay-pride-tree-huggers" Division produced the two fastest American Iron racers in the nation, also.

Holster Maker Posted January 1, 2010 Share Posted January 1, 2010 I agree B-Mac, everybody thinks all us cali people are like that. I use to like that a-hole a little, not now with that kind of attitude. Little he knows about us hillbillies. Griz aren't you some kind of director or something? Very LOW on my pole.
