| Even if people read the rules, there are so many. contradictions in it that it makes no sense. One part says trucks can use the bed for equipment the. A few sentences later it says you can't. One thing say you can pull panels behind b-pillar, then in a higher class only the ones behind the b-pillar and below the window line. That is just a couple | |

| Just like some people saying that rhino lining is not legal, and I have stated several times show me where it says that in the rules. It just has gotten out of hand and it creating problems in the competition scene. Not saying the other orgs are perfect by any means all have their issues. However I see more USACi shows in the south than any other org. So that is where if someone wants to compete that is their only choice. I mean in DFW there is a local org that does shows, and it also has its issues but people go to compete, because there may not be another show that weekend. | |

YOU AND ME DONT MIX PERIOD YOU DONT LIKE ME I DONT LIKE YOU IDE RATHER PUNCH YOU IN THE MOUTH THAN GIVE YOU A QUARTER TO BUY A SOFT DRINK MAN.
WITH THAT BEING SAID, AND I FELT THIS WAY LAST YEAR AS WELL YOU HAD A NICE THORUOUGH SMOOTH TRANSITION WHILE IN THE VERIFICATION LANES DIDNT YOU.
I DO NOT HAVE AN ISSUE BEING PROFESSIONAL ABOUT WHAT I DO WHEN IM BEING PAID TO DO SO.
I DID START MY COMMENTS ON THE FACE BOOK PAGE TO TRY AND HELP SOMEONE SO THEY WOULD NOT RUN INTO AN ISSUE AT FINALS, BUT LIKE ALWAYS IT TURNED INTO SOMETHING TOTALLY DIFFERANT THAN THAT DUE TO THE DISLIKE ME AND ALAN HAVE FOR ONE ANOTHER.
ALAN YOU DONT MEAN Dung Pile TO ME AND NEVER WILL. THIS BOTHERS YOU BECAUSE I DONT LIKE YOU WHEN MOST DO ONCE AGAIN I DONT CARE WHAT YOU THINK OR LIKE. See that's were your wrong. I don't dislike you.. I really don't concern myself enough with any single person to worry that much about them. And yeah we normally don't mix well in conversation because you choose to be a dick towards me every opportunity you get. And that's cool. That's who you are. But please. Don't ever assume again that I give a rats ass enough about you to worry about if I like you or not. I have much more going on in my life than to be concerned with jeff Sanford. | |

- NOT TO MENTION THAT IF USACI IS SUCH AN EASY RELAXED ORG TO RUN HOW COME MORE DRAG GUYS DONT COME OVER AND SHOW THAT ITS IN FACT THIS WAY.
THE ONLY GUYS I CAN THINK OF THAT TRIED THIS WAS MURILLO AND HIS CREW, AND THEY DIDNT WIN He didn't know what he was doing. The globe was out in the middle of his floor. Anyway.. what I'm talking about is even though verification is thin at a 1x drag show. Their judges know the rules.. and can answer a rule question without talking it over with another judge..or having to talk to Ralph. And ill gaeantee their finals is much more evenvolved than ours.. I've been to I think 5 drag finals.. there isn't 8 lanes.. there's 2.. and there's 4 Sanmans standing there while you run.. watching.. putting in and removing the sensor.. you can't even open the door or get inside till he's done. This is so like at our finals.. I don't build a enclosure with rubber floor mats or slide a tool box up behind the globe..etc etc.. all stuff that has and can happen.. no one even makes sure the sensor stays in the globe. Someone could pull it out..stuff it high.. then had it back in 2 pieces and say "the sensor fell out when i pulled the globe" and nothing would be said. | |

| I personally think SQ should be pulled from any show the director doesn't know or have the ability to judge properly. Even if that means SQ is only judged at 3x point events and finals. So what. It's best. USACi's SQ turnout blows at local events. Finals isn't bad. I honestly think it is a competitor's search for good and consistant judging. That being said, the 'competitor' only exists if the extraneous income exists to build a SQ car properly. | |

| WELL A CAP BY DEFINITION ISNT A BATTERY
AND BATTS WERE LIKE I SAID ALLOWED TO BE MOVED AS OF LAST YEAR
THE ONLY THING I DIDNT LIKE WHILE READING THE RULES AGAIN FOR THE 10TH TIME IN A DAY WAS
Battery and Alternator may be upgraded, however the battery may not produce more than 14 volts while the engine is not running and the alternator may not produce more than 14.7 volts. The driver or passenger’s seats may not be relocated from the factory mounting location. | |

You just can't charge them higher than 15.5 | |

| I don't believe terminal were counted in measuring them. You would subtract .88 from the 9.4 height then. Other orgs also recognized them as being under 800 also | |

| Jeff is a long time competitor. He knows the rules well and does his best to enforce them. He does it because he WANTS TO. He does not get paid, he does not get rewarded, he does if for love of the sport. He can be rough at times. He and I have had several rough patches over the years. Bottom line, he is stepping up and trying to make it better. I wish we had tweny more like him, then the issues being brought up here would no longer be issues.....
My ten cents.... | |
