I agree that Rich is a drama queen and the show has gone down.

As far as Willie, that's just the way he is. I have listened to his radio show for years and he has settled down a bit. He does know racing - he comes from a racing family and has raced most of his life. He's also built some pretty sick cars over the years.

In other post I have provided negative comentary on Willie "B", but I have to give Willie some props on the show where they peformed the 4 lane drag racing. He seemed a little bit laid back and almost in his element. His role on that episode was entertaining on a professional level.... Hope he can keep up the performance...

My thoughts about my experience with arm drop sent to Rich via e-mail
I have been an event participant at “Pinks all out “held this year at MIR and participated in “Arm Drop Live” held at Maplegrove Raceway. I would like to tell you that those of us participating in your programs appreciate the positive contribution they have made to drag racing and such events have the potential to continue increasing participation at what I call club level drag racing .The bread and butter income producers for most track owners and the part of the sport that receives very little national coverage. Having said that I also realize you need to generate income and produce a show so my comments, I hope, will be regarded as constructive input. We want your programs to continue.

During”Arm Drop Live “ we entered and filed to run a 10.78. We made three passes at 10.77,10.77 and 10.78.Our car was set up to ‘run all” out at those times and we were selected to run in the top 32 in group 3.Our assumption and understanding was that the separation times between entrants selected would be minimal and close so as to provide competitive heads up racing. We do not believe this was in fact, the case ,in any group. We know the spreads in times exceeded several tenths in our group and we were told by participants in the 9 second group the same wide et spreads existed. Was this the reason the decision was made to not post times but only WIN/LOSS? We further observed group 9 participants braking hard before the traps.

In my opinion the only way to be fair and eliminate this type of suspicion is to post the times.

We would appreciate any clarification that you would like to render regarding this issue.
Our entry number was 331 at Maplegrove.

Sincerely

Rich is a bigger joke than before. He is clueless about cars,racing in general..etc.The show SUCKS without Nate Pritchard and his brother!! Speed Sucks in general as well for getting rid of Nate. Willie looks like a drag queen for a mister T movie.. A waste of TIME!!
