IMDRA>>>>>>>>>> IS ALL ABOUT T

This is some of the reason why:

MUST READ RC DRAG RACERS

PLEASE!!!!!

First off, we racers in Chicago and the Midwest were trying to get some information out to the public about what we were doing in drag racing in the Midwest. So, we took time to post a schedule on a web forum and needless to say it got pulled. Due to the supposable fact that someone else had prior arrangements with IMDRA this year. Not to say they will have the same next year. If I am right my last e-mail reads that they are wanting to run with a better organization the following year. (HINT HINT) So, they pulled our flyer off the site to somehow try to keep peace. What is the reason for peace when we are all trying to help the sport out in the same way? Also, our flyer got pulled off IMDRA as well. Tell me if this makes sense?

IMDRA is not trying to help this sport grow in anyway. It is all about what they have and who is paying for what. "This is a quote" They want to know how much we are gonna pay meaning Midwest RC Drag Racing Series/Chicago racers to be able to post our race events on their sites" it is not like we are trying to sell something we are only trying to get the word out about Midwest/Chicago racing, this is what we have been fighting for, for so long. Now that we are where we are now this is all Bull Sh!!.

This is another reason why the help from many Chicago racers as well as big name Midwest racers have come together to help form the Midwest RC Drag Racing Series. There is alot of other reasons why RODS/IMDRA wanted nothing to do with 10th scale rc street drag racing.or other racing here. I could go into more about details of the reason why IMDRA and RODS wanted no part in us or four wheel sedans/street cars but I won't.

But boardmembers here in Chicago and the Midwest felt strongly about a street class. And did the rule book. A week later RODS adopted/stoled this class and so on, and posted it on their web site that they would now adopt a street class after the Midwest asked for two year no go. but after we addressed it in the rule book. They were game, For proof all you have to do is, look at the Midwest rule book, Whenit was posted and then look at RODS rule book for street class and see when they posted theirs.

Now that RODS is slowly going under,,, Or already has. No forum done!!!! Over with..... Which I have known about for the last few weeks, but why should I keep things quiet? If the RC drag racing industry doesn't want to help itself, then let them be. This is part of the reason. I haven't been able to enjoy the sport me and my little girl love. As well as the rest of the family. I have been so caught up in what everybody else wants not realizing haters kill the mood (Chicago slang not saying it is coming from Chicago figure of speech). Now that RC drags is back online. I truly feel that the web-site will hold no punches and feelings, and what people have to say will be known!!!!!!!! If not call them bitchezzzzzzz!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Someone that don't speak up for how they feel about things... That is how we do it in Chicago and the Midwest. Sorry for alittle slang. But when people learn how to keep it real I will do the same instead of slang lol.

Now the new fight seems to be about the quarter scale cars. Cars that IMDRA wanted nothing to do with. IMDRA claims they have been a part of quarter scale for the last 2-3 years. From what I hear from my last e-mail/pm talk in SoCal...... I heard otherwise from a guy. I heard the same thing at a Midwest/Lynwood event last year, from a guy running a quarter scale car. That IMDRA wanted nothing to do with quarter scales last year. Now IMDRA is all about quarter scale cars. If they would have been on the same page 3-4 years ago I would not even be writing this post. IMDRA

So you cannot hate on the quarter scale guys if they want to get their name up on IMDRA for the 2008 year. Then drop IMDRA to go elsewhere, not saying they will but why would you stick around to an organization that wanted nothing to do with you in the first place meaning IMDRA. I know alot of great guys in quarter scale you guys are awesome and it is nice to talk with you guys on the phone and in person!!! But I know in the long run you guys will go where you are appreciated. You know your welcome here in the Midwest.

Sorry guys I've had enough with all the politics and sick of keeping my mouth shut on alot of different things. I was raised better than this and that was to fight and speak what I believe in. I just think it is time for everyone to see what the hell is really going on in this sport. The reason why we are not as a big as oval track/ dirt racing/ stadium trucks is because alot of egos are way too big,,,, and we cannot come together as one. Somebody somewhere has to put these people back in line or get them back in love with the true sport of RC drag racing. (Love of RC Drag Racing) When and how is up to the person. Find Yourself.

I don't want to say who this is but this goes to show how a real RC drag racer goes about life.
I was in Wisconsin last year with a well known RC drag racer and he was putting down some crazy numbers!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! He was trying to back up a 1.52 or a 1.49 not sure which one, and in the middle of this he was trying to set up his car I asked this person for advice and he was so free and clear to give me his time, to help out a younger and newer racer in the sport. Instead of worrying about setting a new world record in funny cars. This is a true racer to the sport in my book. I am sure he knows who he is and I thank him for the time he took to help me instead of what he had going on. That's the reality of fun and helping your fellow racers to overcome all odds.

The Midwest has never, not once ever let anyone NOT post information about an upcoming schedule for the following year and never will. I am sure if not me some other racers would love to be informed about an event they could possibly attend that could have been going on anywhere in the United States and if we did not let this happen we here in the Midwest RC Drag Racing Series would be the same as other organizations, not wanting to strive to become a better drag racing club/organization. Sorry,,, you to "Dale" in Canada. You guys are awesome cannot wait to run with you this May. I have the hotel lined up as well as the ride from the airport. Sorry guys, that's the Northwest brother track to the Midwest RC Drag Racing Series in Canada. They are great guys!!!!!

We are all here to make the drag racing world a better place to run at than it has been in the past. This is why we find Big Squid a very important part of Midwest drag racing, because the all around view is about RC racing in general. Not meaning one type from another. Big Squid RC gets an all around view of both sides of the field. And is all about both worlds or should I say 3 different worlds. Not only that but he (Brian) is a great guy. A big part in what the Midwest Rc Drag Racing Series is trying to become.

Now, tell me if I am wrong, but I personally took it as a slap in the face!! It obviously shows that we are a threat to the other organizations. Not only with the amount of racers that we have. But also the numbers that all of us are going to strive and pull this year. The Midwest has had numerous of requests to be part of other events. So many people from Rods and from other organizations are wanting to race with us. That has to hold some kind of ground.

The reason that I and other boardmembers, also faithfully believe Midwest Rc die-hard drag racers as well as the 159th street boys, could never catch a break from sanction organizations like IMDRA and RODS. They just didn't like our style and never wanted any part of us guys. Now we have a chance to become so much more, not saying they never had a chance before, it's our Time this year
Race on brothers.
