    Am I missing the point of an entry-level, low-budget class? We can run 'built' engines with expensive after-market ECM's and fancy coil-overs that are $1000.00 per corner. But are ILLEGAL if we remove the heater-core or washer-bottle. HOW DID THIS CLASS GET THIS POINT????

    I think that ALL IT's should run POG that you can get at 7-11, Citgo, Shell, etc.....
    And if your engine won't/can't run on it, then move to Prodution where that engine belongs.

    Sorry if I offened anyone, but there are plenty of us that are on a very limited buget.

    In the immortal words of Pogo 'We have met the enemy......and he is US!!!!!'

    In a very general sense, not aimed and any body at all!!!!

    I appreciate all of the feedback I've received on this topic. Please know that I reviewed and considered each of your comments and decided that I would like to get the POG concept up and running in Improved Touring.



    Is there an administrator or moderator that I can talk with about starting a new post/topic that could be "stickied" to the top where we can keep track of those interested in participating in the gentleman's agreement?


    Once I get a thread started where we can keep track of the info, I will take requests for stickers. If time and budget allows, I'll have some awesome POG t-shirts to be handed out to POG class winners at ARRC. This will all be coming out of my pocket too (no corporate sponsorships from Texaco!)

    Thanks for the support and for the opinions, but come on... no once has even called me an *** hole yet!

    That's because no one has confused you with that other Jeff yet

    If you start a new topic, one of the many moderators here can make it a sticky.
