I find this thread very interesting.
A long, long time ago, just previous to when Nitromater became a pay-for-access site to eliminate the anonymous posting, I once posted under a nomdeplume on the politics board, starting a "What If" thread about what would happen if Evan Knoll (who at the time was seemingly even sponsoring janitorial staff at the track) were to pull out of drag racing--what would happen to race teams that were dependent on his dollars; as well as NHRA who had become dependent on his sponsoring of races.
Once again, at the time, Evan Knoll was a friend of many on this site. Or seemingly, he surely had his fanny kissed and polished as if it was the Keeling & Clayton top fueler after throwing BBQ's free of charge to all at the races almost as quickly as he posted barely decipherable posts that were seemingly wanting praise for his actions, as well as promoting the fact that he just bought a new G5 jet.
In fact, there is at least one person I know of here on this particular thread that attacked me for that question and has now magically "flipped" like a Super Bowl coin. He attacked me for my belief at that time that Evan Knoll was a fraud just like many con artists that have gotten involved in Drag Racing over the years--the Bill Chapman's; the Morrocco's, the Ted Combis', the John Consiogli (sp)(see JCIT) etc. and left a ton of unpaid parts bills in their wake. We've seen them come and go. Its a long list of people that would go to any length to feed the Drag Racing Monkey.
If someone knows how to get to the archives from around the 2004-2006 area, right before the Nitromater moderators and managers; Jim Jannard, etc, changed the site in an effort to lessen the anonymous posts (which was actually a good thing IMHO) you'll see the hypocrite(s) in action--how they felt then and how they feel today. One of them on this very thread. You know who you are. You should come clean.
