Default PROFWD GRUDGE Fall NATS Rado,Gardella, Bergenholtz, ??????

Looks like there some major drama going on between Rado and Gardella. Obviously, there has been some controversy ever since Rado supposedly hit that 6 sec run in Pomona. Gardella and Rado have been jabbing at each other since then considering Gardella's time's were legit.

I guess on facebook this morning, Gardella said Rado can't go against him unless he goes against Bergenholtz first. Sooooooooooooooooo since Gardella is being a troublemaker, he has forced me to go into the garage and see if I could muster up a couple of motors to go against Rado.

I guess this is like boxing. Considering Gardella (Rocky Balboa) is the reighning champ, Rado (Russian Ivan Drago) has got to go against a previous champ before he can go against the Heavy Weight champion Gardella.
Sorta like when the Russian (Rado) went against Apollo Creed (Bergenholtz) before having to against Rocky (Gardella) himself.

Rocky is Italian and so is Gardella so its the perfect analogy.

I cannot confirm yet if we are going to go BUT you better believe I'm going to try to make this happen. We'll see. I'll be the first to tell you that I miss PROFWD drag racing bad. Englishtown is a bomb track especially in the Fall. Noone can prep a track like that one. I dunno about going over 210mph but we'll try our damn well hardest to beat Rado or Gardella. It will be a nice reunion fight if this goes down.

Rado and Gardella is going to be talking madddd **** to each other. I'm not gonna put my money on either one of them. It could go either way.

Screw this.

This is Honda-Tech. Pull your goddamned CRX out of storage, and get Gardella to get his Little Red Rollerskate together, and maybe Rado can scrape together enough parts to re create the Ghetto Glider. Let's do this OLD SCHOOL.


Major props if anyone can manage to get all of you old fogeys off your automotive figure skating asses and back where you belong. Laying the smack down 1320 feet at a time.

OOOOO!

I just want to say I got the loaf bread and peanut butter if anyone gets hungry in this bitch. Considering the jabs will not come fast enough, its a dollar a piece and the line starts at the white table with the arrow on it saying "greasy sandwiches and purple soda" on it.

Hope to see this go down. Could there be a 4th PRO car in the mist?

Brokenbolts all I got to say is you better bolt two of those motors together. If you even want to play with the big boys. Rado where do I even start. Can.t wait to see those sub .8 60' that will just make it all thar much more enjoyable. When I see the win light in our lane. Also those 1.xxx lights need a tad bit of work.

Well, let's see if we can get some of the other OG's out too. There's roughly 4 months for people to get their sh*t straight. Maybe we should try and see if we can get some money going on this too. Anyone want to make a side wager?

I cant believe a racer like him and team can look at those slips with that 60' and take those passes seriously, kind of shocking to say the least.

In regards to bringing back the old skool cars, I can say that once you get a taste of the seven's you don't want to drive anything slower. The other PROFWD teams I believe are doing this for sheer exhilaration of speed and backing up the trash talking. Better yet, to remember how good the NHRA Sport Compact days were. I can safely say, Gardella, Rado and us love Sport Compact Drag Racing beyond all recognition, and it will always have that special place in all our hearts. I'm gonna try my best to make it, and I know it will be whole lotta fun!
