Re: Drooze
Were good, still having fun, havent had much testing (5 passes) under the car total, same tune that ran 10.87 yesterday did 11.6 today,,tune isnt the issue, amps and EMI are....those are on me, weve got solutions in play for both.
I dont see a turd I see a Drag Pak I built with my own hands, it will get to the low 10s and then into the 9s those arent questions in our mind, 1 issue at a time we need to resolve and well get there, you get there by doing it thinking about it, were "doing it" is it perfect no, is it a "turd" far from it,that would seem like a comment from the "Penut Gallery" and nothing more. Some people know, some pretend to know what is actually going on with a situation, we actually know, you are pretending. Simple...you have speculation and theory, nothing more, no actual knowledge of anything really going on, that is a fact, you can purport to, but people here in general know how to smell BS when they hear it. Im not sure if its jealousy, paranoia, just being a general ballbreaker or what the issues is...no matter we are here TRYING, to succeed you need to try , to try and fail is better than to try to downtalk someone else from an armchair, Were happy, our sponsors are happy, are we jumping for joy no, but we are learning and having fun, what else is there to life ? Just my 2 cents.... Quote:

Rich seems to break my balls at every corner, calling the car a turd was "uncalled for" I dont know what his issue is, the only thing I can muster is hes another one of the people.....well, I really have no idea, Ive tried to be as nice as possible, that over at this point, now it simply goes to ignore mode. You might be jealous if you were a V/SA car But speed wasnt what I was talkling about, rather the fact we did it, or the fact that people like yourself wish us well, or maybe hes jealous of my Hat ? I really have no clue..... |

Just so you know Chis.....I am no armchair racer..... I've raced for 40 plus years on and off........built engines.....raced a few cars...won a few races.....and helped others......You don;t need to lecture me about what it takes to race.....I do and have for years and years and on a blue collar budget........ If you had not written so many posts there wouldn't be anything for me to say other than a new guy looks like he's having trouble sorting out a new car...... The Turd comment was made strictly in fun......sorry if it struck a nerve....I'll leave you to chase it on your own.......

That was 11 runs ago, And look where I wound up. My car was a turd 10 runs ago. What a difference 10 runs can make. Nitro Joe is going to have to update his top guns. LOL And you only have 5 on it so far.

Re: Drooze
Chris and Dave: Half-dozen passes, brand new racecar, a few bugs.....most EVERYONE goes thru this....keep plugging, get the seat time, tomorrow's another day....things will come together. There's a helluva lot more people here that want you to succeed, rather than to fail, you both know that.... WJ

(and really cool I didnt do something (again) that got a :"HEY What are you doing" last one of those was about 4 years ago...lol) Thanks WJ were gonna keep on plugging going to SGMP after for some real , wrung out testing........and its on the way to Gainesville.
