I just increased the font size, and changed the color to red. You posted it.

Your missing the point and just want to argue.:confused:

So is a three speed the way it came from Chevy and that's truthful?

Do a search.


Call it begging if you like. I am happy with my COPO.


This is a very sad quote. I wish you all the best in life, but I will never respond to any more of what comes from you. You are a very little man.

Anyone else's head hurt reading this thread or is it just me?

Re: GM Releases 2013 bogus HP ratings at PRI show
 

The word is "you're", not "your".

You came into this thread claiming that the two cars in question had $100K spent on each of them, and were "ground up BIW builds", all of that being done in two weeks.

And you claim others are missing the point and want to argue? :rolleyes:

Cavnazzi's car was tuned by Brian Macy, but Patterson's tune was untouched until I tweaked it a little at the rained out Topeka div race on the way to Indy. A GM rep told them to not go a second under at Indy, which made Connolly very unhappy. They would both go 1+ under, and Parrerson's engine had never been out of the car at that time. Are they way under-rated? Absolutely!

Greg you and Andrew both want a unlevel playing field, that is why you never run your cars all out. If you get HP on your combo you won't have that advantage over slower cars in your class. Your just like everyone else. Get off your high horse. I will play by any rules NHRA puts in place. Because I love to race.

I don't race Stock anymore but it's not the new cars that ruined it for me, it was the heads-up races in eliminations, simply took too much money to try to keep the car fast enopugh to protect your expenses and race for a purse that is less than my local bracket track pays every weekend.

Do you guys EVER see each other at the track????????????? That could get interesting with the attitudes you have on a keyboard.

The "Deal" has been struck by NHRA to get the factories involved, get over it. Want to fix the issue, don't support NHRA events and let them know every week why 200 of you are staying home from their events.

Money is the only pressure NHRA can bend over for. It has always been that way (SFI rules for seatbelts, the old muffler rule, trans shields that "wear out" in 5 years, etc, etc.) and it will always be that way as they need more cash to operate.

It wouldn't surprise me if they drop Stock/Super Stock becasue of the rule enforcement personnel it takes and the constant complaining. Add another 100 Super Class, Top Dragster, Top Sportsman and footbrake racers to a National Event and those spectators won't notice a thing. Sad day if it happens, but in my opinion it is a viable option for them.

I'm with you on that. But since it's winter and theres nothing else to do car wise, this is cheap entertainment. Keep up the good work!

Re: GM Releases 2013 bogus HP ratings at PRI show
 

I started the first FX thread. You and I bumped heads over the course of that entire thread. So, I guess you'll write a letter like Greg suggested.

Funny, I think you are a very little man for what you have done to our category. It's sad that you have to express yourself with factory hot rods to take advantage of fellow racers. You guys are killing an entire category with 1,000+ racers and all you think of is yourselves. Now that is sad!

And there are more than just a dozen of us that feel this way - there are over 1,000 of us but they are smart enough not to come out here and butt heads with you hot dogs.
