That's the thing about you Ed, you can't seem to grasp success can come from dedication and hard work. In your world, consistently very low reaction times mean the driver cheats. And consistently quick ET's mean the engine builder cheats. That's your story Ed, everyone who is good, fast, or wins much is cheating.

Well Ed, are you going to call Bobby DeArmond and Gary McGlasson cheaters? Because they aren't far behind the Sorensons, if they are even behind them.

Here's the deal, the Sorensons have been flogging the exact same combination for years. Same as Bobby and Gary. They've got more time and effort invested in those two cars than you have in your life. It's sort of like the guys you think are cheating because they have real low reaction times and win races. They make more passes in a year than you make in a decade.

That's enough time wasted on you, Ed, I have better things to do. Joe and Hal have put us another tenth behind. So I need to get to work. See, that's how you figure out how to go fast, you work. They have the same combination we do, and they're faster. But I'm not going to accuse them of cheating. Instead, I'm going to go to work and try to figure out what they know that I don't, it's evidently a fair amount. But what the Hell, they only have a 15-20 year head start on us, like Bobby and Gary do. They know what doesn't work, they've had time to figure it out, and we haven't yet.

You cry and whine all you want Ed, the rest of us will go get to work and try to catch them the honest way, with hard work and dedication. Meanwhile you can accuse people of cheating, and see if you can get someone to listen. Most of the rest of us know better.
