and there you go Frank, So again, respect is a two way street, when I get it I’ll give until then you can count on that there will be more of the same in any thread I reply to.

Re: ET with and without wheelie.
 

here's another Frank that you should have addressed...

Again, respect is a two way street, when I get it I'll give!

My silence says I'm watching the Mets game.

Re: ET with and without wheelie.
 

Frank, your silence is deafening! How many times can you watch the METS lose AGAIN?

Still waiting for your reply about your misguided, misdirected message about respect.

Oh here's another Frank, post #26, 13 days ago

and you know what these posts all have in common besides lack of respect towards me?...They replied only to comment about my advice, my experience, NOT to offer theirs's to the OP!

So again, respect is a two way street, when I get it I’ll give until then you can count on that there will be more of the same in any thread I reply to.

Re: ET with and without wheelie.
 

Ed,
It's simple, respect other's opinions and you will be respected. Harsh criticism of others will not garner respect. You even bashed my choice of being a Mets fan.
You seemed to be a very angry man. Be kind.

Re: ET with and without wheelie.
 

Frank, it’s not simple and when you had a chance to call out those that show me/my experience and opinions no respect you Failed.

That said, this is the problem with message boards,YOU attach emotion to others responses, emotion that suits YOUR narrative, YOUR notion and as it concerns me, you couldn’t be more wrong. Not only am I not an angry man, I’m a Mets fan and can guarantee you I’ve been to more games than you this year, last year, 10 years ago, Yada, yada, yada.

As to respect again, you and all reading know where I stand!

Re: ET with and without wheelie.
 

Blah, blah, blah, you can?t deny that you have not earned anyone here's respect. :eek:

But you are a great TROLL and sure have generated a lot of clicks / views. :D

Re: ET with and without wheelie.
 

Says a nobody, a computer programmer who never raced! No one with a clue gives you, your malarkey the time of day. :D

Re: ET with and without wheelie.
 

It is interesting how many time you have post the words "TRUTH and FACTS".

Yet you still have don't understand not racing now, doesn't mean having never raced. But then of course you have your very own definition of what is racing.

Stan

Re: ET with and without wheelie.
 

By anyone’s definition here that actually competes, “racing” ain’t test and tuning anytime no mind 50 years ago for 5 minutes!:rolleyes:

Re: ET with and without wheelie.
 

Stan, great point on the clicks...
I'm beginning to think he is one of Kenny's buddies and just trolling on here to increase traffic... wonder what that is worth $$ wise? Is the $$ or traffic why Kenny is letting so much disrespect be scattered among good people that support the site?

Re: ET with and without wheelie.
 

Bingo!

Re: ET with and without wheelie.
 

More disrespect to me and the OP. 2 more posts commenting about me rather than offering experience or opinion to the OP. Well at least they’re adding to the view count!:D

For your consideration…

Re: ET with and without wheelie.
 

First post in over 3 years., way to go Kelly :D

But Billy, Frank, Mr.Derby City, Stan, Barry and let’s not forget 1700camaro won’t do it!

What does that tell you?;)

Re: ET with and without wheelie.
 

In all of the many years that I have been on forums. I have never blocked anyone, no matter how inaccurate what they are posting is, or how big an AzzHole they are

Re: ET with and without wheelie.
 

Ed have always respected your racing programs. But will let you in on a little secret there are some members on here that have a WHOLE LOT more wally's on their shelves than you do. When they speak I listen...

Re: ET with and without wheelie.
 

Ed, I won?t do what? I have you blocked so I have no idea what you said..��*♂️
Never mind…

Re: ET with and without wheelie.
 

I’m sure but we are more into collecting big checks and it’s a safe bet that we have won a WHOLE LOT more $ in the last 5 years than anyone, everyone posting in this thread and probably this forum!

Re: ET with and without wheelie.
 

The fallacy of the big check is the split
The recent 500K race paid 120K to the winner
Nice hit but not the half a million advertised
Racers in the late rounds split to cover expenses they share the "b\Big Check".

Just Truth & Fact.

The cost to attend these races: entry fees in 1Ks plus travel expenses. MOST entrants don't turn a profit in fact are just contributors having some fun.

As learned fly fishing in the Catskills in the 70s and 80s: 90% of the fish are caught by 10% of the fisherman.

Re: ET with and without wheelie.
 

As some loud mouth, obnoxious, disagreeable, nasty, person likes to post up. WTF does this have to do with the OP's question?

Stan

Re: ET with and without wheelie.
 

1. we don't split

2. my reply was to nickh

3. stanley, ain't ever competed, nor has a drag car, no mind one that can wheelie

4. there hasn't been a reply too the OP's questions about wheelies in 4 days, post #210!:p

that said, 36.424 views on our way to 37,000 views about wheelies! :D

Re: ET with and without wheelie.
 

Exactly after all responses to the OP's questions are done. It seems 1320racer still has diarrhea of the keyboard. He also is reveling in how the click / view count keeps climbing.



Stan

Re: ET with and without wheelie.
 

I wish you kids would quit...

In regards to the original question, I have been working a good bit on my 572 COPO lately. I can tell you for a fact that the only way you will get that car to repeat with a three-speed is to put all of the weight on the rear tire.

Re: ET with and without wheelie.
 

Ed, on the no splitting I don't think I would split either. I know it would not make others happy but just don't think I would split either. Damn the Torpedoes LOL

Re: ET with and without wheelie.
 

nick it doesn't and hasn't, there is video that shows that when Kyle wouldn't split at the Fling $100K. Most everyone that competes at these big $ gambler races just wants to make the split whether that's at 16 or 32 cars.:rolleyes: That ain't us, we'll consider splitting at 4 depending on who the other 3 are but what we are not doing is agreeing that the ultimate winner is going to kick back 60% of the guaranteed money to the winner which is typically the percentage, to the 15 losers.

That's a different issue and not the OP's question.

Re: ET with and without wheelie.
 

It is 100% relevant. In a perfect world, any car would go faster if all four tires were on the ground. That said, when tire size becomes a limiting factor, the wheelie is the only thing allowing the car to move forward.

Re: ET with and without wheelie.
 

Not sure how many on here have encountered Ed on other sites but he seems to think as if he works at the insult factory.Not sure if when he punches his final time clock that he wants to go down as most hated person on the internet or most band. These days it seems as if his car and driver really have it going on. Not sure why anyone wants to be so hated on the internet. Anyway back to he’s comments about which was a whole lot about sixty foot. On one of the other sites from probably 15 years ago and one of my favorite replies was.
Caption at the top of the thread read after he was band from that site.
Where has Ed Bigley gone?
The reply
He’s over at the 60’ nationals
Terry

Re: ET with and without wheelie.
 

Big statement coming from a nobody that ain’t ever done anything on the track. I’m ok with those that “hate” me because they don’t like the truth and the facts, hate me because my opinion doesn’t align with theirs, hate me cause my replies bruised their ego, hate me because I have 2 top tier cars, built and maintain with money not being an issue, hate me for whatever reason makes them feel better.

That said, i don’t post to make friends, have too many now. I post to offer my advice, my 1st hand experience from over 3 decades on the track, logging thousands upon thousands of passes in both a small tire, stock suspension stocker type door car as well a back halved 14” tire Super stock car, foot braked and trans brake launched.

Disagree 100%. Being able to hook was never stated by the OP in his original post nor his 2 follow-up posts.

That said, I've previously stated here, if you can't hook without a big long wheelie, you need to work on your junk.

Re: ET with and without wheelie.
 

This reply is a true testament to your intelligence and experience.

Re: ET with and without wheelie.
 

Gump, you don’t have a clue to my intelligence, experience and abilities! If you can’t get that car to hook without a big wheelie,I can and there are many that can who build, prepare and or drive the FSS cars.

Re: ET with and without wheelie.
 

I really appreciate Ken developing this site for racers of most all NHRA classes and have enjoyed for years, couldn't do without it.

This thread is looking more and more like yellow bullet and I and hopefully most class racers are not interested in going down that path or being insulted by 1320 if we post something that he doesn't agree with.

Fire away,

Jimmy Parker

Re: ET with and without wheelie.
 

Again, the insults go both ways!

Further, I didn’t bring this thread back to the top this morning nor yesterday morning with insults! So it’s apparent that there ARE several class racers, one computer programmer and one former bracket racer that DO want to go down that path!

You see what you want, I’m confident Ken sees the truth.

Re: ET with and without wheelie.
 

Through the years have also seen replies that on the phone or at the track he’s a ok guy but I have no first hand experience of that but I have a lot of friends that are ok guys and probably refer to me the same. Don’t remember any good or great guy but ok guy is even good enough for my crew. That is the only thing I’m going to post from other sites but Ed even you know it’s funny. But I will say I tolerate the Ed on this site a lot more than from other sites.
Terry

Re: ET with and without wheelie.
 

I would like to think that his Internet persona is not actually what he’s like all the time. I think for Ed his favorite internet activity is bait hook cast hurl insult, bite set hook fish on and as long as their biting he’s going to continue fishing.
Terry

Re: ET with and without wheelie.
 

If you deep stage, is the track longer, or shorter?

Re: ET with and without wheelie.
 

It's still 1,320 feet but you're closer to the finish line when deep staged.

Ed,
The clock is ticking on your response.
