I don't even know why I'm doing this but here goes,

Sportsman racing is not Pro Stock. Things work a little different here. People buy products from sponsors who fund cars that win and do it with class, Not allready well funded cars that have zero clue what they are doing pushing products on people. I can't ever rememeber Dan Fletcher saying, make sure you buy Vavloine and K&N and do it through Summit. We buy his prducts because he is a class act and is just plain good at driving. Whenever a sponsor drops him so that they can fund thier pro stock team, we drop them and buy from their competitor. I use Dan as an example, but their are many people we do the same thing for.

Your driver clearly doesn't know crap about sportsman racing either or you would have all these silly little questions answered for you allready. If that is the case then I would say that you could learn to drive just as good as him in the same amount of time. But then you wouldn't have all these sponsors throwing themselves at a name on the side of the car, so I would stick with your plan. I would also lock in that sponsor for as long as you possibly could, but what do I know, I'm to stupid to spend 4 hours on the phone looking for one. I'm also not a former pro stock world champ, so for me to get a sponsor requires winning.

I never said nor ment to imply that you should bow down to me because I've been doing this longer than you. It was a statement to prove a point that YOU POST WAY TO MUCH. I just clicked that little search button on the top of the page and pluged in Trans Cooler.. What do you know. 6 Threads totally devoted to what cooler is recomended for what application. Why revive one of those threads when you can wright a paragraph asking the same question... right?

Maybee its because I'm a stupid uneducated cajun boy, but where I come from, you don't ask people with a wealth of knowledge to just give you info without feeling as though you have earned it in some way. That seems to be a problem with people my age more than just you, so I guess I can't blame you for that. I also don't know why people would just give you hard earned info that will help you compete against them other than the fact that the majority of sportsman racers are just plain nice. Or it could be their bleeding harts feeling sorry for you. I think you will have a little bit of a harder time getting those PM's about how to cut a light and drive the stripe.

Once again, I would find someone who knows what they are doing, earn thier trust, and learn all you can from them. I am forever in debt to the people who taught me what I know, and thats what this CLASS racing is all about. Not bringing in a brand new car with a major sponsor and asking everyone in an open forum to tell you how to race it. I guess we think a little different though?

BTW, the only people who will be buying your ecu program are people building new cars, unless it will make it more easy to predict a dial, or picks up a few hundreds of et. If you have ever been to a race you will see that their are not as many new cars or FI cars as you may think. So make sure you lock that sponsor in.
