Default Re: Hope I do not regret this post and I hope it is taken as just an honest question.

"BUT you were talking about something to hurt other competitors ? How ? Is it something that you are doing they cant ? If they can too then how is it hurting them ?"
You answered the number one question – it is OK with you

NO I said it MAY be, your question was so wholly Vauge in its origin, I provided examples of what may or may not be OK, with me. I also went on to say. I had to make assumptions on what "RULE" you were talking or making inferrence to, only later did I realize you were specifically targeting the DP and CJ again....if that is in fact true and Im still not sure thats what you were talking about.

You cant Claim I answered, or gather from that that anything was Ok with me, because I wasnt sure what the hell EXACTLY was being asked, I was talking in generalities.

What I went on to say was.

"I cant imagine there is something "shady" or "underhanded" , but maybe Im wrong, if there was something that qualified as such , say an accidental change that made a whole bunch of peoples cars "technically illegal" and you went out just to get them DQ'd to move up the ladder and were able to. Then yeah Id say wrong is wrong, even though its "technically" right"

“How?” Come on - you are a smart guy - you know how

If you ARE talking about the new Combos, then no I dont see them as unfair, I see them as fast, but they are no more likley to win an eliminator than a slow combo, maybe thats my nievety in Class Racing. I dont see a heads up run often deciding the outcome of an eliminator.

I also dont see being MORE competitive than the next guy as HURTING Competiton, I see it as the OPPOSITE, I see it DRIVING Competiton, simple and matter of FACT, for you ? Maybe not, but for others ? with both the Index changes and the DP and CJ's . My BET is you are going to see a WHOLE LOT Of FAST as HELL AA and A cars WHEN they need to be. Does that mean by laying LOW they have been hurting competion ? The pendulum swings both ways.

What you would say is because someone can be MORE competitive than you, (or at least that SEEMS to be your perception just by being faster) then it would seem, to me at least, because someone is for the moment more competitive than another that somehow HURTS their competitors ? I doubt it, instead I think you will see them become faster and more competitive than previously IF they have a DESIRE to.

Thats like saying, well he runs faster because he has Nike's and I only have Chuck Taylor All Stars....then someone who runs faster barefoot comes along and throws that all out of wack and then what ? Hes hurting competiton because hes not wearing shoes ? (and its happened in Maraton running)

“If they can too then how is it hurting them ?” I guess the key words here are "they can too"

Correct, I think if in my example they choose not to with say Titanium springs, then sorry if I am more competitive because I choose to run them and take the risks of running them, then why shouldnt I benefit from running them ? Just because others choose not too?

I think the phrase here that applies is "if you can't take the heat - get out of the kitchen" or maybe a better one is "put up or shut up"

I so completley dont understand the context pr direction of this the only thing I can say is.....I completly dont understand the context or direction of this


I dont , and it wasnt my intent to flame or slam you if I did Im sorry I am trying to carry on an accurate and correct dialogue.

Cheers

Chris
