Hey Rich...

I could point that since you pulled a quote from Drooze's post that might be the reason he thought your comments were directed at him....But never mind. Now that I know we are about the same age, I can look past all of that.

Hey I am 64, with 65 coming along in a couple of months... I only had one child, a son Chris (Drooze" to you.) We figured out what caused it to happen and quit that immediately. And only having one child, has allowed me to be a young 64/65. In fact I was 62 before I ever had to spend a night in a hospital, and was on absolutely no medications. Then came lung cancer, but as my doctor tells me, I am atypical, responding well to the chemo and a great attitude. I cant do much about how I respond to the chemo, but as for the attitude, the alternative would be to give up , or live....And I chooose to live it up..

Don't worry, be happy..

And to Greg Hill, Drooze had a 10.68 run when he was bouncing off the rev limiters that we had set for the dyno and not removed, in 1rst and second gear, so I guess you might say he made a pretty good pass there. I expect it would have been very low 10s with a higher rev limit.

My best in the car was in the low 11's as I was still getting used to the car. And had we not blown up coming out of the burn out, I imagine we might have gotten back into the 10's.... And with a 5.7 we will be in the low 10's or better...

Do we have good advice to give? Knowing what not to do, is as valuable as knowing what to do. But we also know a lot of what does work. Yes, we have good advice to offer, and those who actually have a DP and/or 5.7 or 6.1 know they can, do call us for for any kind of help we can offer. Working with a brand new car. A brand new class. A brand new engine combo, is not a simple thing. But just because it isn't the easy road, doesn't mean we won't take it.

To say that someone is "full of crap" seems a little harsh.And when you don't know the facts it is just plain wrong, and frankly it seems a bit nasty.. But that is OK. Just keep making your personal attacks and showing people what kind of guy you are. We really don't care.
