Total and complete BULL! My son and I both got more grease under my nails, and shed more blood on my knuckles, hands, elbows, knees and head, than you can imagine. And we didn't just buy a ready to race car. we got a roller with engine front suspension and viper seats, and not much more. We made decisions, matched parts, schemed and dreamed and worked harder than you can imagine for 18 hours a day for a couple of years.
And most of us, and certainly not me need an explanation about setting a national record. We put the (R) on our windshield several times. And we did set the A/SA National record for ET and speed at the end of 2011.
So go peddle your lame and uninformed generalizations, and other BULL somewhere else.
And to those who would criticize me for only being "in the game" a couple years while they have been playing for 25 years.... are you kidding?????
I have a lifetime of auto experience. I have been building and racing, although not NHRA, since I was 10 years old. And rather than you having 25 years of experience, although you may indeed have 25 years of experience complaining, I expect that you have 1 year of experience 25 times when it comes to other things.
If you don't agree with what I say, fine. Just point out where I am wrong. And we can discuss it.
But don't just attack me. It isn't nice.
