The context here is not.

Only by your interpretation. You took it as "smug", that does not mean it was "smug".

First off, I said it once, and then it was quoted by about a 1/2 dozen people. In some cases, I responded to it in the manner it was quoted.

Second, it's a fact, and context has little relevance on a stated fact.

With regards to your "position", and this thread, about A and AA cars, DeArmond and McGlasson have been working on their combination, for about 25 years. The same applies to the Sorenson Brothers. It also applies, at least to a certain extent, to Steve Ficacci (I'm not sure how long Steve has been thrashing that particular combination, but few people in Stock work harder to make their car fast). I don't think they have a whole lot of room to "work harder" or "work more" on their combination. There are plenty of others who've been thrashing that long. Arnold Greene for example. Steve Calabro and Joe Fasano. Barry Parker. If you really want to talk about someone being "smug", you should look in the mirror when you tell a lot of the people who will be racing against the new cars to "work harder". Considering some of them have been working harder for 2-4 decades.

Bruce Noland and I have been going at it hammer and tong. When we agree on something, it's probably a good sign something is up.
