[QUOTE=Indyracer;
And by the way - I'm sure virtually everyone on this site, including of course you, is better than me. Some people come to learn, some come to brag. I am one. You are the other.[/QUOTE] Well, Indyracer, you're right about something anyway! Mark's not braging he's making statements about his accomplishments. Take his advice and stop embarassing yourself. You would be wise to take your storebought dragster chassis, put your storebought RMS motor in it and go race with your buddies somewhere, stop on the way home, have a few beers and brag about how fast you went today.

And for what it's worth, I drive a door car. I do my own wrenching. And 100% of everything on my car has been done by myself. I run S/Pro brackets and S/Gas. And I'm a lot closer to Schumacher's ET than I am to Mark's. But who cares? Not me. Am I seasoned ("old")? Nope. I'm not bragging about me. But you grumpy old slow guys keep bringing it up. If I wanted to drive a 14 second car I'd go pull 6 plug wires. LOL. See how fun this can be? I love it when you guys gang up on someone. I have big shoulders. Bring it on.

Sometime you should try and make a 20 second car into a 14 second car using the stock topend of the engine. There's more personal satisfaction there than just buying and bolting on parts.

I'm sure you're right. Just look at all the guys running V/S Stock eliminator. Maybe I should build a V/S car so there's one East of the Rockies to match the one that's West of them. At least I could brag about all my Wally's, right? Show up at any Regional or National event running Class eliminations and take home a Wally. You should try to make a 9 second car run 7.90's NA without changing the motor. More personal satisfaction there than running a class no one else on the planet runs, and no one wants to watch. I hope you're enjoying this as much as me. ![]() |

[QUOTE=Indyracer;159015]Wow! Another sophomoric attempt to belittle me.
Well kid you got me there! You're right, I'm just too dumb and too old to argue with you and I can't defend myself without "bragging". One thing that I've learned in my old age is "don't try and teach a pig to whistle". "It will just aggrevate me and upset the pig". Good luck with you're "racing" career!

"Broad shoulders holding up a pinhead". That's very funny Ed.
Mr. Indy-noname, you know you're a real ***** don't you? I tried so hard to keep out of this mud slinging, but I can't keep my mouth shut any longer. Mr Indy-noname, tell us of your accomplishments please, we would like to hear of them instead of your just taking pot shots at us. Obvously you "don't get it" about seeing that potential in a slow car and trying to squeez all you can out of it within a structured set of peramiters rather than an "anything goes" type of format.
