Sponsorship Advice

[Marty Hujda351]

Drooze....Don't shoot the messenger but what ever kind of meth or cocaine your on tonight you might want to consider asking who ever sold it to give you your money back because you truly sound clueless and those drugs are just making your condition even worse. It's my guess this whole thing is a farse & you don't even own a drag pack car much less have ever been to a dragstrip or ever raced in Stock/SS.Do us all a favor & go crawl under a rock some where there is no internet service.

Thank you very much for the kind words about my kids 76 Dodge Wagon! By the way at 19 years old he won one Divisional Races and Runner Up another one in 2009.! He also finished in the top 4 in Division 7 in a $5,000 dollar car built and raced on his bracket winnings! Not many of us can afford a $100,000. race car but that does not mean we can't race and win. Any monkey can go out and buy an expensive race car and hire a driver, but what sort of satisfaction does that give anybody? Build it, Drive it, Win with it yourself and then maybe you will get the respect you seem to think you merit!!How about one more wager that you will never show up to HONOR? My kid will bracket race you in his no name 76 Dodge against you personally in your Big Buck Hero car and loser donates $1,000. to American Red Cross...We could probably do that in a time trial at Pomona or Phoenix. Like the old country song says: A Little less talk........and a Lot more action.

Well the 76 wagon comment wasnt directed at you, didn know you had one......I tried to think of a Dodge Aspen Wagon Circa 1976 that was a car that didnt get made as not to offend....but since I wasnt sure they didnt make something of the like, I figured that would offend the least people out there.....But I struck the Aspen or Volare part since, I wasnt sure.

But leave it to you to think it was directed at you. Looks like youll put yourself in the line of "fire" as it were no matter what it takes in regards to anything I post.

Ive already said Im a **** driver, what EXACTLY are we betting on ? Who wins and dosent red ?, that dosent seem fair for your side, who has the best RT ? Who dosent break out, or in a staggered to see who breaks first ? who drops out of the elims first, WHAT EXACTLY is the Bet ? I need to know exactly what I am betting on.

"How about one more wager that you will never show up to HONOR? My kid will bracket race you in his no name 76 Dodge against you personally in your Big Buck Hero car and loser donates $1,000. to American Red Cross..." Is clear in some points and Im guessing coming from you intentionally misleading and vauge.

Well have to hammer out exactly what we are betting on, and where, Gainesville may be better timing wise. Im have no doubt we can work something out, Im flexible.

The stakes are good, and the cause good, Im game $1000 seems fair to me, Just have a $1000 Bank Check on hand and an envelope, that way the winner can take the check and mail it themselves , make it out to American Red Cross. The winner can then decide what to do with the check they still hold, either donate it as well or get it cancelled at the bank (I think they charge $25 here to do that on a cashiers check) I have the 1000 sitting on my desk and will go get a bank check today if we come to agreeable terms.

In as much as my "Honor" goes thats something you

a)Have no idea of , I keep commitments I make even at my own expense and if they negativley affect me, because my word is as solid as it gets and the only thing I can call my own beyond infuence or control

b)From you prior intentionally misleading posts is clear something you dont have to worry about yourself.

I damm near forgot, the first pic was taken just for you.....I had to be reminded, the second is to clear any questions you may have on the ability to backup the bet that you "Claim" will never be honored. We couldnt figure out if after that last post on the above thread if you went on vacation, were spending time with the family, went to jail, went on a drinking binge, didnt much matter we just hadnt seen any posts from you worthy of the pic....so here it is.......a joint effort I assure you.

But John, why think small ? I mean if this is just your way of puffing up YOUR chest and this that and the other, I would suggest you think BIGGER, You left TOO many chips on the table for me not to pick up.

How about this for size, we let ANYONE Join in this "Bracket" event, everyone puts in the $1000 ALL to be donated to the American Red Cross, WINNER Picks the Directed Donation fun it goes to in the Red Cross. If I want it as the winner to go for the "Haitian Earthquake Fund" thats good, if you win and want it to go to the "Stop Sexual Cruelty Charges for Livestock" then it goes there, WHOEVER the Winner is they get THEIR choice instead of seeing the money just hit the General Fund, BUT it goes THROUGH the Red Cross.The winners Returned their $1000 entry and can do with it as they wish. The remaining sum in donated IN ITS ENTIRETY to the ARC. If we even get 1 or 2 other entrants it will make for more money for a worth cause, and if everyone is so certain of a win, then they will get their funds back to do with as they wish, but at the same time they will be the person that gets to direct the funds for the usage of the ARC as they see fit....

I even know a track in Texas that would probabbly be willing to host the event and get it some press. Should help bring more people to the event and racers. Ive got a call into them now, the owner wont be in till later or tommorow.

Unless, and just because the only thing you thought of was a way to pick it up and make it all about you, and your "Triumph" so you could really puff your chest a little bigger for you and the people you think look up to you.......and really didnt care for the charity aspect, but this approach should correct any issues with that.

Think BIGGER John....thinking small "is so last year" ..... keep up if you can.

Im even willing if we can find an agreeable and trustworth party to have them hold the funds NOW so any bull**** you may want to sling about me not "Honoring" my commitments looses the stink you seem to try to put on everything.

Put your money where your mouth is is the quote I seem to hear here a lot. Ill do it today....if we can agree on a venune and form for the "event"

Allthough I don't agree with a public questioning of someones honor or word, I have to tell you Drooze. Thats what you get when you shoot your mouth off so much. I think all of us know you didn't mean to say that his son couldn't get a sponsor, but thats what you did say. It applied directly to him and his son's car. Just like you saying you can build a car that runs a few seconds under the index for $15,000 or whatever it was, when people have been trying for years and spent 5 times that just to run 1 second under. Or saying that you don't know how to deal with all these sponsors throwing themselves at you, when some people are just looking to get thier entries and fuel bill paid for. The more you talk the more you offend people. So Once again, Pick one or a couple of those people who have been PMing you and follow what they say. Race a year or two and earn the right to shoot your mouth off. Just buying a new car and knowing a formor world champ doesn't mean youve earned anything.

Did you read that slow enough to understand?

"but I wanted to build a Honday 6 cylinder 250 next, It just itll take me 2 years to cast the motor parts and put it together."

{smile}

[Chris "drooze" Wertman]

Yeah the RC166 makes me smile too...Sorry Honday is a term we use as a joke of the Modern take off stuff as most of the newer parts are made in Korea.....you might not be part of that crowd, sorry to confuse.

Nothing, and I mean NOTHING like the sound of one taching 14k past you....my buddy helped with the build on another one of the RC166 replicas but Regers is the nicest and most correct, http://www.cbxclub.com/reger.html
Duane still has the cores used for sandcasting (the original was as well) but dosent have the crank billets anymore , the cores are mine for the asking, But and honest 1 day a week itd take 2 years to build I figure.

In contrast my OSSA Monocoque took a month to build but I had the forks, and engine.....so....it was still equally odd.

Oppppssss....sorry no bike talk.......

Judging by the picture,the apple hasn't fallen too far from the tree.
