Before you try to make *me* a bad guy let me tell you I ran FWD Stockers for 20 years and one of Art's turbo Dodge's for 5 years. Chris (Drooze) may not have gone about this the way you believe he should however we here like him and I personally thinke he is a colorful character. Please enlighten us of *your* accomplishments. Jim

I never even said a word to Art, until he was questioning me. I don't know how i am trying to make him look like a bad guy, nor why you would think I'm going to make you look like a bad guy?

Embarrassing myself? With what, facts?

All I am saying is you come off as confrontational and you seem hell bent to show us that you know much about everything. I've seen this many times here, slow down, gain our trust, then start slamming Drooze. Jim

And all I was saying from the get go was that if you have datalogging capabilities, use them. It's not smart to be making passes in a brand new car without getting data, that's just a fact. Yes, people have done it in the past, and now, but it's not good practice. You can save a lot of money with data these days. Find problems before they turn into larger ones, etc.

I'm not here to prove what I have accomplished and what my knowledge is, I'm just here to slam on Drooze.

[Jim Wahl]

OK, good advice for sure. I think God has had the biggest "slam" on poor 'ol Drooze so far. I still like him and think he is a colorful character. Jim

Is Boosted your first or last name??????????????????????????????????

[Chad Rhodes]

boosted, the fact that you say you are just her to slam on someone, anyone, just proves what a total douchebag you are.

Now now boys play nice.
I've been following Drooze's posts since day 1. I am a fan, I love his stories and his excitement over his new car and I've seen that he's a survivor who's been thru a lot. (I'm looking forward to meeting you and your dad some day soon.)
We all plan & hope for our cars to do well and express ourselves in different ways. It's not bragging, it's hoping out loud. Remember, it's sometimes difficult to get the gist and emotion from a forum post.
This forum would be boring as hell if it wasn't for posts like Drooze's.

Artie & Jim are 2 of the nicest people I've met (in person) racing. I'm proud to have their hand me down Dodge turbo and the benefit of both of their experiences with the car.
... and I'd be happy to listen to any advice Boosted has for turbo cars and data gathering ideas. The internet is a wonderful tool for sharing ideas and experience.
There is so much we can learn from each other... instead of busting on people you've never me.
I lurk and read and learn.... because some of you ss/sstk people are so darn cranky & mean you even scare me, and that's pretty hard to do.

Thanks ! Well, as with us the saga never ends, lol, we broke a trailer axle in Wyethville Virginia, and before anyone rags I just had the trailer serviced, brakes, shackles, springs and such.

**** just happens, oh well were here for the night. Get trailer fixed hopefully on the road by 5 PM....

I gotta get home to my son, hes back in the hospital , all going to be ok, but hes bored sitting there and we have a good time when hes there (strange but true, good company I guess)

So, well a couple people know the "real" story of what happened to our motor, some are just guessing and slinging mud, thats ok, funny I wasnt even the one driving, same thing the old man said, "Thats Ok everyone is gonna blame you" and he laughed, fair enough.

The funny part is those who are throwing guesses and conjecture have no idea what happened, Grubbs, who was nice enough to give us some very real, very valuable and very sage advice was standing on the line next to me when it happened, he called it 100% right, I didnt, he was spot on. His advice on many things were ACE , and they will be listened to without reserve, Arts advice as well, thats a given. The only single regrets I have is I wasnt able to find Mr. Grubs or Beaver before I left to thank them for their advice and input (and selfishly get more, as it was A1

The really funny part for us is reading the conjecture of people like boosted, and knowing he dosent know but keeps trying to act like he does, thats some funny and entertaining stuff. (for us, it may be our and a few others here "inside joke" but still funny)

We see the week and trip as a success, lets recap.

Got Cage Certed last week,
Got Our Liscences
Got Our Competiton Numbers
Got a Grade Point (both of us)
Learned "The Drill" at an event.
Met some great people
Learned a LOT of information at the track.
Everyone is healthy and we had a good time with the exception of 10 minutes of Oil down.

Broke a motor
Broke a trailer axle

Seems like the balance sheet still says "Success" to us.

How many Grade points you have Boosted and what is Your Competition Number ? Maybe you have em, but now were like Art said able to use them, that Progess for us, steps forward. Slow progress but progress, when we stop progressing, we will change how we do things, until then the world and racing, and life in general is at our command at our pace.

Thanks Itsy

Cheers
