All major event s/ss winners undrgo tech inspection

[THE LEGEND]

I saw Rampy come to NC back in the winter of 92 I think. It was a little outlaw track running a couple 5k races. He won sat and r/u on sunday BRACKET RACING. I saw him running .90 stuff in the 80's. No way in a million years will I ever believe he can't work on his own stuff. Just because he has a cewchief don't mean he can't do it.
I will tell you another one was Jim Harrington. In my opion one of the best. He could drive anything and won in most. He could and did work on the cars he drove.
Are you telling me Edmond and Scotty don't know nothing. They both are bracket racers that did well Class racing. In fact Edmond probably bracket races more than you peopl stock race.
Jeff Taylor started out bracket racing when he was 14 years old in NC. He even once saidafter winning one of his World Championships that he bracket raced to stay sharp. He thought it made him a better class racer. I guess he don't know anything either.
I could keep going on this subject.

WHat the hell does David Rampy winning bracket races have to do with working on his car? Believe what you want. He was driving for people back then. He raced SS in the early 80's with a 72 Pontiac like I used to own, that Harold Stout used to own? Do you have any clue what your talking about???
I grew up watching Jim Harrington race, spent time at his school testing my car . I think the world of him, and was honored to know and race with him. He ran the tires off of everything he raced. I think Bertozzi owned the SS/ mod car he drove. I think he got help with the stocker in the years before he passed on. I remember him back in the day racing, he was hard on stuff. I don't remember him being a wrench, or using one often unless he had no choice. A great driver and even better guy, but not any kind of mechanic.
The Richardsons are drivers, and great ones at that. The car that Edmond drives is owned by the Faulk's . Scotty bought his car and just raced it, he mostly drives for people now. Neither guys are known for being mechanics, and they dont have to be.
Jeff Taylor is known as a SS and Comp engine builder/driver. Been doing it as long as I'm alive. He is not a fulltime bracket racer.

This whole thread is about teardown at races. Then somebody sugested no rules, teardown, and all dial. I had an opinion about it and you told me that we all need to wake up and realize it is almost all bracket racing. Now we are at this. Face it Chip you are wrong on both threads. When you are in a hole and cant get out...STOP DIGGING! As the famous and very missed Ed Obrien used to say. Have a nice day...
