my opinion

Ed,

Are you referring to Indy '08, where I was disqualified for a valve that was .006 too big? If so, have some balls and come out and say it, don't beat around the bush. I'm sure you are so perfect in racing and in life and never ever make mistakes. You can call me anytime to discuss the matter further (813-675-3475 office). Do you really think that I would take a chance on failing tech for something as small as that? if so you are a fool. That trip cost me thousands and a week away from work (as it does for anyone who goes to Indy).

Nevertheless, I went over in on this forum and in ND. Funny how I fixed the valves and was back at the next race (with the engine torn down) and proceeded to qualify number one at the next race with the fix valves. If you think I got special treatment then that is your opinion and you are entitled to that.

I'd be up for teardown with a new points system anytime if it meant I had a chance to compete for a national championship based on the performance of my car, which I've worked on for over 15 years to get it to this point.
