I agree with you 100%!

Since I am good buddies with Jeremy and he is helping Irv with the dodge tune, I know a few things.

If you cry to much, Irv and Jeremy will just move the bar again. Right now they just get to choose where the bar is unless someone else wants or can step up to the plate.

But this comes from someone who likes to see what a car can run, not how much can it be slowed down.

While I have only spoken to Irv a few time and have no question I have not even yet to know him. From his tempered reaction to an OVERACTION where I lashed at him for a situation I was angry about, but even then his response was tempered and well adjusted. From what I have heard about him from 3rd parties, learned and from our limited communications I have come to one conclusion.

Irv Johns is a serious competitor who wont take lightly to being bested. And given that may happen he will unleash a torrent of resources and knowledge to accomplish his given goal.

I believe that to be true 100% and I also believe he will be our toghest competion thus far in ANY arena.....its a David and Goliath match we welcome, I dont have any question we are the underdogs, but how much fun would this whole adventure be without a DP competitor like Irv Johns ?

I have told my plan to my dad, its simple, "We chase whoever is fastest, and if by chance we should for a moment end up on top know that everyone else is chasing us"

I know we will be chasing Irv for some time to come.

2 cars same builder , and ours too I "copied" Irv whereever possible with our limited "intelligence" as it seemed like a good starting point. I wouldnt have spent considerable time , effort and expense copying someone I feel is not "the target"

Although I have met Irv I don't know him that well, I do know Jeremy quite well and talk to him daily.

He is a drag racer to ne end, he understands how and why things work or don't work. He thinks things through and everything is done with a reason.

I understand your desire to go after the one on top. You have a tough challenge I suspect. Everyone knows Irv's car went 9.74. Its .2 slower in cali, guess they forgot a few things over winter.

Jeremy and myself teamed up on another drag racing challenge not related to class racing at all. Its limited and more just branging rights with very few people hunting for him, but it has been fun and so far we have bested others by .3 seconds.

So being an outsider I enjoy your desire. Irv will be a good one for you. I am sure Irv will enjoy it anyways, if nobody was attempting to challenge him what fun would that be?

All this time, I just thought since I was a newbie, I wasn't understanding the lingo. Maybe it's not just me.

4 shots of Bourbon, 2 nightime cold pills, 3 shots of Thorazine and 1 beaver tranquilzer it all will make sense
