Just so you know Chis.....I am no armchair racer..... I've raced for 40 plus years on and off........built engines.....raced a few cars...won a few races.....and helped others......You don;t need to lecture me about what it takes to race.....I do and have for years and years and on a blue collar budget........ If you had not written so many posts there wouldn't be anything for me to say other than a new guy looks like he's having trouble sorting out a new car...... The Turd comment was made strictly in fun......sorry if it struck a nerve....I'll leave you to chase it on your own.......

Chris and Dave: Half-dozen passes, brand new racecar, a few bugs.....most EVERYONE goes thru this....keep plugging, get the seat time, tomorrow's another day....things will come together. There's a helluva lot more people here that want you to succeed, rather than to fail, you both know that.... WJ

Want my .02?....Quit blamming yourself. Like it or not, don't let Toyota dude's tune an EFI Mopar. Your car should have ran a WHOLE lot quicker.
I know what these new Hemi engines can produce. BTW, You know as well I do, I make a good part of my living building and tuning them. |

I couldn't agree with you more. That car sure does looks great, however it should have yielded low 10's right out of the box. Is that the owner's fault?, driver's fault?, or the TUNER'S fault?.........Personally, I'd blame it on the tires, not the TUNER.

Once again, I have to give you guys an A for effort. For most of us, new cars have to be sorted out. Very seldom do they run fast right out of the box, although we always hope they will. You'll get there and I'm sure sooner rather than later.
I was born and raised in Akron. If I still lived there, I would enjoy coming around to lend a helping hand or at least give moral support. Unlike Garlits, Jeggie or Roy Allen, I know you guys did do the majority of the work yourselves. That's what sportsman racing used to be all about. Not just showing up on race day with your helmut in hand.
