I dont see a turd I see a Drag Pak I built with my own hands, it will get to the low 10s and then into the 9s those arent questions in our mind, 1 issue at a time we need to resolve and well get there, you get there by doing it thinking about it, were "doing it" is it perfect no, is it a "turd" far from it,that would seem like a comment from the "Penut Gallery" and nothing more.

Some people know, some pretend to know what is actually going on with a situation, we actually know, you are pretending. Simple...you have speculation and theory, nothing more, no actual knowledge of anything really going on, that is a fact, you can purport to, but people here in general know how to smell BS when they hear it.

Im not sure if its jealousy, paranoia, just being a general ballbreaker or what the issues is...no matter we are here TRYING, to succeed you need to try , to try and fail is better than to try to downtalk someone else from an armchair,

Were happy, our sponsors are happy, are we jumping for joy no, but we are learning and having fun, what else is there to life ?

Just my 2 cents....

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.......

If it was made in fun fair enough, I didnt see it that way, but since you tell me it was I will believe it, I will just chock it up to antother joke I dont get (happens often) or, maybe being a bit oversensitive from being tired and windburnt.....or maybe the fact I would never call anyones car a turd under any circumstane.....some people have different boundries I guess, different "lines"

Now that being said, you said it was in fun so Ill take it as such.

Cheers

Chris

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

Oh yes, no ifs and or buts....People here have been GREAT !

AND I got (and the old man) to sign an "Autograph" today if you can believe that....lol. Probably the last and why it was wanted I dono, cant forge a check with it.well you could but the bank would bounce it ...Ill know I really made it when its on Ebay

I have had at least 6 or 7 people (outside of anyone Ive met here, come up and say "You dont know me but weve been following you" and pat us on the back) I was really suprised....lol...very, saw an NHRA guy walking up to me in Staging, and I thought, oh crap what did I do, for him to say the same thing....and shake my hand and continue on...that was cool. (and really cool I didnt do something (again) that got a :"HEY What are you doing" last one of those was about 4 years ago...lol)

Thanks WJ were gonna keep on plugging going to SGMP after for some real , wrung out testing........and its on the way to Gainesville.

The old man needs to get more seat time (and me too) like you said, it looks like after I get it there Ill have to peel off to Ohio for a few days and handle some things with my son , I dont think Ill be back till friday so, Wed well get him all set up for Thursday....then back.....

Thanks WJ, needed that......and some sleep, and apprently some sun block I got a bit of sun today, or wind....not sure which, but Im red as a beet.

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.
