We will be a "distraction" for as long as we(the Sportsman Racers) pre-pay for all of the expenses or until the board of directors can figure out how to get out from under their "not-for-profit" status and "sell" us off.

I had 2 of my customers tell me I was getting bashed on class racer. I dont really call that bashed, I am a little tougher than that. Thanks for the kind words from a few. Truth is, I havent looked at CR in a year. It seems like mostly complaining about non issues, not really sure what I had to do with Ti valves, but I will say, thats a dumb idea in my opinion. We blew up 6 motors in a year and a half because of broken intake valves. We went to the spintron, fixed it in like 2 days, and havent broke one since. Steve Comella put 100 runs on an engine last year, I put new valves in it. As far as my PS program, its sitting here. My work load has increased alot lately (thanks Mr President), and I dont have time for much right now. I bought a new DMG mill last year, and am trying to make money with that. I dont have a problem with people that enjoy spending countless hours on the internet, to each his own, but my interests are in making things, solving problems, and putting $$ in the bank.
later,
and remember, your keyboard is never going to bring you a trophy.
