Soooo I guess I'll have to explain this to you in terms you can understand about this sport.
The "trash talk"creates motivation plane and simple! In turn creates some sort of rivalry.(not my kinda idea but that's the way it seems)...which sometimes creates a outside interest. Thus spectators...both "rivals" push their stuff dig turn scratch dig some more to find more power which in turn eventually gets passed down to others WHICH OTHERS BENEFIT FROM! Which also sends business to talented individuals in the racing industry...
APD even said it's about getting down the track 1st. But the way I see it both sides have been fast and have been able to get down the track....Fulton has been running consistent fast numbers long before he had his current motor which set the bar high for others....and LJ in his OWN SPECIAL WAY basically said I wana race more than a few times..
But when it didn't work out 1 way or the other I thought that was a nice show of sportsmanship on his part....that's why
This race to me isn't about the shiny new parts it's about the level of development that has been brought on because of this race and the trash talk and moves the Pontiac market forward that others may benefit from... So I'll say it again
It's not about the cylinder heads....it's about who can get down the track with there new found power.
I feel I more than answered your question.
