This HAS to be the dumbest, most off topic thread ever! But you just can't stop reading it!!! It is like a dead body or a train wreck. Trust me, NO WAY did I want to step in here. Then I came across the BS above which is not in any way fact.
Jack went on to say he "only bashes fake azz racers" while referencing me. So, to set the record straight, here are the real facts on "fake azz racers" and pistons:
For Jack to say he only bashes "fake azz racers" while using my name in the referenced context is just dead wrong on so many levels.
I am 1 and 0 against Minimal Jack. In any sporting event, even racing a forfeit is a loss. I towed from AZ to Norwalk to beat him in an agreed upon race when he talked trash for years. Only to have him back down when we had made some test passes. Every pass we made was faster than his, and we were spinning the tires to half track and couldn't find the handle. What baffled me was I actually thought he was a good man, he came up to me while I was sitting in the car staged for a run and Bill was checking the tires and said (verbatim) "man that trash talk on the internet, it's just trash talk to have fun, I got nothing for you today." Respectable, I thought. We had beers that night and really angered the old man parked next to my pit (oh boy was he pissed in the morning) and we had a good time with a whole host of people. Maybe it is that people are different when you are not around? Maybe it is that some just can't keep it together when the keyboard is humming (I love my friend Bill, but I think he falls in this category
and I have told him so). Maybe it is just jealousy: I got in the magazine from Norwalk and on next years Pontiac Nationals T shirt. Minimal Jack got???????????? That is fact!
Jack, never use my name and "fake" in the same context, you haven't earned the right.
Next BS: In multiple decades of nitrous use I burned 1 piston... while running Tiger heads. Let's not go there, I am not blaming and never have blamed the head. I put CV heads on 8 years ago or so and the same short block is still in the car. I did torch a valve while chasing a 7, a result of too little timing and my learning curve when I added the fogger. I have NEVER had any other issues with the engine though we made numerous passes over 170mph with a best of 175. We unfortunately never found the first 100 ft.
We had just put a 2.10 low, new converter, changed the shocks and more... then had to sit out a while while we concentrated on business and family. This summer I got the itch so we ran many full races in airport style grudge matches, raced in the Roadkill nights events on Kansas Speedway pit road and on Woodward Ave at the Woodward Dream Cruise, etc.. We had a lot of fun! We won some, we were competitive at others, I never lost a grudge race. We burned up 2 nitrous mother bottles, 2 sets of tires, and we never changed the plugs. We pulled them and put them right back in while we adjusted off of the 02s. The car is still pretty fast! But now dated. Winter is coming....
Why this head stuff is so pissy I will never know. Seems we should be happy to have so many options. Maybe I should go race a Mopar
Happy Hunting fellas! In the infamous words of Rodney King: "Can't we all just get along?"
