secondly......


I had a few gremlins early in this season that bit me in the ass. The first couple of episodes were filmed within a few days of each other. Needless to say, it took some time and a lot of sleepless nights to pintpoint the problems, and make a field adjustment. When you come off the trailer with issues, and go back in the trailer with issues.....it’s expected that the issues are still present. We don’t get test passes, qualifying runs, or any of the above. Due to my poor past history of sneaking out to the race road and making some hits before hand....that is no longer an option. They watch me like a hawk lol. So i can’t test there anymore. And there isn’t many roads like that one to test for. So i’m basically racing off the trailer while solving issues one at a time.

I’m not one for excuses, but cut me some slack lol. It was clearly obvious even watching the show at home, that my junk wasn’t happy. And i still ran very close to an extremely high dollar combo with huge brand support and no expense spared. And for those that say ryan is better at tuning or understanding data, id sure like to know what “data” you have to back that statement up lol cause last time i checked i’m the only guy in the top 5 that 100% tunes his own stuff. I pay for it, i tune it (ecu, shocks, chassis, converter) i drive it, i work on it. Just because he beat me a couple times early this season, doesn’t take away from the fact that i’ve whipped him plenty.

I respect ryan and he pilots a fast hotrod. But......a proline 481x in the car and two more in the trailer stacked on top of a large hired pro team and a fat budget......should never be concerned about a bored and stroked pontiac 400 with a set of performer rpm cylinder heads.
