I find it beneficial to have the lightest possible car with the biggest tire possible and call out the heaviest car with the smallest tire I can find. Then when I win I rub it in their face because I just proved how badazz I am.

The problem with your sarcasm is that is really how they see it! They really think thats a win.

At this point Mike I could care less about who calls who out,what size tire they run or what there car weighs! I think there needs to be more CV-1 cars out actually on the track......going down the track......instead of hearing lip service.

True, but based on the reputation of the head maker, Visner and Gaby porting,designing and building the engine. I think my chances are better then most!

I think you may be underestimating how hard it is to get in the 7's. Maybe you'll nail it first time out, who knows... I wish you luck. Sounds like you have a great combo with tons of potential.

Not at all, I know how hard it will be. I have help from people that know what it takes.

I fully understand what my limitations are and plan to pay someone to help me so I don't make as many mistakes. I have until August and a pocket full of cash to help me get there.

If I don't hurt the motor I have more than enough to get me in the 7's.

Lets see...hmmm... the heavier car with smaller tires boasts he will "skull drag all of them"... If "we" race him and beat him its "OUR" fault he lost??

"We" arent the ones who put no conditions on the call out. Who's the dumbass that made the callout? Not "us"

If we dont race him because of "possible weight or tire advantage" he can just call "us" pussies??? Nice...

Either way "we" are wrong ? Nice... That IS what you are actually saying.

Someone tells us he will be running a class that allows him to be 3000 lbs. Maybe one of us meets same lbs per ci thinking we need to be at same weight ci as him. That someone shows up at 3400 gets beat and then blames us for it because he is heavier???

Our fault for racing him???

Our fault for not adding weight???

Someone can fit a bigger tire, maybe equal to ours, maybe bigger, but choses a smaller 275 instead... Our fault if he gets beat??? "We" only accepted a challenge with NO disclaimers on the challengers behalf... he made the challenge... Nice!

Thats how idiotic your post reads...I didnt write it for you, you lobbed that one all by yourself.

How thoughtful you are! Or is it... How thoughtful are you? Or is it... How thoughtless you are! Or is it... How thoughtless are you?

Amazing.
