No he has an oral fixation with things pickle shaped, And Tourette syndrome so he uncontrollably says pickles when he has an "urge". He's crying for help....

No, it's a technique used to judge how people respond to an odd question they can't logically respond too. Typically type A personalities have a tough time and respond with anger. Asking the question starts a conversation which usually ends with disgust.

If mike was capable of seeing the question for what it is he wouldn't have worked so hard to dispute why he couldn't come up with a logical answer.

My background is with robotics, industrial automation, and mid-scale project management. I'm used to talking slow so people like Mike can understand when explaining how plants are designed. I'm also one of the guys that hire people like pickle and learned how to interview using various techniques. It's all in good fun but Mikey is getting all but hurt because he can't understand the pickle question.

It's ok mike, your not supposed to.

while you're wet dreaming about yourself maybe, I guarantee I've hired more people than you have without a doubt. there was no logical answer hence no answer given to your retarded question......but since you have nothing else

LOL- Stop, you are proving my point way to easy. Im betting your turnover rate is high for a reason. Keep on keepin' on the same path, I see you problem. If you need help PM me and I can give you some pointers sometime.

I'll agree, the question was a bit off topic. It was totally based off me laughing at you when you questioned it. After looking at the color of your car I think Mike " The pcikle" Leech should be made into a sticker and placed on your back window.

Carry on....

Somebody is projecting...

nice dodge of they question i asked you....your ego won't let you say it because it would show your lack of experience or competence and ruin your self image...I understand how fragile your ego is.

mine dropped a valve..I did not properly ensure radial clearance. I clearly stated that at the time in the dyno thread that I checked depth but rushed and did not check with clay also. Look it up. I did not blame anyone else or hide the truth I even posted pictures for all to see.

You have nothing, you can't run much faster than 8.50's and you cant cover me. Count on it pickle.

I'm making sense, just not agreeing with you so you don't understand what it means....

Don't be so sure of your yourself or your advantage.....you still have to run the thing without it dying and parts do break...in the real world where racing happens.

You've been in power for too long. Not everyone needs some middle aged manager micro-managing their every move. It all comes back to the pickle question.

Your responses tells me everything.

You obviously are so damn smart you've got everything figured out. Thinking does not equal doing, but carry on with your bad self. Certainly your feeling short in the pants and your little pickle fantasy is how you feel better about your bosses being your boss. Its not your fault. If you were half the "benevolent superhero" you think you are you would have had the car at norwalk, or at least SOME results to point to cupcake. Some people do need to be managed....usually the ones that most think they don't.


I've hired and fired literally in excess of 200 people over the last 20 years. I currently and have, and for some time used personality testing as a basis for hiring. We can teach people skills the they don't have but we cannot fix a broken person no matter how skilled they are or think they are. Your version of a personality test is the most absurd example i've ever heard of. So you ask someone a retarded question then call them pickle juice throughout the interview and when they have an unfavorable reaction it is you that does not have a personality defect. Are you serious? If you really are paid to hire people using these tactics it is the most outrageous and ridiculous thing i've ever heard of and I'm quite sure you have embellished your qualifications . I've endured some rigorous testing in the military due to the extreme sensitivity of the information I had access to and I can assure you that is to only environment where that would be acceptable.

A true personality test is not hard to find or take.....here is one similar to what we use that I found on google. http://www.outofservice.com/bigfive/ The results of this coupled with additional interviews with key managers/co workers are what the decision of wether to hire or not is based. Your pickle fit would have prevented your Hire.

My guess is you score high in neuroticism. Just a guess.


P.S. My background is no less technical or RELEVANT in the racing section than yours

Now about your car. Have you ran it? how fast? what happened to the ehead motor? serious questions.

You sure are stretching the conversation a bit....

Go back and read my last response. I told you exactly what I’ve done, no issues with my ego. Its the truth, I said it earlier. I’ve never been fast.

Started my build in 2009-2010. Took a couple years to get the chassis done and everything put back together. All the while I was buying/building all of my parts to finish the engine. Finished the engine first so I put it on a dyno in 2011 ( I think). I had less than stellar results because I purchased a used set of eheads that I never should have bought. I also assumed the dyno operator knew more than me so I paid him to tune it for me. He failed because of his so-called knowledge of the FAST classic system.

I didn’t force him to tune the engine in open loop following the TPS like I did before he got it. I should have been more forceful and demanded it. But I’m paying him $1500 so he should know best right....

He let it get lean because he was trying to run it in closed loop while running methanol. Unfortunately that doesn’t work with the classic system. EGT's got above 1300° and it was still climbing when it torched the head.

So in other words my inexperience and his over-confidence hurt my engine. I decided to buy the cv-1's and it took me a year to get the heads and all of the hot/cold side tubing made up to fit them. Everything I built for the eheads was scraped.

In the mean time I put the car together and built another engine to take on drag week. We didn’t get it finished until we got to the track on Sunday. I pushed it way to hard and made some shortcuts just to make it. That caught up to me and I didn’t make the next day.

See- I’m human and have no issues talking about my experience with fast cars.

Did that help make your point?

Did I call out every person in this post? Nope, I just alluded to racing Lil Jack and Kinsler. It’s all an observation.

Ok let’s move on to the next subject. You are one dumb MF'r if you think I would interview someone like I respond to you posts on the internet. I explained the technique, I didn’t say I direct the entire interview that way. Geesh you are slow, do I need to detail everything out to you? Typical Ops manager


Ive already been to the track. Ive also put at least 200 miles on the street. Im sure I'll be fine until I break it again.

[jdw_poncho]

Since you are seem slow I'll post it again in case you have any concerns.

[S/st 54]

JDW, Is Micke gona help you out tuning wise?I'm sure you two have had a few conversations since he lives out your way.

Another question I have is what fuel system are you running on that monster?




And a off the wall question I have is ........I was hearing all kinda of rumors about a drag strip going in around Montgomery City ........are they gona get a track out there any time soon? Was it gona be 1/8th or 1/4 I can't remember.

GOT IT! LOL!
Hey there sharpie, you're the one that said you use that technique as a personality test not me.....I know all about you now. It sounded great when you said it and thought it gave you the upper hand. Now that its been pointed out how neurotic that style of personality attack(its not a test) would be. Then you switch to that would be ridiculous and anybody that thought you did that would be an idiot.....except you.

I ask interviewed candidates difficult questions too. You carry on with your retarded pickle nonsense. I will continue asking them relevant questions that cause them to sort through their emotions prior to giving and answer.


You still have no Idea what I do or my background.....funny you keep insisting that I am some kind of failure....and you are the one still aspiring to be what you claim you are(at least as far as cars go). I'm pretty comfortable in what I do and my capabilities so if it makes you feel bigger to make gasping baseless claims continue I guess.

I hope you have better luck on the next engine. The learning curve is sharp with power adders. Just try settling down a bit and get some track time. Then you can start getting all frisky with callouts. YOU SHOULD have more than enough for jeff and possibly jack. It would seem that you should know by now its not a gimmie. Nothing new here.....

You mean to tell me you finally figured out I was pulling the wool over your eyes?

Good for you!!!
