Bruce, being very competitive as I am in anything I do I do not go into a race or a competitive sports saying " man I hope I don't get beat". No I go in thinking I/we are going to roll over the competion like a freight train! It's the only way to be, IMHO.

It's been said many many times before, but I'll say it again. I N2O car does not pick up in good air like a blower or NA car will. All it does is mess with the tune.

But when Jack knows one of the racers he claims he will skull drag, has previusly gone 7.7's, he is telling us hes got that 7.7's car covered. (intended meaning or not) When he said that, Jack inferred hes expecting to go better than 7.7's. He may not have meant to, but there it is. I'm confident Dick plans to go faster than previous numbers and not lacking the skills to do so. I'm also very confident in the heads that will be on his car and the person who developed the ports. I've seen the mans work 1st hand in person. Flow bench tests and all. I may not be a head porter and my "porter speak" sucks too, but I'm not lacking knowledge or skills to evaluate someones work or the capabilities it shows. Im NOT saying Dick wins hands down... stuff happens... As you said... Jack Does have much to lose, so I'm sure he'll be set for kill mode... Dick has to sort his new combo too. Hopefully this race happens. I think its going to be the race to see. |

[QUOTE=BruceWilkie;5135328
I wish him well... hope the new heads give him what he needs to accomplish the task... "Skull Dragger" TTFMF... Regardless, Dick has already been .2+ quicker than Jacks best ever in east coast air ttfmf. Dick didnt have the primo air to boost his numbers. I dont think Dick is building a slower combo.[/QUOTE] Skull Drag??? Bruce, I think LIl jack is more into Donkeys now or at least I think that's what told Bill.

Jack I never think about losing either. I love catching a competitor off guard. I street raced alot when I was young and lived in the Buffalo area. You never knew if your competitor had more than claimed or was just trying to fake you out... I lined up and raced. Later years bracket racing I never thought "gee this guy has a string of near perfect lights" or "oh no" the track champ. Didnt matter as long as I did my part. Revisited street racing thru my 40's... alot more risk. More than money at stake as well. Someone came looking for me... Simply set terms and said lets go. I much prefer to simply take action, "is it a race? lets go!" Prefer to save the smack for after the race. Competitive I am... my style is just different than yours Jack. I plan to win... period. I'llthen eventually get my car done... we can set terms and we'll race. When I say I'm ready I will be ready. Until then it sucks I'm on the sidelines. Life happens. |

Doc says hes goin... he got held in chassis prison too long last year. A few others prefer to bracket race then push combos for max effort...cant fault them for that... to each his own. Besides not everyone can do what they would prefer to do... let alone do what you guys want, when you guys want them to Mike gets his race eventually... this year??? I have no crystal ball. The sooner it happens the less barking we'll hear??? (probably not) Bill's payin for two residences... that cant be helpin move his build till the house gets sold. He is making progress though. |

And Bruce, how do you know it won't be a slower combo? The head/port he will be running has literally no data to back it up and no proven intake. It could be a complete turd. You guys can't seem to help overhyping everything all the time. It's like a damn infomercial we are all forced to watch every time one of you posts.

I've agreed to race a cv combo 3+ years in the making, that is 30 CID bigger(shocker), same weight(supposedly), belt driven, prolly drysump, Darren Morgan whazzo port, Bigaz spreadbore carb, with a canted valve head and a sheetmetal intake. built by the guy who does prostock heads at sonny leonard racing engines vs 30 less cid, same weight, old azz Eheads, cast intake, wet sump, timing chain,reg dominator,Ok Magic Man ports that he will bust out in no time! built by me in my garage. LOOKS LIKE I SHOULD GET KILLED ON PAPER EH? Sure hope for you guys sake thats how it goes. I got betting money that says he will not show unless he can win for sure. If it looks close in testing he will not want to race. But we will never know as this will be top secret squirrel crap....

Besides you guys will think its an info-mercial and either ignore the info or interpret it to read what you want it to read. Get your info elsewhere. Seems plenty among you that know everything about them yet never really seen whats been done the last few years. (or seen them at all). Let alone seen any actual testing. |
