This thread reminds me of the hustle game with three cups and a pebble.

The truth is, this thread is a distraction from the ice and snow outside for most of us. Gotta have some fun in the winter somehow.

Carry on...

By now it's clear you reall don't want to race.


I want to race, badly. I race in NHRA Division 1. Like I said, I'm not going to Norwalk even if you paid me $1000 to show up. It's not a real race event, just basically a club day and there is plenty of them here locally and I NEVER go to them. NMCA NMRA NHRA IHRA, thats where I actually race. I'd race a friggin tricycle if I know I had a good one and could win. I bracket race because heads up racing is a waste of money. The only real race is to find a loophole in the rulebook and get the car out fast enough before someone else does or they change the rules.

Dude, you're a nobody, never did anything but go the test and tune so you can come on here and brag how bad ass you are. What until you go to a real actual race, scales, spec fuel, qualifying, traveling thousands of miles after working 60 hour weeks and another 60 hours working on the car. All that work just to go out the first round. Enjoy watching Baskin and Long race after you load you car up and become a spectator, millionaires out spending their pocket change.

Your a do nothing talker. Mostly you race your mouth.

You been dancing around like a ballerina trying to make excuses and change rules and change cars and change pistons etc. you are not going to do anything. Except avoid what you said you wanted.

so what your saying is I can't update my engine which was built in 2007, have to be 300# heavier and 40 less cubic inches and this race will be fair?

I dont have time to find it but you already said the heads were recently updated.

I think you can't help yourself. If you think it you say it and then it's true.

Just stop whining and line up. Or give it to Jeff.

Jeffs car 3150 pounds and 525 cubic inches which is exactly 6 pounds per cubic inch, in the real racing world that would make your car have to weight 3390 pounds to make a fair race.

So basically what your saying is you are going to need an almost 400 pound weight break.

KO and Mike Leech,

From a curious spectator's standpoint...

What are your best times in these cars with each of you behind the wheel?

ET / MPH / weight?

This thread is giving Brian Baker's HISTORIC "Worthless Post" a serious run for the money!

That is the only thing close to racing in this topic.

There won't be a race. This is another keyboard call out that will never be answered. There will always be a reason why it can't happen.

Maybe he'll sell it and buy a boat. Never seen that one before.......
