I went through a Divorce the year I won the Division 3 Bracket Finals at Indy (1992), the only thing that kept me racing was money I got from a law suite. Wife getting half my pay check sucked but that’s life!

It doesn’t matter what heads Justin get as long as he steps up, he’s kinda being left behind!. Doc has over 900 cubes, Kamikaze went Big Block twin turbos, hell even Monza tossed the old Nitrous bottles away for twin turbos!

Long view but good (except for the trailer sales pitch). Gives some insight from Chief directly.

Because it is nobody's business but their own?

I definitely get some of what he's talking about, especially that "one guy" that always butts right in to your pit regardless of what's going on.
Having the only FGF road racing in the Southeast at Vintage events and usually by myself I get distracted a lot by people stopping at the trailer, some of it is welcome and fun, too much or wrong time is a royal pain.
At larger events sometimes I'll go or stay inside the trailer when I see people walking up to the car, and just sitting down outside to eat lunch is a problem. The lunch break when the track goes cold can be the only downtime we have, while fans use it to walk the pits and talk. Can't tell you how many times I haven't had time to eat because of that, multiply that by how many fans he has and I can't even imagine.

I'll never not talk to someone that stops by my pit no matter how I'm throwing down. If i do ill apologize and ask them to come back later. At the Pontiac races it never stops, its kinda cool!

Brian, its not like I don't respect what you and you family has done with Pontiacs, I do.
I still have piles of Pontiac parts and a race car that I race consistently. Have all my stuff except for the CNC 48s and 70 WS block. I turn every nut and bolt on my car, bumper to bumper. Not as fast as some but I am a racers, racer.
Hard to keep a program together when you are on unemployment part of the year then the "new" guy, then the place closes. 3 times in a row.
Lot better ,much better/stable company now.
But you stuck up for a real deal "keyboard" guy who is still sore over how his "calling out " thread went for him. I know some of he reasons he does not race so much and I would not wish that on anyone, my families been through it.
He is not helpless. If he wants to come at me I can take care of myself.

Hope your cubed Tigers turn out great.

I didn't stick up for Wilke, just saying pot meet kettle.
You make a lot of assumptions that have no facts to back them up!

You can mention name's and I'm not exactly sore. Don't appreciate your opinions equal facts statements.
True I stopped racing regularly in late 90's my ex had alot to do with that. Had to get rid of my snowmobiles for a while as well. Last time actually racing was fall 2005 @ 2 months before my first spine fracture. Was nearly year and 6 more fractures before diagnosed with multiple myeloma...(same blood cancer family as leukemia/lymphoma). It's treatable not curable. Since then a few more fractures including sternum and a few ribs. Only one vertebrae left that hasn't fractured. 3 months ago some of the Docs felt I'd be lucky to get past Christmas!
I'm here! I was down to 82 lbs then...I'm up to 120... Shooting for 135-140. Ill never be back to the 185-190 lb i once was. Nor will the foot of height loss come back. The new chemo they thought was too tough for me is working quite well... In fact today starts a new cycle at a lower dose.
I'm getting short distance without cane or Walker. I was down to Huntsville AL a few weekends ago. Met up with a few Pontiac racers from PY . Aaronman(and wife Jean) H.i.S. as well. Several others there I didn't get to see. Don Kennedy and Ken MacNicol(sp) among others.
Anyway as I mentioned in my previous post... I'm still building a 90 Firebird...if I heal enough to race it fine, if not two of my older kids will. My one daughter has already raced my old 68 Firebird...She's light and has good instincts. And wants the job.
Yeah Dragncar I don't have much to show for my racing except probably a crate of -.001 and -.002 redlights first or second round.

Hope I can line up against you sometime... If not me my "kids".
Remember I'm going to run turbos... Building car to be drag week capable and it will get driven to Norwalk and raced. Hopefully 2019 debut

Bruce, hope to meet you and a bunch of others at Norwalk someday. But if I ever make it out there it will be as a spectator. Monumental effort to get a race car from here to Ohio.
Have plenty of .000s stickers. But they give them out in time trials so they don't mean much to me. .001 in competition is playing with fire. Rather have a bunch of .007s.
You ever cut that Torker 1 in half I gave you ?

OK, you don't want to play nice. Ever beat KKs 8.48 ? I did not assume that.
Freaking lowly E heads.
