Nice cars.

nice

You should ;)

I just loled...

I would love to grudge race you that what i built this car for, but this is the kind of grudge racing we do and it will cost you atleast $2k to get a lane. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eMrqleOmesM

I did make a video, for my 8 second pass. ;o) According to Buschur it was on autostart, but with a 10 second bracket delay (meant to throw off guys illegally using delay boxes). I can't verify this, just passing it on. Any real event gives non-street cars (hard blocked, no alternator, etc) more time between rounds, an hour is fairly standard. I've already made changes to the car and have more planned to make sure I can make the call at poorly run events. No one there was my crew, or my gf/wife. But if any of my friends acted that way unprovoked I'd disown them. What I heard was that your crew was laughing and heckling, saying things like you're glad my car blew up. I don't really care who did what first, all of this BS is really not my style, I'm embarassed by it, and I'll apologize for it. I'm in this sport for fun, not drama. I don't care if I lose. Next year if any one of my friends says anything stupid, let me know and I'll cock-punch them myself. Maybe we can get a friendly grudge match setup if we don't run each other in competition. ;o)

That tree should have been on a 3-5 second autostart like any other track, NOBODY else sat at the tree with both beams lit for 11 seconds like we did during that race. However thats not your fault and nobody said it was, i blame Norwalk for that. As far as your "crew", i do recall everyone pushing your car to the line wearing the same t-shirts, i assumed thats your crew. I came over to your pits and talked to you asking how much time you planned on needing because we weren't going to head up until you did, but the officials called for us and still gave you 15 minutes on TOP of the time we were in the lanes. We did everything we could to give you time. But idk if your girlfriend/wife has problems with losing, but when we celebrated a WIN on the line first thing out of her mouth was "you all got lucky". Sorry but thats not tactful in any way. I went to shake another one of your crews hand and was told we should have backed our car off the line! I then decided to walk away and go celebrate with my crew in the pits only to be greeted MULTIPLE times by your girlfriend/wife with the one finger salute upon her seeing us. Kinda funny we get that kinda response from you, yet we clap for you in the awards ceremony. Just kinda left a sour taste in my mouth personally. Trust me, you being unprepared for a race and not making the final pass takes absolutely not ONE bit of excitement away from that $500 or the nice little trophy. Come more prepared next time and maybe you can turn the tables on us amd make your own video :)

The comment about your crew is ment toward your girlfriend flipping everyone off after the race. The tree was not on autostart with a 10 second delay. The guy standing there had the button in his hand. My crew was not "flailing" there arms for a bye run but because i was being burt down. If you would have been held on stall that long would you have been happy about it? Im not saying it your fault but it was uncalled for me to be burnt down like that

Not sure what is meant by the comment about my "crew." There is no crew, I'm a one man team. I don't need 8 people at the starting line telling me where to line up, jump around with arms flailing after a bye run, and whatever else "crews" do... And again, the car didn't break, it had low voltage due to a 15 minute turn around between semis and finals. Once I got on the transbrake it stalled and wouldn't restart. The tree taking so long to come down is normal, and not my fault. It was on auto-start, but on a 10 second bracket delay, not the usual pro-tree delay. Either way, I'd spend less time dwelling on this, and more time polishing that trophy. ;o) I got my 8 second time slip, and that's all I was looking for. Congrats again.
