At 28 years old, I have probabally gorgotten more than you old guys know. The Camaro is mine, the Mustang is not. But the bebefit of being a good driver is the opportunity to drive other peoples' stuff. JPee, I'd like to whoop on you out there, then take your hired driver out for dinner with the money I won. Too bad I couldn't race Hot Air the same day, but you can't race 2 guys that both lost first round. Maybe you guys need to start having buy-backs.

JP, we all know you are only "good" (acutally luckey) on a pro tree. That's because you leave as soon as you see the stage bulb flicker. Maaco is having a spring sale. You can cover that lemons blue with a nice coat of Ford Torch Red for $149 plus tax. If you do that instead of hitting the track you will go home with more $$$$ than normal. Your car would be as inconsistant as ever but would look a heck of a lot better.

Web dude, the only top end racing I will have to do is hold .04 and dump your fat sandbagging a$$ in the box. Your get an .05+ mov and a loss. Be fun to watch you play your back and forth racing games down the track. I'd get to wave to you each time you went by. And just to let you know (I know your on the slow side) that wave doesn't mean your #1. Yet another error you've made (does anyone on the site have a calculator to keep track of them?) is that I'm not a kid.

28 huh. I had a national record before you were born! Won rd 3 Sat night with a mov of .014. Rounds 1 and two I ran my number with a 7 and a 3 . I'm sure I could learn a lot from you.

You hold any number and you'll lose. I can guarantee that. I also talked to someone that thinks they know you. If it's true you are moving south I'll be more than happy to give you a shot for a price.

You would have to change your screen name though. No way you could take all the ribbing after all of the lessons I would give you.

I saw your record at the museum the other day. It was etched in stone and they had a replica of the dinosaur you were riding too. There was a cave drawing of your record pass too. Was that JPee as your crew cheif polishing your dino-dragsters nuts? I know he was alive back then too.

And I know we all take em how we can get em, but third round? After a redlight, a bye run, it was still kinda like first round. Even a blind squirrel finds a nut once in a while. I would be impressed if you had told me you total margin after 3 rounds was .012, but for one round???? You had better tighten that up. Maybe you need a longer white cane or some thicker glasses.

Lesson 4. When someone is sleeping at the tree or can't dial their number there isn't much you can do to tighten the mov. Or, do you hit the brakes and wait on them to catch up? Not very smart.

jadams67 and a couple of other guys thought the forums were boring so I got together with Kazman and we decided to stir the pot. We only snagged a couple of guys though and we were hoping a lot of guys would jump on this. Didn't happen though so we're back to the boring thread.

BTW, I really like the Mustangs.

The clip of me getting wacked by Ralph is totally bogus too. Edgar of all the clips out there you had to pick that one. Thanks buddy.


This was a fun thread. A bunch of really good racers here. I am in the process of moving to Florida. Should happen late this year or early next. I'm looking forward to racing 50 weeks a year. Racing in Div2 will be a lot easer that racing in Div1.
