    You kinda didn't answer if that was the car that was on the track that had pictures taken of it. Not trying to start shit... just trying to clear it up. I know only one thign has changed since the build thread you found on this website about the car, and that is that the rear internals are a bit different (gears)

    It starts with the simple belief that you are what or who you say you are. It starts, like all faiths, with a belief-a belief predicated more on whimsy than reality. And you've gotta believe for everybody else, too - until you can show them proof. If you're lucky, someone starts believing with you - first theoretically, then in practice. And two people believing are the start of a congregation. You build a congregation of believers and eventually you set out to craft a cathedral.

    Yea I believe thats his car in the pic. All I'm aware that changed is the tires on his car. It sounded the same as always and felt like it always had when he took me for a ride yesterday. I thought it would hook a little better with the new tires but its only a little better if at all. Maybe he has to break them in?

    And yes he has been to the track. I'm not really sure where people are getting I said that he hadn't. Last time he was there I watched and he really struggled with the 60'. He's still figuring out how to launch it. Its on stock axles.

    So now your 6 car advantage would guarantee you a win. We will talk more about this. That Honda is no slouch.

    Third I know what it runs. And even at the track I know we could not hang with Ronin's car heads up (hence why I'm asking for space).

    Hmmmm

    If thats what you want to believe. I have said this time and time again you run way better times than us. Your 60' will best us any day. I'm willing to bet that your 60' on the street is better than what we get at the track! I know you say its no slouch but just because a well angled picture was posted doesn't mean its fast. Give us 4 1/2 cars or I don't think we have a race.

    All these rumors and back and forth are getting really annoying. It's not like we're some big time race team or have thousands to bet. I was only posting for my buddy to see if any local guys wanted to have fun.

    Like you I'm not trying to sound mean and I understand you had a family issue but we were out both Friday and Saturday waiting and you didn't show. Also you said that you would PM me on Monday day but didn't until Blue Streak posted asking if I had recieved a PM.

    If this race isn't mean to be then so be it, to us its no big deal. I feel like this whole thread turned into way more trouble than it should be.

    And yes Blue Streak I miss spoke but I was making/proving a point that this car does not run 10s and we need space. If you look at everything else I've ever said I always indicated that he HAS been to the track.

    Like I said when I first posted this race will never happen. I've watched the car at No ET.

    Ronin is still welcome to run the car. We'll still race. I just could do without all the drama and rumors. What difference does it make if you saw it at No ET?

    My friend should be at ocb/china buffet off telegraph tonight. He'll be in his black super duty or near it. If you still want to discuss details you can talk to him directly and maybe work something out.

    belt driven turbos suck... should be obvious why you cant run 10s easily.

    I left around 11:00 so I don't know. My buddy said nothing happened. Unless your into kids doing burnouts and flying around the lot almost hitting things/people.

    Why don't you give it up. You want to race any car but if its faster then 12's you need room? No one is just gonna say hey let me give you 10 cars so we can see a race.

    Truer words have not been spoken, he wouldn't want to go any deeper than at least 6 lengths. At that point it's not really a race. And if that car is what the picture shows, it's definitely faster than a 12s car.

    I understand a hustle but the car is trailered every weekend. Who does that with a 12 second car that's never been to the track LOL
