He's beatin me and I have beatin him many times. Well, I can see this is going nowhere good. Clint is going to get offended and that should not happen. This was only meant as an open discussion about a video and we have gone off on a whole other tangent, even though what bred the highlight of the video is very much what this whole thread has been about. Clint, again, for, I think the third or fourth time....nobody is singling you out, you just happened to be brave enough to stick it out and offer up a counterpoint while probably 10s of other racers are reading the thread and have nothing to offer. I appreciate it. This forum, other than a place where people PM me with car/racing questions, is only useful to learn news about mud racing events, and now, obviously drag racing news. Pity, we used to have some threads where more people actually participated. See y'all around. T

Ummm of course we have something to prove! That's why we do this! If I'm going to Race I'm going there to win or at least be competitive at the front of the field if everyone out there were just a the track to drive around they would be doing DEs Again Clint, nobody is singling you out at all. I think really we are dealing with the same things on track... You have Mike, Henry, and Dennis do the same things to you.... We're just saying that we have a few others on the list lol

T great thread count, but I have read enough to finally have to put in my .02 and I hope it comes off as intended and not offend anyone. I think to say that anyone in our group is sandbagging or holding back is an insult. Our series is based on time and time alone, there is no need for calculators and logorythms to figure out who should be racing who. The perameters are set and a guy should not be penalized for doing what he needs to do to accomplish the goal at hand, like Lane said WIN!. Talent level behind the wheel may need to be enhaced by new tires or bigger motors, but as long as the time perameter is not exceeded, who gives a hoot. Henrys run last weekend was great, he broke out in q1 and the heat race, he was having his fastest day ever, do you think he gave a hoot about winning or do you think he was just enjoying the ride, taking his new found speed and flexing his muscles. I have watched Henry grow into his car over the past few years and get excited for him and anyone else out there who does well, be it a personal or podium finish in the class. Making ourselves better and having fun is supposed to be what this is all about. Do the s2's, turbos and s models belong racing with the SP2 cars? In our series yes, because as most of us have witnessed, if we stay on them hard enough and long enough we will eventually get by them, no matter how much we " are giving up" As far as Lane not participating, I am dissapointed, he is a great competitor and a darn good wheel man. We built up the boxster to run in Red and thus far have only been able to pull out low 26's with the configuration and tire combination we are on but have no plans to change it, ( at his rate, I will not need to get new tires until race 4 of the 2018 season) only work on driver skill and get better. I will take low 26's from start to finish all day long as the results have proven that alone will get you through the field and up front. Great topic, You all behave ! Chris

LOL...! Henry's growing as a driver was just bolstered by a $4500 set of Motons. Grassroots personified. Not sure we have $4500 in two complete cars... T

T now class warfare is being used....maybe we should tax the top 1% in red bracket at registration so we can get better tires\shocks? t are you race-ist? just messing with you guys...can't wait to be back racing i am going to be supporting some new graphics on the back windshield thinking "25% more hp club", "turn 1 racing series", "not a 944", "free passes in turn 2-3" still thinking.....

We are getting our first shipment of Racetech seats in next week. We already have a few harnesses in stock and a few 2011 FIA harnesses that will be going at a discount. They are good until 2016.
If anyone is looking to upgrade their safety equipment, I can beat anyone's price on Racetech. We are the Warehouse Distributor for the area.

LOLZ, thing is, y'all have already seen the only one finished, so it'd be in y'all best interest if I never do bring another finished car. BTW - if anyone reading wants a fast legal 944 and has plenty time to wait for procrastinating perfection....I'm taking orders..., That goes for top power PCA legal 944 race engines too.. Have cores, will build. Andy - what brand belts do you have...? T

Harnesses or drive belts? We carry Racetech Harnesses, though I can get other brands. The Racetech stuff is really top-notch.
I have Gates drive belts.
