See the thing that many people dont understand is that grudge racing boils down to one thing......who has more money. The guy with more money wins every time unless he is a idiot and cant drive. A good car guy can get the best ET out of his car by tuning and trying to get every last little bit out of it. The KEY with racing in general is to make CONSISTENT RELIABLE POWER. Anybody can make a car run fast. To run on a number pass after pass and only have them within a tenth is saying something, and a tenth is a lot in bracket racing. I run low 10's on power.

I don't car about what you said what i meant was have some respect for lou and the site, hit the newbie thread

**Steed1** · 01-12-2011, 10:10 AM

Its not about respect because I have that. Its about being realistic. I didn't know there was a law where I was only allowed to post in a newbie thread......

Newbie threads are not manditory. One of the mods or me will let anyone know if they are out of line.

If I wanted to conform to the many I would race nmra. I build my cars how I want them and could care less for consistance. Its all a matter of personal choice. There are alot of cars that grudge race and are way faster than you would dream. Its not always about who has more money into there car and to say so is foolish.

Darn Shelby owners anyway...

**Steed1** · 01-12-2011, 08:53 PM

Grudge racing does boil down to who has more money. To say that it doesn't is juvenile statement for an inexperienced racer.

**Flyin Monkey** · 01-12-2011, 08:57 PM

So, When's the race?
