Okay... about the NASIOC stuff... every shop/vendor has their fanboys... if anything seems out of place about your review of them, well you're gonna get jumped on. Best bet is to hold your review till the situation is resolved. Then post up the details start to finish and let the facts speak for themselves.

Regarding the idiots at that other site... why are you even bothing w/ them? IMO "grudge" racing like that, or for money is just asking for issues. Maybe I'm short on ego, but I frankly don't care who's faster than me in a straight line... or maybe I just like turning too much. Either way, if you want to be fast(er), the 1st step is admitting you're not the "fastest". So you swallow your pride and pick someone else's brain, and get some instruction, and practice. At least that's my philosophy.

Those kids will never truely be fast because they already think they're the shit, when in fact they haven't learned jack squat about what it takes to be a real champion. I know in the 5 years or so that I've been racing, all I've learned is that I've got a shit load more to learn. There is *always* someone out there that's faster than you. The trick is to use them as a resource to become faster yourself... not run your mouth at them and make excuses why you lost.

The bottom line is... to reach the next level, first you have to admit there's a next level to reach. I'd suggest leaving those guys and their juvenile trash talk and account hacking, and come out racing with some of us. Come to a few autocrosses, hit a track day or two... Let those kids play Fast-N-Furious and learn nothing, a quarter mile at a time.

BTW, my little rant isn't intended to be a knock on drag racing... it's meant to be a knock on people that think racing has anything to do w/ how much of a man you are. For some reason, drag (and of course street) racing seems to attract those people w/ an inferiority complex. I say, why bother playing w/ people like that. To me, the point of driving fast isn't to prove something to the world, it's only to prove something to me.

My intarweb security thing is blocking the nolimitimports link, but I'm gussing its like those other threads about you. In a way, I'm kinda glad I can't read it

No offence, but the guys on that board are only good for humor value.

Wait... are you like trying to take me out to dinner or something? Let's go to P.F. Changs... but I warn you, even if you buy me the lobster and a bottle of wine, I still won't put out on the 1st date.

for the guy who says 'die in a fire' - somebody's got issues.

I don't think it's that everybody on there has pm's. It looks like everybody on there has pms.

dayofpain · 2005-06-30, 11:53 PM

its really alot more than these two issues, these just kinda pushed me over the edge.

and i totally agree there is always someone faster. better funded. and meaner.

heres a story for you all who dont go to the races.

everyone gather round.

so i had just got my impala finished and was cruising out to the races for a little show and shine ;P. it was about two weeks before hot august nights, and there were starting to be more and more people every week. it was a fairly large turnout. id say about 50 peeps. back then ( about 8 years ago ) that was kind of alot. we all changed spots as per usual and wound up at spice island drive. we watched a few lethargic escorts trying to get tough, and of course the odd honda with melon launcher. then as if everyone sensed a disturbance in the force, a large hush fell over everyone, as we watched a new comer pulling up.

the new comer was a giant flatbed truck with a primer cream camaro on board. he didnt say anything just parked right in the dam middle of the road. he got out slowly cause he knew all eyes were on him. probably part of the excitement for him. he backed his car off the truck by letting it roll off. he never bothered to start it. he walked up to someone near him, and asked who was fastest. they all pointed to me (sad cause the impala only ran 13's at best) and i declined to race. he then asked a bike and a few others but noone wanted to play. he pulled his truck off the side of the road with the maro sitting dead as a doornail in the middle of the road. he grabbed out his gas tank from the truck and proceeded to fill his car with some kind of nasty race mix. and i mean NASTY it ruined the air all around the car. smelled much like a funny car. after he filled the gas tank he popped the trunk and flipped out a parachute, he connected the parachute underneath the car for what seemed like an eternity. he lifted himself off the ground and made his final trip to the truck. and came back with something i had never seen in person. he popped the hood and flipped a few switches inside. then proceeded to walk around the front of the car and lift the hood. noone really got a good look, but when he attached his starting device, and fired her up we all knew it was something, NONE of us would forget. the second it fired three or four car alarms went off. it would Barely idle, and i mean barely. he threw the starting assembly off the car and hauled ass around to get in. he fired a few more switches purged his line. and let her rip. the burnout must have been a full 1/8 mile. on street tires. lol. he pulled around and set up for a real run. from behind that car it seemed like it wanted to tear the asphault clean off the ground. it still stands to this day as the fastest run i have ever seen in person. (i have seen 7 second runs and 6 second bikes) the chute fired he pulled around right back up on the truck. disconnected the chute, and threw it in car. he drove off with a smile.

all nevada plates, just some garage sleeper that came out for a quick flog. i never saw him again.

sperry · 2005-07-01, 09:20 AM

I can't believe someone would bring what sounds like a Super Stock drag car out to the street races!

Next run:

vs.

dayofpain · 2005-07-01, 10:01 AM

yeah i think its my best story that actually happened. i have heard alot of stories but never seen them. that one i actually witnessed.

new news on the streetbike front. they can sit on it and spin. i have to do sidejobs to pay the bills without drawing money from places i dont want to. those sidejobs will keep me busy dam near all night. and to be honest, none of those guys can ride. everytime i ride near and around them im nervous cause of how wreckless they are. i dont wheelie. i dont stoppie, and i dont burnout. not because i cant but because i actually care about my life, (for the moment). I cannot count the times i have been riding up gieger grade hot, and next to one of those idiots that cant hold the line. every one of those times i feel like my life is in that idiots hands.

From what i hear this kid is a good rider but the biker boys reference is weighing heavy on my mind. i can just that idiot trying to run me off the track when he realizes he cant win. granted we will be only going 30 miles per hour during the ever so short time hes actually next to me, but that would still leave a mark if i went down.

im getting old, ill be 27 in a month. its time to start acting that way. i guess.

Back in '79 when I was a whopping 6 years old, Kenny Rogers came to town. I was fortunate enough to see him perform. At the time, the song and movie "The Gambler" was huge. How does that song go again....

You got to know when to hold'em
Know when to fold'em
Know when to walk away...
and know when to run...

Funny what one learns in life.
