Soon as the car's back together, I'm sure he'll be back on the track. I gotta put the new Wolf ECU in for him, and install some new guages. I will keep you posted though dude!

If you guys think there is a point at which money stops playing a role in the speed that a racecar can attain, you have obviously never been involved in any real racing.

Yeah, there is a great plaque at S-Squared about what racing really is.

To paraphrase "Racing is about spending money. You spend money to win a race, to win money to upgrade your car, to win another race, to win more money. Then you spend more money to make you and your car faster. Then you win a few races, then you spend more money. And when you finally think you've spent enough money, you needs to spend more."

I didn't say a fast driver reaches a point where more money doesn't help. I said a schmuck reaches a point where more money doesn't help.

Its one half dozen the other. Have you ever dragged your car? You know, really got into it? Its all different, and a matter of preferance. And you should agree that any schumck can not improve on his current driving situation and not run a faster time around an autocross circuit because "skillz" dont neccessarily improve over time. It depends on the person. So, yes, you can hit a brick wall yourself. And as you guys know, more power doesnt also yield faster times. But in all honesty, I probably shouldnt say anything - Ive never been around an autocross track. Maybe I should try it out before giving my opinion.

That's funny 'cause my credit card statments say the same thing these days.
