Just got my latest copy and was wondering where you guys get your info? Most of the info was incorrect or completely left out. Its great that you give the top 10 in each class ink time, but it would be nice if the info was correct and some people get their proper credit. Just a thought.:rolleyes:

You're gonna have to be more specific, Jim. How'd we screw you?

All my info was correct. You guys said I was smart, good looking, the best racer in the class. At least that's what I read.:D

I believe every other car in the top 10 had mention of the chassis builder but for me no mention of the chassis builder (Tim Bradham chassisworks) and the car is a 25.2 car not a 25.1.
The engine is actually only 419cubes, not 434 and while Mike Curcio (who is a great guy and friend of mine) did do the cylinder head porting but the engine build was done by myself in my shop. I have always built my own engines and while they may not be the most competitive, they are what they are. We don't have the money to purchase a "high end" engine so we bring what we have.
As for not burning it up chasing the twin turbo cars, did you not see us in BG? We had the engine out putting pistons in it after first round of qual. We had the engine apart in Michigan also after burning a couple of pistons in qual. as a matter of fact, the engine was out and apart more than it was together trying to find the right tune so we could be competitive. Unfortunately, to no avail.:mad:
Now with all that said, I'm not trying to complain as any exposure is better than none but I wish you guys would have taken the time to ask a few questions rather than make it up.:confused:
Thanks and sorry for the rant.

You must have gotten a different copy than I got. MY copy had your picture in it and we could tell that none of that is true.:D

Lesson learned, bud. We'll make sure to get it right this year. Nobody's perfect. Especially when deadlines are looming...
Maybe we'll mess up Monson's info instead. If he can tear himself away from playing hockey with his mom to come out and actually show if he can be competitive...I still think he's a sissy. :D

That thing be ready by Reynolds???That's the plan. I figured I should give everyone a 1 race head start to make the points race fair.
