You've captured the essence of "me" so eloquently. But I'm not as old looking as that dude in the photo.
You need a new mirror :-)
sorry, I couldn't help myself!
That's not a mirror in our bathroom, it's a life size portrait of my father....just wish he was wearing some clothes.
Lol
Stand down, Ed, I think that I have been chosen by Spinetti as your man....

Can we have a "crash off"?
Sure, just go find Dan and drive into the side of my old car. Please hit the front, rear, or right side. He still has my drivers rear quarter window, and I want that back lol!
Breaking news.........pecos edward funk caught,tried and executed at the tombstone road racing track....for behavior unsuitable for an it racer......grieving spouse found downing copious amounts of corn likker(sic) at the local saloon.
Since when did Ed start driving a Pinto?
:dead_horse:
Realizing that they may have made a "serious" error in regards to the notorious apex squealer "Pecos Edward Funk", The wounded Knee Region SCCA Stewards took a 2nd look a the Currier and Ives mule mounted video of several incidents.
As a results points were restored to the deceased Pecos Funk Logbook.......and the true perps "The Nurburgring 2" were dealt with accordingly in impound.
Hi Ed and all....
I am sorry I didnt reply to this thread before now. They also had voiced their , not so nice opinion, to a friend of mine last year. I should have ....I to had a run in with these guys over this last weekend. The level of intimidation of the guys at Injun Summer racing is intolerable.
In short the fun has been taken out of it . In fact, I am almost certain I am done racing altogether. If I were to continue racing, it WOULD NOT BE IN ITB. But my mind is made up.
I was not going to post anything...but I would like the ITB guys who did not attend this weekend's race to know what is happening in the class.
If you beat the black or yellow golfs expect them to get in your face.

Apropos of nothing, I had a great experience running with Ryan at the ARRC two years ago, racing nose-to-tail for what ended up being the bronze medal.
We duked it out for a bit until I think we both figured out we'd be better off cooperating to catch the leaders rather than fighting each other for 6th. We caught two guys before I put a pass on him that stuck. I seem to recall that he put a nudge on me, when I think he got a bit of understeer coming to the bridge, but he apologized...
And this was after I'd clobbered him in the jam-up in T7 when Martin got messed up in front of everyone.

John, did you speak to any stewards about this? - GA
To be fair, John, unless these guys were rude, aggressive, or physical about it, this is the correct way to address issues of non-compliance. If your parts were non-compliant then they were non-compliant, right? Ours is a peer-review process, one that expects competitors to self-police as much as practicable. Sounds like that's what happened here. At least it didn't escalate into a formal protest situation.
If your conflicts were centered around points of non-compliance, and these disagreements were handled in an adult fashion, and the conflicts did not bleed out onto the track, then I suggest that we take a few deep breaths and maybe we'll see you in July...?
As for the Mustang guy that got "ran out", his was an obviously-non-compliant car: plastic panels and glass, rear deck spoiler, stuff like that. He's a real nice guy, sorry he got busted, but his was not a simple matter of switching a few parts, it was a car that was clearly in violation of the regs. From what I understand "they" (those guys? Scurineering?) spoke to him and asked him to move to an appropriate class (he went to Prod, IIRC).
BTW, we do, to a limited extent, allow non-compliant cars to run as long as they waive points or something like that. That, I believe, is how they handled the Lotus Exige that was double-dipping into ITR...

Greg,
I deleted my last long post , I typed it out in anger. I'm not a good forum person .
This will be my last post .
I didnt like the way it was handled. period.
I was going on info about the Ford guy from another source. I was told one thing an another happens to be true. My bad.
No you wont see me in July . This decision has been brewing for a while and it's final .
What happened Saturday was the icing on the cake for me.
Take care and keep the dark side down.
- John
That's too bad John. You were running great out there!!
Yeah, the Mustang (Capri?) guy has been told many, MANY times over the years and everyone looked the other way because he was slow. Unfortunately he just didnt care which to me shows a lack of respect to his competitors.
I recall that Mustang too. Somewhat laughed about how obvious things were it was comical in many respects. I do agree that there's a better class if that's how the owner wishes to run the car.
Jason, sorry I didn't make it. Last minute needing to drop the car off at an exhaust shop. Still haven't done more then 2 consecutitve laps with the darn thing yet. And need to figure out why it's so down on power. Sigh.Quote:
