Last thing here before I enjoy my week.
These comments above are not the attitude to have not are they correct when it comes to racing or testing to race.
First off why would you want to be competitive at a wrong weight ? That in fact makes you not actually competitive.
Secondly why would you expect another racer to want to say something about you willingly not wanting to be competitive at weight ? That's a confrontational approach that we don't need nor expect. (Yes it was only 35lbs so why not have respectfully left it in ? )
And third a person that has worked very hard to try and make this work didn't have a "hissy fit" I merely mentioned at the dock that everyone was running as they should and you with the boat and power you have shouldn't be a reason to be exempt.
It's about professional courtesy and racer respect. We cannot get to the next level with comments like that.
Comments like those above is what can stop people from wanting to come out.
I'm doing the best I can here gents and I don't do anything here without always asking any and all. Maybe it's time to step aside and just watch for a while.
why did you take it upon yourself to jump on me at gregs before you even saw my boat weighed and tell me im adding weight?
why did you try and tell me your going to check my compression? i can run as much squeeze as i want!!!.. im not going to reply to your bullshit jeff.. see you in haliburton try and question my boat again... your being a moron trying to make me quit its not happening my boat will weigh 1540 just to prove a point i dont NEED to be 1550 and its not going to make a difference anyway.. stop trying to make me quit.. you've already made the winston's never want to show up to a torc event again because of this type of attitude you give every new racer it seems that could have a chance against ted....
and for the record PAUL KRYSCOW made me take the weight out.. 100% going to listen to him over you so instead of attacking me on the internet,,,(again) try Talking to Paul about it...
When you showed at Greg's I was merely busting your balls the same as you were leading up to Gravenhurst. Thought you were game for that and was happy your showed.
I was joking regarding your compression and did mention that a Drag/S3000 block was limited to 150.
I also mentioned that if you were light you'd have to add weight. It is , was and still is the fair thing to do.
As far as the "Winston's" go , they never said that to me what so ever and I cannot imagine that they'd feel like I didn't want them there and that was never said to my face at all. Not sure how they might've went from the friendly attitude they as a family had at and during the entire weekend to now being what you are saying and that they never want to show up at a TORC race ever again. That's too bad they've blown up anything that's been said by anyone but at no time did I or anyone else say they shouldn't come or race at all.
They should call me because they're completely wrong for feeling that 905-924-2525.
Sorry you feel that me defending the integrity of what we have all tried to do the past many years is me trying to make you quit. In fact that's the exact opposite , I hope race each and every race from here on out. You're already closer than you think and once you take some time to think you'll see that the few extremely simple guidelines we have should be followed by all racers.
Throw some compression at your motor , get your electrical gremlin fixed and you're right there.
