As for your "Track record" Show up and run..Look up in the N vs S when you said you were going to be there..where were you?
Not to mention all the Previous stuff with the Mullet mobile.

PS The 2 wins, Ya running unapposed is a win no doubt. But at the expense of how many motors? Oh..thats been swept under the rug I forgot.
Ya, we didn't make it to N vs S. This was due to the inability of our previous head porter to get the heads done till the last minute. I think you know who I am talking about. It's the guy you say I owe a lot of money too. You know your buddy's down the street from us. Let's talk about the engines that were swept under the rug too, one thing they all had in common.......cracked intake port runners. Imagine that, your buddy's work again. This is why we now longer use them and have moved on to a head porter that know's what he is doing. A company that doesn't due their R&D on the fly like your buddy's.
You are right, if we have met, it was enuff for me also. Your sole intention is to come on to this board and start ****. You throw rocks from a distance with no meaning. Why don't you try to find something to do with your time that's meaningful.
Thanks

Just thought I'd chime in and add my 2 cents. I've been hearing about some of your self imposed misfortunes over there and can't really say that I'm surprised. It's only a matter of time!!
BTW...Car looks sweet!! 7s?....Not a chance. You'll be lucky to see a mid 8.
Best of luck.

Well, Well its like a reunion in here, I can feel the love.
It will go 7's no doubt, we are aiming for Thunder but if it isn't there we aren't going to just go home and give up. We aren't the type of people that take losing well, hell even if we win the event our goal is still 7's.
APE delivers top notch quality and we work on every customer project as if it were our own. We accept nothing less, and anybody who did would find themselves no longer employed by APE.
Drag Racing is all about trial and error. You can get a good combo together on paper, hell even have a proven combo. Until it makes it to the track and runs the number though it is just words on a page. We'll have our proof ready for Thunder that you can count on!!

OH, YEAH!!! It's a reunion! Here I am Jeff (you don't know me) Davis! Are you ready for a run? Chris' car is no joke. I have seen it, and I know it. You MM chain-yankers are here for some bashing, huh? Bring out what you have to compete with the extremely well painted black Camaro. Oh? That's right... YOU'VE GOT NOTHING!
Do you want me, too, haters? First it's Geoff, then the rest of you, if you can even field a car. R...S...V...P! C'mon Geoff. When you coward out, then I'll look to Raj. Even if I lose to him, there will be no shame in a stock block, stock trans, stock rear car losing to a purpose-built "quarter-pounder" car.

Don't thank me Chris, I'm only doing the moderation bit. I won't hesitate to visit your playground too if I have to. Same as anyone else. That being said, don't you have a car to finish up? There's big gap between the shop cars and the home built cars to make up for.

Please leave me out of all of this. As I've stated time and time again, I want nothing to do with flame wars anymore.
Racing, however, is another story. Once again, I would like to take you up on your offer. Last time I tried, you ran and hid like a small child. I am ready NOW. Please let me know which track, when, and how much. I will be there.
PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE don't run and hide again.
Thank you.
Raj
Ok Steve, I know where the playground is. You don't have to come visit. Thanks anyways though.
Who's got the home built cars?
I Raj, how are you? Looks like your car is running good this year. Your in the 9's right?

My car runs OK...not bad, but not fast enough to hang with the big turbo and F2 cars LOL....not fast enough to talk **** with the faster APE cars I guess.
Fast enough to stomp the **** out of a certain blue turbocharged camaro and take his money though

Our home built cars Tom Kempf which will run 8's bring your bets if there are any.
Shop cars The Black Mamba, which will run 7's.
We own the Playground, we went to two LS1 races and won them both. Missed North/South, but we'll be winning Thunder. In the words of Ray Lewis, "WE MUST PROTECT THIS HOUSE"

I'd also like to bet that the shop car will not only NOT run a 7 this year but won't next year either.
