Since I've been getting PMs asking me WTF is going on, I thought I'd share my perspective. Note there are always at least 2 sides to every story, so take this for what it's worth. (details omitted on purpose)
A certain person on here has taken it upon himself to trash what I consider to be the tribal elders of this forum. I've only been around racing since the 70s, only had an LS1 for 8 years, so I don't know much. (just level setting)
But I DO know that this "clique" as he refers to them, to a man, knows what they're talking about. They are the guys I go to when I have problems or questions or want to do someohting out of the box. Each & every one of them has over 20 years in this sport, and many of them make their living from it. I highly recommend taking your car & money to any of them.
But for whatever reason this person is running around behind the scenes spreading lies & stabbing all these guys (& many others that you might have dealt with & respect) in the back. What most of you see going on here is just the tip of the iceberg. Not how I would choose to make a name for myself.
And now he's drug me into it. All I've ever tried to do was help people make their **** go fast & stay together. Many of you know I'm there to turn a wrench or give advice if I think I can help & you want it. But now that I've been invited to the party I can't ignore this situation any longer.
Hopefully this doesn't get deleted, because people should know who to trust & deal with.....

PS sorry if this isn't as funny as your thread is Lane
but I thought it needed to get out in the open

haha, no its not like it doesnt run. I just have a short temper, and i get frustrated easily. like today, since my warranty for my laptop is coming up (and im going to get it fixed) i transfered all my files over to an external HD... then for some reason all my configurations for HPTuners got erased.. so i went HULK for a little while (hence the above post). but i really think having a stock car would be more fun at this point

I'm going to P.M. you later this evening or tomorrow.And I also apologize if I came off the wrong way.
For the record, if I were going to cut you down there will be no question or doubt about it
