Actually everything I said here, I said to him personally.

Furthermore, I think you should get with the program and realize that racing is racing. When someone thinks someone else isn't fully disclosing everything, and calls them out for a full inspection, there is nothing personal involved. I did this all the time when I was the Tech Steward for US Touring Car a couple years back. And I thought no less of people who bent (or even blatantly broke) the rules. In fact, I was usually impressed with their creativity. I still had a drink when them after the race. And there were never any hard feelings after the fact.

In the case of e90post.com drag racing, there aren't even any rules to begin with. And even if hotrod's car was inpected and caught running nitrous, it wouldn't make him any more of a cheat than the others who run race gas maps and say they are running pump gas. Or rip out the interior when say that the car is full weight. This is just the nature of competition. And it doesn't make someone any less of a human being.

Good poker players aren't bad people. They are just good poker players

Shiv didn't use the word cheat you did. I think the original offer still stands. If Warren shows up at a dyno and let's Shiv check out the car and proves Warren is running exactly what he says he may still be willing to pay out some cash.

Everyone here would show up for a free dyno and inspection for that kind of cash. Except Warren .... so far....

Not Warren anyway... He isn't accusing you of being a liar. On the other hand if you take accusing people of being liars and cheats so lightly I think it does say a lot about you. Karmas a bitch and eventually it will catch up with you. Just my opinion.
Cheers

I can believe the 117mph traps out of his car. Running higher boost, better gas, and drag radials w an auto. Clem hit 116mph running V2, Sunoco 104 and general tires.......so no reason to think Warren's car w his better setup cant hit 117mph. Hell, I think Clem's car will hit 117mph if you swap an auto into it.

i wouldn't. 750 aint shit for the time, and distacne to travel just b/c someone called me out. If it were like 5grand. 100% sure i would go. Its about opportunity cost, and maybe like me, 750 was not enough

and what offer still stands??????? I cant believe we are still EVEN CONSIDERING hotrod IS SPRAYING....

shiv made a joke, and all of you are taking him seriously... sigh

well, honestly? I wouldn't really care all that much. Might strap a 50 shot in an go run a 121mph.

I know what my car will do, unless I had $ on the line, I dont care what others really think about it.

To be fair, if I lived with my parents, I probably wouldn't need money either.
