All I hear from you is a lot of smack Can you drive better, I hope so, show up at the next event and lets find out. :scratchchin: I will take my car out from the rental side just for you. You like to talk smack behind the computer, just show up or shut up. Protest me if you want but make sure you are right or you will be the fool. If I feel you are wrong then I will protest you and anyone else which is the proper thing to do and not sit on the sideline bitching like little girls :nonono: (Nick and Alex). Funny before Nick and Alex showed up there was very good sportsmanship behavior and if there was a problem someone protested and did not act the way they did. There are the correct channels to go through. One is to have good sportsmanship behavior ( NASA code ) two is to protest if you feel the other car is cheating. This is now between me as a very long time racer (actually longer then you) and the babies that cry when they get beat instead of protesting. I know the game been there done that. I personally don’t care if you like me or not, we still bring 12-20 plus track and street cars to all these events and you don’t do this professionally. We run a State of the Art Race and Performance shop since 1987, supporting our customers in The NASA-FARA-SCCA and now The Grand Am Series in B-Spec. Nick I hope you don’t try that cheap shot blocking move coming out of turn 4 at HMS cutting down another driver into the tires on other experienced drivers for your sake.

:lol: Angry papa bear much? So much for moving forward.

A protest is a little more involved than shouting he's cheating and plopping money down. That's a good way to waste money and time. From what I've gathered, a well executed protest often requires careful selection of what exactly to protest.

Ernie, if the car is legit, just let it go (and bring gaskets).

Sorry I just hate that kind of conduct at the track, very amateurish and not what NASA wants out there.
By the way I had gaskets.. Anyway it is not about him in this post. It’s having the proper etiquette at the track.

One could make an argument that whining and name calling people being suspicious of your son's car is poor sportsmanship as well. Just let it go.

So now you're talkin smack behind a computer. I'd say that ties the score. Carry on.

You started another thread with no context. Someone who hadn't read the 1st would have no idea what your talking about...and it's written at someone(personal) rather than as a topic.
Jim gave you great ADVISE put instead of listening you jumped in your own gutter...and are engaging in exactly what your being critical of???
Use the PM function when you need to convey an important message to someone. And if you have 2nd thoughts about what you have written you can delete...before the vultures begin circling.
