Sorry Dave, I was logged in as BSI fixing their classified adds :) I fixed your post for you though and your welcome :pimp:


Ya Butt, you deleated your BSI post on the "Penny For Your Thoughts" thread. Ya know, the post where my exuberance of using the word winner vs parity was challenged by BSI. I'm sorry for using a wrong word, but you deleated a post that didn't even have any snafu words.

I just got done drilling out and welding up and drilling out my crank, I think I done a purty guud job with it, now just sending it off for the shot peening to an un named engine builder somehwere along the east coast that assures me I will gain 3+hp from this I should be unbeatable with 3 more horsies under my hood, and undetectable to boot LOL...

should get me across the 130hp barrier, let the arms race begine :)

Sorry for my absence. Been in an agricultural part of Southern Italy for the past week and off the grid.

JD. Thanks for your answers. Your response to the sleeving issue, along with Tom’s response helped me understand the timing of this rule change. I did not think you were running sleeves, but I thought you might know who was, that’s why I asked.

As to the shot peening of cranks, your name was on the GCR clarification, that’s why I directed the original question to you. I stand by the story I heard regarding drilling the cranks, it does NOT relate to you, but I felt it needed asking, as I am not aware of a high incidence of crank failures in our class (in fact I have never heard of any) and so did not understand why the shot peening issue came up. My lack of understanding in this area is obvious.

JD, sorry if it came of that way, but I did not mean my questions to come off as an attack on your engines. I believe that your engines will be under as much or more scrutiny than anyone else because of your profile in our class, and I believe that you have more to lose than most if something is found to be beyond the rules.

damit pat stay on topic jezze what a bore lets talk about you next topic
Satire is primarily a literary genre or form, although in practice it can also be found in the graphic and performing arts. In satire, vices, follies, abuses, and shortcomings are held up to ridicule, ideally with the intent of shaming individuals, and society itself, into improvement.[1] Although satire is usually meant to be funny, its greater purpose is often constructive social criticism, using wit as a weapon.
