    so whats the big deal then? why dont you just tell me then. i come up to you after you win a race and say
    "hey man that was realy quick and your car looks great. what all have you done to it."
    then you say "nothing much just lowered and a few things."
    then i say "oh yeah well it runs great man. major props on how quick it is. what you got under there maybe we can get a good clean run in."
    then you say "ah no man its just stock" (after you just got done waxin an super charged cobra that runs 11s)
    then i look at you like your crazy and i say seriously and thats where you get all secretaive and dont say anything or mislead me or give me very little info. now i know what it takes to beat something like that but you insist on be a dick about after i congratulate you on a good race then try to race you and ask you what youve got done to it so maybe it could be a good race between us. its stupid and shady. and its happens exactly like that every time. every single time.

    Yup, no one forces you to hang out with anyone. Once someone does some shadey shit around me, it takes a LOT for me to ever trust or respect them. There are tons of people at car meets, and tons of people who race for fun. The second someone wants to be shadey or secretive, I just move on and talk to other people.

    You don't have to get along with everyone, and the people you don't hang out with aren't necessarily your enemies. Just pick and choose the crowd you want to surround yourself with.

    By being "shady" I mean approaching someone and acting as if you are going to tell them what you are running, but in reality it's a bit more.

    Someone coming up and saying "Hey, wanna run my Mustang? It's just got a pulley swap, exhaust, tune. Should be a high 11 second car" When in reality they have a 150 shot on the car, running on race gas, and have run 10.5's before at the track. Or, the same person asking for a race....but then acting like they have no clue how fast the car is.

    There are people who choose not to share their mods, and there are people who don't mind doing so. Then you have that other group of people who try to play down their car or act like it's something that it's not. Those people actually aggravate me FAR more than the ones who are up front and let you know they don't disclose the work they've had done to their car.
