A Twisted Loop Spaghetti Western

[05dc5s]

U guys got it all wrong. Nobody saying yall shouldn't do Wat u want, but the car should be setup to get the most out of it. I'm friends with moseley n Matt, n I told them straight that I didn't respect Wat they did at showdown by entering the street tire class, 1) because they outpowered everyone by FAR, 2) they can't show the true potential of the car. Then Matt explained to me that he has a goal of being the fastest rsx on street tires , which I can respect. I guess im just one for max power n fast times to go along with it. But ill still wait to see the car on slicks running like it should, sure it will do great

Honestly I was unaware that you didn't respect the RSX for entering the street tire class. I am also a bit surprised as it's what the car was built for, how it is driven and really exactly where it should have been placed to compete. True the car does outpower the other cars in the class but it outweighs them by FAR too. Also due to the amount of power it makes it is harder for it to hook therefore giving the lighter lower powered cars quite an advantage out of the hole.

Keep in mind that the pro class was won by a car that got off the line better and ultimately held off the higher trapping car all the way down the track. More power doesn't ensure a win and neither does what a car has run before you race to see who wins and thats why you race...just like in football..."On any given Sunday..."

Actually, Matt wanting to be the fastest allmotor street rsx says a lot. Got to give him respect for his class.

Thank you.

I see what your saying but seeing the way you looked at me when i told you what rpm i leave the line at also tells me you would love to see a pass out the blue car on a set of slicks that would handle a 7,000-7,500 rpm launch instead of the baby launches we do lol. I just enjoy not breaking shit all the time while still turning respectable times. I do beleive if there came a time that the track was hooking and i needed to launch at that rpm to win id do it but hell the last two events wouldnt hold a 5,000 rpm launch on brand new 23 inch slicks more or less a 7,000 rpm launch . In order to launch at 7,000 we would have to go to a lower gear tranny and a bigger slick bla,bla,bla just not worth it for that car .Il do what ever it takes to run the times i want to run with th new car.

I can empathize with you here as I too struggle with whether the modifications that would make my car do better at the dragstrip would be worth the pricetag in term of compromises to drive the car regularly on the street.

ur right, i respect matt for wanting to knock down that barrier. i hope he does and he knows if there is anything we can do to hell him reach that goal we damn sure would. all im saying is we need top step the game up. ITS NOT COMPETITIVE ENOUGH AT ALL. IT WILL TAKE US AS RACERS STEP IT UP. if we all say fucc it and be conservative, wats the point of going to the track. who cares if shit breaks, its suppose to, its a race car. when we break shit we learn from it and do it better the next time. i enjoy seeing everybodys car and all and i have respect for everyone but the game is stagnant right now. only a few of us doing anything worth talking about. i just watched a video in cali with like 20 turbo cars in one field and most running 9s. thast the shit i like to see, people going all out at the track to run good times and have fun with it, not be comfortable running 14s because its enough to win the event. i wanna see us all excel and do BETTER each time, not the same shit every year. just my .02cents

Well I look at it this way. There are many different classes to compete in and just because the barriers I am choosing to knock down don't align with yours doesn't mean I am ANY less competitive than you and certainly doesn't make me more conservative than you in regards to my goals and what this car is doing and will do. The reasons I go to the track are the exact same as yours, to get better, to improve and measure my times, to have marked results and to go faster than anyone else...To Win. I can understand and appreciate that you wish the All Motor Comp class to be bigger and that you want to see the number of enthusiasts and competitors grow. I want to see that too, we are both doing that very thing though and in not too different of ways. You do what you can to rally people together, help them and instill the sense of community. I feel I have shown people a fairly clear path on whats possible out of a K series and that it doesn't necessarily take a chopped up EG to be fast(despite if that is truly is the smartest most cost effective route) it can be done many different ways.

The game may be stagnate right now but that's not a fault that rides on mine nor your shoulders. I know I will be doing things to do better and go faster and I can feel pretty safe in saying that you are doing the same. I know I won't be doing the same shit every year or running the same times and I know you won't be either.

LOL. Here u go again. lol. The south man. remember you are in the south.... Good ol' conservative Red states.....

What the fuck does the political disposition of a state have to do with anything here?

but here u go again making a dumb ass comment now....lol... south or not be are way behind in the race game and i wanna see better fromUS, yes i said US cause i live here now. if im condemned for that then fucc it, ill go fast by myself with my team, along with stover and a few others. i wanna see us stepping up and doing better every year. look at showdown, everybody had disco monkey set to win all motor pro. we threw a monkey wrench in that plan didnt we! i hope next year when everybody has midnight to win all motor pro somebody throw a monkey wrench in our plans. thats being competitive, and thats wat i wanna see. i dont care who but we all need to step it up, georgia is behind, thats all im saying

All in all Stretch I do get what your saying and I can agree that Ga is behind though I feel it's because we have yet to fully embrace the K series. Untill there are more wanting to really compete and until there are more K setups we will continue to be behind in the race game. How much quicker did the winner of the All motor comp run than the winner of the All motor class? What was the difference in the traps? Can you really then accuse Twisted Loop of not pushing limits or breaking barriers if it placed those clases closer together? Should it be that close?

Don't get me wrong at all Stretch I like you, really have appreciated your help and respect what you are doing but shouldn't it be me asking for more from you instead of you implying more is needed from me? I just want to see a Midnight K swapped car doing low 11s like an All motor comp car should.
