They are guys that like to come say this shop is better than the one you are helping. Talk a lot of smack, and then the shop ends up getting beat by a home built car.

Paul, that's all fine and good except you are forgetting one thing:

There are a couple of shops that already compete head-to-head in the NOPI tour week in and week out. There is a points race there and at the end of the season it is easy to see who did better that year.

So again, there would be really no gain for those two shops that already race each other, and BTW they get along too, 10 times a year.

Why would a shop put their $10, 20...hell even 50K motor/car on the line when they already do? For bragging rights?? To be honest, that wouldn't be enough incentive for me personally. If I had $50K tied up in a race car that already drives all over the country to race every other week, why would I risk blowing it up to settle an internet pissing contest??????

Now, if we are talking about shit talking customers and crazies who wanna do a track day to settle their beef with X, Y, or Z.......that would be different. Why is that different? Because 99.9% of the internet drama is started by the cheerleaders and not the shop owners. So, if they started the shit, let them finish it in a way that is definite. Taking a video camera to do a 60-120 roll on 85 is NOT RACING. Too many excuses and variables that one day net one winner based on the excuse of the day.

I still say: You wanna talk shit and start internet drama, fine then. Somebody will eventually take offense to your shit talking and then call you out. You wanna settle it? Go to the track day and settle it there. In front of God and Country for all to see. If you have the stuff to back it up, good for you keep shit talking then. It's not bragging if you can back it up. If you don't have it, you'll look like the tool you are and hopefully you'll of learned your lesson about shit talking.

Forget all the rules and classes and .....you don't like somebody in particular.....call that bitch out and go run. Simple. What's the problem with that?

If a shop doesn't like another shop for some stupid ass reason, try and settle it like grown folks. Look the other person in the eye and tell them TO THEIR FACE...I don't like you and here's why. There's only two responses to something like that: FU or let's talk. If you wanna talk then talk. If you wanna prove you're faster than they are, call them out and show up to race. 1 on 1 somewhere where the numbers don't lie. How hard is that?

All this....that shop fucked my sister, the other shop kicked my dog, that other one smells funny.......that's all freaking GAY . Shops are people's livelihood. That's how they feed their families. Don't be a fag and try and ruin someone's livelihood w/o having the balls to do it to their face. IF you have the balls, then that's life. Life is harsh sometimes. IF you don't have the balls and are some kind of keyboard warrior, the STFU .



I'm in a bad mood today. Can yall tell????

Tons of great valid points, but those shops who already race this is great advertising for your shop... as i posted in a previous thread there are 4 shops who have made names in racing: MM, Batl, ISP, & AAP. Me peronsally being a customer of some of the shops i would love to see them race other shops i don't go to just for fun

while i understand where jaimie is coming from, heres my .02

unless im misunderstanding you, and that is completely possible.......

If a shop doesnt want to put there 50$K car on the line then thats fine, i understand. but what makes you think they would put it on the line if username "XXXX CALLS OUT insert shop name here"

They wouldn't. The SHOP wouldn't want to waste their time doing that.

That's why I said that 99% of the internet drama isn't REALLY about shops. It's about individual shit talkers that speak on BEHALF (or so they say) of the SHOPS. Get it?

That's why I'm saying that shit talking is easy to settle. You settle it the same way you deal with any other drama or bully you come across. You call their bullshit out and hope you have enough nads to back your shit up or it ends up backfiring on you. It's that simple.

If you notice, very few comments are made by the actual shop owners and those few comments are usually in direct defense of someone making the shit talking personal. Men will be men after all. I don't fault them there. But the majority of the time, the real players don't even care enough to fight on the net.
