Here is the current discussion to date. Draw what conclusions you want.

ok sio ido own a gsxr100 its a 06 i dont have the title b/c its at the bank so if you want me to show you i have one i will so let me know what you wanna do
David88vert: 03-28-2007, 08:40 PM
Let's run then.
What side of town are you coming from? I am in Doraville. (I don't know where you meant by D-ville.
How soon will you be ready to run? All of my bikes are currently ready.
For cash or for fun? I have no preference.
I suggest Commerce or Silver Dollar if you want drag runs, or Little Tally or Jennings if you want timed laps the track. No BS, just good clean runs - recorded so you have proof, and totally legal (so neither of us can get in legal trouble). I don't know you, and you don't know me, so I would expect you to be cautious of street racing someone you don't know.
I can bring either of the R1s, or the 929. My 02 R1 is probably the best match. It is the slowest one.

ok all bullshit aside i wont beable to go to the track for a while i weekends and nights so you can come out to my house and see the bike if you would like to bro why would i say i had some thing if i didnt you know what i mean something like this will happen
David88vert: 03-28-2007, 09:06 PM
So you are saying that you work every night and weekend? You don't have any time to run? When will you have time off from work?
onebadbird: 03-28-2007, 09:15 PM
im off on some weekends ill let you know tomorrow and ill have to see when my dad will let me borrow the trailer so i can use it but ill let you know
David88vert: 03-28-2007, 09:23 PM
I tell you what - I'll make it really easy for you, and fair.
You take your choice of races.
Your bike vs my bike - drag or track. If drag, we will pick a time at Commerce or Silver Dollar, lowest ET wins. If you want timed track laps, we can go to RA, Jennings, or Little Tally.
Drag (with cars) - Your 96 vs my 92 Mustang (mine is mostly stock) - Commerce or Silver Dollar, lowest ET wins.
Track (with cars) - Your 96 vs my stock 93 RX7 - RA or Little Tally, timed laps
Pick your race type, and then I will pull the schedule and we can set a date.
onebadbird: 03-28-2007, 09:31 PM
no bullshit i will let you know tomorrow ok and i just had last weekend off so i probably wont be off on the weekend for awhile and go ahead and say im being a pussy
David88vert: 03-28-2007, 09:56 PM
I haven't called you anything.
I am just asking you to take your pick of races, and then lets set a date for it. It's not really complicated.
You posted earlier that you were ready to run this weekend. You also posted about going to FFW. That's 2 weekends right there that you posted about. I am simply trying to get this set up.
So, what type of race do you want? Make your choice.
onebadbird: 03-28-2007, 10:27 PM
drag race. Is your r1 stock?
onebadbird: 03-29-2007, 12:36 AM
and what do you mean when you say (mine is mostly stock)
David88vert: 03-29-2007, 07:30 AM
Drag is good.
Does it matter? It's run what you brung.
David88vert: 03-29-2007, 07:32 AM
It has stock block, stock heads, etc. It does have exhaust of course, and a few bolt-ons. It is a full interior, daily driver. It's probably the slowest Mustang on here.
onebadbird: 03-29-2007, 04:03 PM
well you give me a list of what all is done to your car and ill tell you what all is done to mine cuz its not stock
David88vert: 03-29-2007, 11:35 PM
What does it matter what it has? Trust me, I am being fair. I am evenly matching the vehicles. You have more power than I do by far. On both setups.
I'm giving you every advantage that I reasonably can. You have more power either way, and I'm neutralizing reaction time by throwing it out, so all you have to do is get down the track in the shortest amount of time possible. How much easier can I make it for you?
What we need to decide is when and where, that's all. Commerce is a good safe location, and you can publicize it, and have proof that you can run. No one can flame you for that. Don't worry about what you are running against, only worry about getting your car to do what it can. That's all you can control in racing. You have zero control over the other person's setup.
When is the big question. I cannot tomorrow night either, as I have to work just like you. We can put it off for weeks if you need to. It doesn't matter to me. I will be running all summer regardless.
onebadbird: 03-29-2007, 11:42 PM
look you cant bull shit a bull shiter ok so why dont you tell me what all is done to you car thats all i want to know. dont lie b/c if i show up and you have more done then what you said i wont run you. i wont be able to make it untill june or later. im the only guy that my boss has right now and he said he will hire some one in a few months so ill be working for a while
David88vert: 03-29-2007, 11:47 PM
I'm not doing any bullshitting. I don't need to tell you shit about what I am running. Quit trying to weasel out of it.
You said you were ready to run bike vs bike. Let's get this done. Then you can worry about car vs car. If you want to run car vs car, bring what you have, and hope it's enough. If you are concerned, run for fun, no cash involved. There is nothing to lose then.
If you have no time til then, what are you doing online now? Surely, we can find time to run. You only need a couple of hours. If you can't make it to the track, I can arrange a run in a secluded place that is safe. That will give flexible hours.
onebadbird: 03-29-2007, 11:52 PM
im at work and just tell me one thing ?
David88vert: 03-29-2007, 11:56 PM
tell you what?
onebadbird: 03-29-2007, 11:58 PM
how much power are you puting to the wheels and none of this stock power what are the numbers
David88vert: 03-30-2007, 12:00 AM
Less than you are, more than a stock 92 Mustang. What does it matter? Numbers mean nothing. I have beaten a lot of cars that had a lot more power than me. I've also lost to cars that have less power than I do.
onebadbird: 03-30-2007, 12:02 AM
ok how much power do i make ?
David88vert: 03-30-2007, 12:09 AM
Again, what does it matter? You claimed 400. I assume that is at the flywheel though.
You talked smack on the forum. You berated Mustangs, and talked up your car. You got challenged, and you then said that your car could race right now, but that you would race your GSXR1000. I called you out on this to run me. I have given you the chance to pick your race. I have put plenty of options in front of you. You agreed to run the bikes in a drag.
The bottom line is this: Are we going to do this, or are you looking for an excuse to not run? What the cars put out has no effect on running the bikes. If you are not going to run the bike, say so now, and we can end this discussion. If you want to run the cars instead, then say it clearly, and lets get to this. If you don't want to run anything at all, say it.
onebadbird: 03-30-2007, 12:16 AM
look im not takeing my bike to the track i have heard of to many peeps fucking there shit up there and #2 i had a ls1 that made 400 hp my lt1 is stock i said that before so ill run you in my car your just going to have to wait untill im off of work so do you want to tell me how much power yopu are making now or is it a top secret and im not backing out i just found out 2 days ago i would be working like this
David88vert: 03-30-2007, 12:28 AM
The track is easily the safest place to run. Exactly what happened to them for them to mess their bike up? Sounds fishy and like an excuse. The only way you could mess up something is not knowing how to ride a bike. I have a few quiet street places we could go though. More risk naturally, but doable.
Find out when you will have some time off and we will run.
onebadbird: 03-30-2007, 12:34 AM
like i told you i wont have time untill june
David88vert: 03-30-2007, 12:39 AM
Well, then hit me up in Junne if you want to run. I am done until you are ready. I am going to post this entire conversation up and let the others determine what they think for themselves.
Personally, I feel you are just trying to come up with excuses not to run.
Good luck with your work. I'm going to bed now. This has been a waste of my time.
onebadbird: 03-30-2007, 12:41 AM
dude do what you want my car is stock if you wanna race my car then you can wait but im not raceing you on the bike b/c im trying to sell it i dont want it any more
Can you guys just let that shit go ?!
