Oppurtunity knocks.... May 03, 2009, 07:14:59 PM Am I up for it though?Read: QuotePauly,Dave informed me that you might be interested in working a deal for the use of your car to run Super Stang at the NMRA Atco race coming up. My twin turbo car is awaiting the new stroker engine and I am needing to keep up with the points in the class for the championship. Here is what I offered on the S197forum message board. I will pay for.........Entry fee for car/driverEntry fee for you and a one other person for the weekend.I have two hotel rooms paid for and you are welcome to one of them for free.Prize money in this class is not much but we can work a split on any winnings we might end up with. The class is full of S197 cars and usually draws quite a bit of media coverage in NMRA's RacePages, Muscle Mustangs/Fast Fords, 5.0 Mustangs, etc. Should we get into the finals there would be plenty of photo coverage of your ride. As a two time world champion I can say that I will do the best I can to make sure we get as many round wins as possible. Let me know if you are still interested in working a deal. I appreciate the interest. Thank you!SD Wheeler2006/2008 FFW Ultra Stang World ChampionShadowLands RacingCragar - Exile Turbo - Strictly PerformanceMy only concern is breakage.......Thoughts?

Reply #6 – May 04, 2009, 05:19:36 AM you dont have to race stupid, i'd do it and be conservative. im sure the other drivers would be thinking the same thing. just dont get used to jumping into a corner too fast, be conservative on the outbreaking, and pay attention. simple. this isnt a do or die race. or is it?

Oppurtunity knocks.... Reply #7 – May 05, 2009, 06:11:32 PM See the thing is I wouldn't be the one driving. Believe me if I were, this would be a no brainer. Basically it boils down to what would be a loan. After corresponding with him through a mutual party it's not happening.Here's why: I asked about breakage. I was told that's part of the game. Fair enough if I were driving my own car, but if I'm helping to keep you in a points race where you can make maoney and you wreck my shiznit you think you don't owe me?Yeah. I told our mutual acquaintance to tell him to stuff it, basically.Other guys who have been in points type classes I know agree with me. One told me I'd be "out of my mind" to do it. I took his advice.I'll break my own shiznit thank you very much.... Quote Selected
