Why do some people think spending tons of money will make them fast in the heads up game ? Some times it does take finesse and tuning on your own...LMAO !

Thanks for listening

Because that's what it takes. The higher up the food chain you go, the more you need. Just spending money is not a guarantee. It has to be spent on the right pieces and people, unless you're one of the few people able to run it yourself. But it still has to be spent. Pat Musi doesn't have a red cross on his front door.


If the results don't match the theory, change the theory.

No Facebook????!!?
How will I know what you eat?! shruggy

When I was a younger fella I had a rather small budget, and I would street race engines made from scraping coins together. I beat LOTS of rich "Daddy's money" kids.
They rarely wanted to know how they got beat, they usually just got mad.
Strange but true

Sounds like his ego is in the way. He thinks he smart enough to run the car, rather than getting help.

I hear this BS all the time, people dismissing the grit of the winners by calling out the checkbook factor. I think they are trying to cover for their own lack of success by blaming it on lack of funds. If the other guy rose to the top, and I didn't, it must because he has more money. It couldn't be that he is more dedicated, more talented, made more sacrifices in his personal life, works harder, is more tenacious, more focused, more competitive, makes better decisions, and has more drive than me. Nope, he just wrote a bigger check.

I know a lot of guys like that, actually one stopped over this morning. He is the only guy I know that bought $4,000. on up grades on a mid 8 second 1/4 mile drag car to go more than .8 slower. He not a bad racer but just spends money on whatever somebody else's fast car has. Some people can build on a budget and drive and win, some people can build with money and win and some people have their car built with money and can't drive and never win.

Always amusing to see someone with no skills buy a tried and true race platform, throw money at it and slow it down. LOL!

70° is simply too much timing. wrench

This sport has always involved some serious money as you go up the ladder. But like said, someone will have to know how to maximize the potential of any money spent. Now if you can buy the right parts, and buy the right people, you get to wear the "Team Owner" hat. But you might be asked to just step aside and watch from your tv once in a while.

One thing you always notice in the pits, the fast guys are focusing on their own stuff, and the other guys are checking out what everyone else is doing...

IF you serious about calling me out,

Cecil county this spring, any Radial Prep test day you can make.

Ill Run my 275 to whatever size tire you can fit, heads up 1/8 mile, .400 pro tree, and if you want to put all kinds of stipulations on the race, you really don't want to race.

AND if you really serious, don't talk $hit on the internet, hide behind a screen/your I phone...call me direct 914-417-1312 and set this up
