Mark's car is an awesome piece. The attention to detail is outstanding on it, top to bottom. But then again most of these cars seem to be that way.

I am not going to ask the usual question "What was the air like?" a 61 is good anywhere. he qualified good, out ran dave R by a tenth (CFO power), Mark builds his own motors, buys parts from people who have a track record, and the results speak for themselves. Good job
cw

Not to mention Mark and his son built most of that car themselves.

That is great no matter! I agree

It is great to see Mark Running fast, he has been getting the short end of the "Stick" for way to long. Mark and his son spent 2 days at my shop on the Dyno and they are great people to work with.

The ONLY people who deserve the credit for Mark's performance is the Vieira's not the parts house or his neighbors Plumber or anyone else for that matter.
Great Job Mark!

Congrats

did you learn anything?

Yea as a matter of fact......I found out that the Ladies Foot Locker there in Parma will let you return those cute little slip-on shoes that you wear......I purchased a pair from your favorite shoe store last summer, But after Mark came down i figured out that i didnt need the pink slip-on's any more

I don't care who you are, thats funny....

you have another adoring fan?

Come on son your memory can't be that bad......What was it 3rd round i think, yea when Jenkins sent you packin after your loooong trip to Vegas circa 2007. I cant imagine what the shipping bill looked like from TCB to Jackson Drywall for all those Engine rebuilds....

Jenkins beat me there, one win doesnt make you a winner. At least none of my customers ever crashed their cars when their motors blew up. You talk a big game, time to start producing. Dave told me at vegas his record was like 7 runs on a motor. I just freshened rains motor (the #1 qualifier at vegas 08, and belle rose 08) it had 50 + runs on it and won the last race it was at, you remember when your motor blew up again. Just cause you have t-shirts with your name on them, doesnt make you king. You need to get to work cupcake.

Charlie, the 7 run people were the engine builder prior to CFO. I have had very descent reliability from the stuff I took to him, witch he wasn't thrilled about warming up some one elses stuff. I look forward to getting the new piece from him in the very near future so maybe I can compete again. Best regards Dave

My last reply to charlie
The facts:
#1 Jenkins sending you home was only an answer to your last question nothing more nothing less.

#2 Jenkins Did not crash his car as a result of an engine failure.

#3 I have had 5 posts previous to this pissin match, so i dont know where you came up with "You talk a big Game"

#4 209-571-1746 Is the number for TCB, ask for Dave and im sure he can explain the "7 pass record" from his previous Engine Builderzzzzzzz, your name is on that list!

#5 I have Built and Broken many engines....I have the Balls enough to say it.

The funny part about your "88 year old's" sewing circle is that the only thing you accomplished on here is to get your little pink panties in a bunch. Its the cheapest form of comedy!
The next time we have the pleasure of being at the same track you should come say hi and maybee we could have a Capri Sun together.
Later Dork!

guys, not to change the subject...
