Quote: as a person that has spent days on end without any sleep in 06 and 08 drag week, this is a poor excuse for not making it.
there are guys on this site that spent 16 straight hours trying to help Eddie get his car ready the day before drag week 09
twice I worked on Eddies car for 15 straight hours after a 10 hour ride to his place and leave at the last second to drive 22 hours to get to Drag Week just in time
this is 3 years of you making claims that you are going to bring a bad ass mopar and have failed to do it. and this excuse is just the worst.
In the past three weeks, I have completely torn apart my engine, sweating my a$$ off, don't have 2 pennies to rub together, yet still dumped $1200 in my slow junk just to make the show
all hype. the car made magazines for doing nothing like most do.
Right this minute I'm waiting for my good friend and his girl and kids to show up and stay the weekend at my house and spend some time at the beach. I met this good friend at Drag Week 06 and spent many sleepless nights helping him on the side of the road.
did you read what kind of effort Leon and Billy's family put in to making the show?
DJ, I am sorry, but I just don't think you have it in you
Mr. P, this in no way is directed at your situation. I know your on a fixed income. IMO, If you want to play with the big boys, less talk more action
I think that was pretty un called for. DJ's ride is a very special piece just getting the proper parts will take time let alone all the work to get it done and tuned right. He's not looking at $1200 dollar repairs here. Him giving up his spot now so someone else can get in and still have some time to get ready is good sportsmanship. I have never heard DJ say one bad thing about anybody on any of the sites out there. He's one of the good guys and he is a Mopar guy why would you try and call him out. Sounds like your situation only requires some time and effort his is a lot more complicated.
