Those who know Richard realize he has done a lot of work and learned a lot. There will always be one or two who have to sneer, but they also make about half as much power, it seems. Of course their brother's cousin's uncle's friend knows company X whose service truck makes more. Those envious people then switch allegiances to match the current champ near where they live, and say "WE did such and such. " "We" meaning someone else in that half of the country, who probably won't even recognize the big talker.
Richard has competed at many dyno events. Sometimes he won. Sometimes he "lost" meaning only that someone else made more power, not that his truck was weak. He is always a gentleman, and remains so despite unwarranted sneering. Let us hope that high standard will be taken up by those who have been criticizing and belittling others' accomplishments.
