Competition Calling Out The Edge Truck

[Dl5treez]

I'll volunteer 110% of my ability to wrench, think outside the box, tune, look and act professional to the first team that sends me a crew shirt.

So Keith, all kidding aside, are you going to come out and play, we are going to be in you back yard the end of March, the truck is on display at a casino , and the its Mopars at the strip . Hope to break in to the 7's there. It would be so cool to see some of that awesome Mega Mental EDGE hp. Maybe you could teach me a thing or two on the track. Show me how it’s done, and maybe all the people that think that your truck is the fastest could put a little money on it , I have a few charities that would really like the chance to gain a extra dollar or two. Ill even make a side bet on the average light, say $1000 same rules , any one on here want to take that one .

Greg, just have your crap together for IRP and I'll guarantee a race for all to enjoy. We'll leave money and charities out of this, your behavior doesn't warrant any publicity with a charity. On the other hand, once I have a contract signed from you and XXXX stating that you two will be at IRP, I will let the world know. But for now, keep June 24-25 open for the biggest-baddest diesel get together in the world! Oo.

. We'll leave money and charities out of this, your behavior doesn't warrant any publicity with a charity. .

And you would want the money going somewhere besides a good worthy cause. As in the race promoters coffers

. your behavior doesn't warrant any publicity with a charity. .

Its this self serving reason I will not run your race , but will run the NHRDA expanding race schedule in to that part of the country . as for my perceved behavior, this something you don’t understand , the real world is embracing me and diesels , and no mater how hard to try and tell them what a bad guy I am ,they keep coming over with money and recognition , that will allow me to stay ahead of the pact. And in the general publics eye.

On the other hand, once I have a contract signed from you and XXXX stating that you two will be at IRP, I will let the world know. But for now, keep June 24-25 open for the biggest-baddest diesel get together in the world! Oo.

You don’t have deep enough pockets to pay me to come to any dhra race with that aditude , and maybe XXXX has some one better building their power plants then the other two giants that tried to convert tractor technology to drag racing. In fact I let a little cat out of the bag the possibility of a big money race is being explores for that same time frame ,

 

[ob1kobi]

So whats the deal, you will only race on your terms or what?



You do nothing but run your mouth calling everybody out, and saying how your the fastest and nobody can beat you, but when somebody tries to get you to commit to a race, you let there attitude, that you happen to disagree with, keep you from running? Pure BS, all of it.



Show up or shut up Greg thats the bottom line. No more excuses.

 

[COMP461]

I'm still the fastest , any get to for now race on my terms . I will race any were but the dhra untill , someone else gets a aditude adjustment. end of story. we are working on a race in one of three central locations , and anyway you don't have a dog in this hunt.



you can blame once again the leadership of the dhra for the average person not getting to see me run at their function , but we will have a full race seasion this year , and if Keating and I run it will not be at a dhra event

 

[Timbeaux38]

Ted, you know that is never gonna happen. Greg has made it clear that he has his own agenda. This "calling out" (if that is what you wanna call it) is nothing more than Greg beating his own chest. I doubt he would even show up if the thing were to come together. This is nothing more than him trying to steal some of the spotlight from the Edge\DD truck. Everytime they get some press, Greg fires up this thread again. I am actually finding this pretty durn amusing. You know that saying..... Better to be quiet and look like an Idiot... ... .



Keep up the good work Greg, your attemps at PR are the best I have seen yet :-laf :-laf

 

[DHRA]

Oh Mr. Hogue, everytime I think it may be good to talk to you, or include you in all of the fun, you prove me wrong-I obviously have wasted my time.

 

[ob1kobi]

So what happens if Keating or Edge/DD won't run NHRA?



and by the way, I don't need a dog to be in this hunt, you posted this for our input. Sorry you don't like what you hear but that how it is in the "real world" jack.

 

[TxDieselKid]

I'm still the fastest...

in a tube chasis.

 

[RacinDuallie]

Greg,
Let's just say for instance that the guys that YOU say have been dogging you and avoiding a match race at your calling out-of decide to actually run and they 'choose' to only run at a DHRA sanctioned only events? Then whatcha gunna do?

And here is another thing to consider- You are not the 'marketing genius' that you lead on to believe, why would you cheat out your promoters and sponsors by segregating yourself to being available to only one sanctioning body? I would think that by running as many events as possible, would get the advertising that your sponsors desire and heck ya might even just pick up even more sponsors on board which would mean more money flying around to 'play' with and better the whole program that your running over there and enhance the promotion of diesels as well as 'other' possible endeavors that we know spring up from- good promotion... ... .

I remember back when real class racers would run NHRA event then go run an AHRA event and/or IHRA event- it didnt matter who, what, where, when it was all in the name of promotion... .

If it was me and I had the access to your friends riches like you do and was able to think outside the box with an unlimited budget of 'someone elses pocket' to develop a program and compete with- I'd be running anywhere- against anyone- anytime- at any and all racing sanctioning bodies that would allow me to tear it up!

And remember the saying: Action's speak louder than words... .....

And here's another great one: Speak softly, but carry a big stick... ... .

 

[JR2]

Okay I give up, COMP you are a GOD. Your truck is the fastest diesel powered tube chasis in the entire world and you are the best diesel powered truck driver in the world. No one in the entire world is better, not Edge, Not Keating, Not Fletch, NO ONE IS BETTER THAN YOU. As a matter of fact if it where not for you the earth would not rotate correclty on its axis.



So now that I admit it will you stop posting all the I'am the best, look at me, I am so fast crap. Someday you are going to get beat and I can not wait for that day.

Guess that "cutting edge" Common Rail block isn't cutting it in the HP department.

 

[Sled Puller]

, that will allow me to stay ahead of the pact. QUOTE]

You aren't ahead of any pack. You are in a league alllll your own.

Well said JR! :-laf

Beat chest/self proclaim/talk smack... ... claim conspiracy/bad attitude/lack of {insert bs here}/too busy/etc... /etc... /etc... . let the dust settle down... post a few pics...



Restart chest beating-excuses/crying-no show cycle... .



I am seeing a pattern here

Translation: Eric didn't KMA so I'm gonna take my toys and go home.



Get over it Comp. Your conduct on this board is probably a large indicator as to why people are hesitant to work with you. "Attitude adjustment", come on! Whaddya got a "mom complex"? News flash, you didn't give birth to diesel performance.



After the no show last year, I would advise any promotor even thinking of working with you to get the details in writing. Other than telling you to cut the crap, I see nothing even remotely offensive in that post. Heck, thats what every other reply to this thread has been about. Cut the crap, show up and have a good time. Period.



The DHRA is way more than one person, as is any sanctioning body. If you want to let that stand in the way of some serious publicity, go ahead. It sounds like they've already got a couple tube trucks anyway. (one of which is currently the fastest all motor). It'll be a good show with or without you. ESPN2, thousands of diesel heads, bah, you don't need that anyway. You're COMP461. The fastest keyboard in TX. Every one'll come to you.



RacinDuallie you're right... marketing just ain't his thing. Do you suppose that could explain his supposed media blackout conspiracy??? Nah, it must be Edge. They've even got their own secret society, I've heard. "The Black Chip Monks. " Robes, hoods, gregorian chants, the whole works. The Illuminati got nothin on those boys. They's real powerful. :-laf



And another thing... . Comp, how come in one breath you're Mr. workin' man cant get a fair shake. Bla, bla, bla. "I built this whole truck myself cause I don't have money for a team. The engine program is slowed by funding. " And in the next, you've got $5k to toss around. And "the checks are flowing. " Pick one. Either you're as big as you say you are with all that money fame and sponsors, or you're like most everyone else on this board, piling their own cash into what can be loosely contrived as a proportional paycheck racing program. Ya cant have it both ways.



No one cares how much you give to charity. As much as you talk about it, its obvious you're doing it for the wrong reasons anyway.
