Attitude 101
Stefan,,One would only have to admire your young and sticking your chest out attitude on this auto vs stick deal,,I of course realize where I am at and have always known even thogh you think not,,You say about not getting that type of attitude and all you have shown here is the same,,The only point I am trying to get through your head is a easy one,,Never and I mean never feel you are not going to be beat by a stick truck because its that same attitude that will give you the biggest let down of your "racing career",,See somewhere out there ,reading your rather overloaded posts and lofty claims, there is a stick truck with the same mods as yours with a driver that can row his manual trannie as slick as buttering a piece of bread that WILL educate you as far as a stick truck WILL run around you,,See the way I see it,you think,no,you know your truck is "unbeatable"by a evenly prepared manual truck and the beating will happen,all I can hope for is the person that hands it to you is from here so we all know the whole story,,By the way,as for the not seeing under the hood goes,do I detect some fear here??,,Worried that somebody else may have something you do not??,,Easy way to settle it,MUNCIE,,I think the three way dance is the way to do it(drags,sled pull and dyno shot),,Need some rules though, like this for example... ... .
1-Tagged,inspected and current insurance card
2-ALL factory equipment in tact and working
3-Engine compartment sealed at start of competition by a judge and only allowed to be unsealed in the event of breakage and repairs made in an area to be witnessed by a judge so no more changes are made
4-Street tires only,equal pressures for all trucks,no race tires and no modifications to tread or compound,also the same tires WILL be used for ALL events(this will eliminate the need for extra tires giving the little guys who do not play with cubic money a chance)
5-Trucks will be run at the FACTORY spec'd shipping weight,thus ruling out lightweight parts or panels
6-#2 fuel ONLY,single turbo charger no NO2 or Propane allowed
7-ALL competitors WILL run a set street milage run BEFORE any competition will begin after the tech men had sealed engine compartment thus making a level playing field for all those involved
8-Trucks will be grouped equally by mods/dyno numbers for competition
This will give some of us guys who lack cubic money to compete with the others and allow the real question to be answered,auto or stick who's better(Or maybe who's going to drive around the auto),,Just a few ramblings,any takers on it????
