Guy in Town talking smack behind my back
 
Don't know if you guys remember a while back i raced that Mystic Colored Vortech'd stang..well he's been talking junk about my car behind my back. Alot of people in town were telling me that the only reason i won was because my car was so light :rolleyes: I see him at the store this afternoon and ask him about it..and he acts like he doesn't even know what i'm talking about?? So i say ok..well later on this evenign me and Ashley went to the DQ for some ice cream. One of the guys in town that hangs out spots me and says man He's over their talking trash again about your car. Man, i beat that cat fair and square and he's gotta hate on me like that?? :confused: :confused: :confused:

....
 
I couldn't give a rats @ss if someone talked crap about me. Everyone who saw the race knows who has the faster car. Sounds to me like he has a self-esteem problem that he needs to bolster :D

Eric4Nitrous 07-17-2002 10:09 PM

It doesn't bother me that much..what bothers me is that me and this guy were friends at one time. Even after the race I shook his hand and congratulated him. I admire anyone who will race me. Now he goes behind my back and starts dissin on me?? nah..not gonna work with me.

Radical,
Ummmm. Hmmmph. Looking at your sig, what guy can possibly talk smack about a Pro 5.0 ride that runs 200 MPH traps, and is about to break into the 6's? I say you ignore him, and say hey to us next time you're interviewed by a Mustang rag. Doesn't matter which one, we read em all.

Eric4Nitrous 07-17-2002 10:37 PM

Mean81GT i will definately give a shout out to you guys..thanks for the compliments.

Stroked408 07-17-2002 11:24 PM

Who Are You????
 
you know I follow Mustang drag racing pretty close for oh like the last 15 years,Radical what is your name if I may ask? I know of only a few people running Glidden gear,Derrick Smith,Walt McIntyre,Kurt Neighbor,and Bruce Hemmiger,I would just like to know who you are,it is obvious you are running a Pro class with 420 inches of Glidden magic under the hood and damn near 200mph.

69fastback 07-18-2002 12:53 AM

What a jerk off. I really can't stand people like that. I quess he couldn't handle the fact you whiped his butt. I don't see why people need to do that to make themselves feel better. I would just ignore the guy and let him say whatever. Or just go give him another but whipin and make sure everyone is there to watch.

tireburner163 07-18-2002 01:31 AM

I can't even fathom why he even thinks he can keep up with you at all......hummm.....blown street stang vs 1700hp all out race car....wow you won BIG surpise. Sounds like someone pissed in this guys gene pool.

The Deuce 07-18-2002 02:12 AM

Just ask him how much extra weight he wants you to put in the car to even things up. Maybe suggest letting his girlfriend/wife/mother/sister, whatever female he holds dear in the car alluding to the fact that she's so fat it would more than cover any weight issue.:D

Topless In Texas 07-18-2002 02:14 AM

waht an arse!!!!!!!!!!!
 
Who gives a flying fk how much your car weighs???? It could weigh 4K and you'd prolly still spank him! I'd take it w/ a grain of salt Eric...he's just JEALOUS!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :rolleyes: U got a BADAs$ car!!!!!!!!!!!! Dont let that sht get you down! :)
TNT :p

Stroked408 07-18-2002 07:54 AM

No Offense
 
Ok,
I am somewhat putting the puzzle together,I take your name is Eric,and you drive an 89 GT Pro car.

What NMRA races have you qualified for this year? Mostly all the NMRA cars that run Pro 5.0 are the new generation body style.

So once again please what is your whole name? The only Fox body style car I have seen at NMRA Pro 5.0 was the black former Bennett car that Chuck Samuels drove at Columbus for Glidden while his car was getting the roof repaired.

So one more time what event have you qualified at,and what is your last name?

I am just asking not giving you a hard time.

Mustangbelle306 07-18-2002 09:18 AM

Stroked408: Though I think you're sincerely asking a question (hence the no offense) I fail to see the significance of it. His last name or racing position, has NO bearing on the thread topic, and will not help you "figure out" how FAST his car is :rolleyes: Perhaps if you posted more often, you'd know that Eric just broke into the class, and isn't one of your seasoned big names.

Radical:

I have grown to not like Steve either. He was a really cool guy when I first met him, but the last time Matt and I were at Williamson Road, he was trying to set up a sham race with my friends nearly stock 2001 GT, and trying to lie and say he didnt have a blower. Well guess who was the first to spill the beans :D ( I later found out just about everyone did!)

Steve was trying to race for money and not only being WAY dishonest about it, he basically insulted everyone's intelligence by trying to pass off his cobra as a NA car. If any of you condone that type of behavior, good for you. I know in street racing you never give a full 'rap sheet of your mods, but to try and trick someone like that, **** that. That ain't a sport, that's cheatin.

Regardless, I lost alot of respect for him that day, and on other days when he would talk up a storm of ****, then make excuses and go home. Come to think of it, I've NEVER seen the guy race?! All of my other VA Stanger buddies have raced at one time or another (including me, don't ask if I won!!), except Steve! How intriguing...

Anyways, don't listen to that ***. Let him spew his BS, everyone round those parts basically knows what kind of a person he is.

Eric4Nitrous 07-18-2002 12:09 PM

Stroked408 The car itself has been in the process for a long time. The car has a Mike Duffy Chassis..etc etc. I contacted Billy about three years ago to build a Super Street Motor for me..at the time I was gonna make the car a 10.5 car. But plans changed..so I decided to build a Pro 5.0 spec car. That's when i contacted Billy. He said he could build me a 418 which was the same motor that he was building at the time. I agreed..and botta boom it was in the car running at local tracks around my area. Well the car had a pretty bad nitrous backfire so I send the motor back up to him and Had him go a little "bigger". The result is the 420 i have in the car now. I haven't made any NMRA races as of yet. I'm debating on just debuting the car at the NMRA world finals at Bowling green and making some passes. Or go on a full schedule and race all the NMRA races next year. I'm leaning towards next year because i don't have any sponsorship this year. I understand if it was confusing to you. If you don't believe me that's fine. MustangBelle..Steve is the kind of person you grow to hate. He's one of the cockiest people i have ever met. I didn't know that you knew him. So now you know how much of an ignorant ***** he is :(

MidNiteBlu 5.0 07-18-2002 12:57 PM

That guy sounds like a complete jerk off. I wouldnt worry about it though because i am pretty sure every knows your car would dust the crap out of his :D

It is sad that some people have to do **** like that.

Later,
Nick

Ackbar00 07-18-2002 01:25 PM

Let me get this straight. SC 96 Cobra vs. Pro 5.0 car? And this guy is mad because? Radical... this guy is just plain stupid. Id say avoid him at all cost because it might be bad for your image to be near such a fucck up!

HORSEMEN RACING 07-18-2002 03:02 PM

Pro car vs 96 SC Cobra......Why?
 
I am reading this and trying to figure out why would you even waste your time? You have a Glidden engine in your car,which probably cost between 35-50k and you were racing a car that does not even cost more than your engine?

Why would you even bother with imbecile unless you spotted him 12 car length's?

Last but not least I follow NMRA and FFW and I seen no harm in the questions that were ask,I do not think the other guy or lady was being funny or testing your integrity he or she was just asking a simple question,and no I do not post on here a lot myself just because people think that since they have this amount of post they are the cat's meow,only a few things get on my nerves and that is one of them.

Mustangbelle306 07-18-2002 03:56 PM

I agree that Radical should not even worry himself over this guy.

I was getting a little huffy over the questions because that is the SECOND post within the thread from the same person, and was completely unrelated to the topic. If the topic had been "How can I perform better in the Pro 5.0 class?" I can understand why he would be so admant about his questions. I don't know, I suppose I'm just overprotective :D

As for the post count, I don't think anyone really cares. But if there is someone with a REALLY low number that isn't even helping out in a thread, I tend to assume they don't have the board's "best interests" in mind ;)

Stroked408 07-18-2002 08:38 PM

Signature
 
Ok,
let's take a minute here to chill out,only reason I asked the question was I seen the signature,and I was curious who you are Radical I did not mean any offense.

When I seen your signature,and the 420 CID Glidden bullet it just raised some curiousity,because as you know there are a lot of people that come on these message boards that are phoney's.

For instance on AOHell in the Ford vs Chevy chatroom it was a guy in there that claimed to build Pro 5.0 cars,I aksed him what is the E.T range of a 25.1D chassis and he could not answer it(by the way it is 9.99-7.50) so of course he was found out to be a phoney.

I mean no harm,I just wanted to know before I started PM'ing you asking you what it was like to have Glidden build an engine,and does he do it for anyone. That's all,I am sure for the money he would be build an engine for the space shuttle.

I have a racers best interest in mind Drag Racing was here long before the internet,and hope it will outlast the internet,so hopefully that clears the air.

Crazy Horse GT 07-18-2002 09:41 PM

hahaha, i can take you in my 2k gt anyday, pal :rolleyes: i wouldnt evem worry about someone you smoked talking crap, just tell him your crew chief has the result's, heheh, let's rock. lol:eek: :D

Skyman 07-22-2002 02:02 AM

Do you really think he was talking smack? If I recall didnt something happen during the race when you two raced? And it was kinda close, cuz you got a bad R/T Or something? I dont really remember, but I thought there was something about that.


He wasnt sayin he beat you and he wasnt sayin anything bad about your car I dont think, saying its light.

People would say that all the time around here w/ their old muscle cars when I would beat em in my car. It kinda pissed me off at fist, but its just an excuse, its not really dissing you .
