For the most part the comments in public are positive. The same goes for the track. You get a few people who say they wouldn't spend $3600 for 5 more horsepower, but I don't usually worry about explaining to them what you really get. It's not worth it and it's their opinion.
Last night though, I ran into a guy that I have met a couple times. He is pretty good friends with my buddy that was with me at the track. The guy has been bracket racing for about 12 years and I respect that. He started with a V6 powered Baby LTD and moved up to a somewhat built 302 in the same car. As a matter of fact I gave him a lead on parts when he was putting the V8 in the car. One of my good friends, I believe, sold him a rearend for it and other parts. Hey, I'll help out people I don't even really know :smile: He obviously didn't remember me, which is typical of alot of people you help out.
Well, I overheard a comment he made to my buddy at the track. "That turd weighs 3900 pounds." I thought to myself, Oh, you're the f'ing authority? This is courtesy of MM&FF people. They did everything they could to badmouth this car, and it seems to have reached the everyone. It really p*ssed me off
I'm not sure if I was more p*ssed at him or MM&FF. I thought about saying something, but it simply isn't worth lowering yourself to argue with the ignorant population, they will beat you with experience.
Thanks again to the worthless piece of $h!t MM&FF for printing garbage
