I am shocked that it took this long for this to come up.
Sadly, this thread will not make 25 pages.

The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly... and then there's the Kibbort. How would you like to be stuck in an elevator with him debating something?
MK is an ***; and wherever he is right now is being an ***, and planning to be more of an *** tomorrow.

Tire pressure PSI based on section width. We had a few spirited debates on that one too.

But that was Ed Ruiz, not MK.

Ed's laughing, retired in Spain I hear. But alas, no GT. Not even a 86.5 to ruin with no oil.

Some say he was the father of modern physics, and his favorite tread pattern was "cord", but we just knew him as The Kibort!

He never stooped to name calling, and he was never, ever unsure.
He could prove both sides of a point using base K math, and once won a argument with a Dixie cup.

I dont buy it. Just no way.


Although I -am- 300 miles away, and have never driven your car, there's just no way your car did that.

The recording system you're using is known to be really poor measuring performance..that way.

Well as the director of competition at NHRA said, you really can not trust your optical data.

All I know is this.......when we raced at Sears in "lemons" we ran with no fans AT ALL for about 4 hours....I reviewed the video from Sunday and the 1st 2 stints NEVER turned on the fan...there were times on track when it was pegged at 300F.... when i sent the oil in for analysis after the race there was ZERO indication of overheating................. scary really.... Over 30 HOURS on track since then and the engine is fine.....If you want amsoil for your race this weekend CALL ME on my cell.... I think I can get it to you in time..... Its about $120 for 12 quarts + the overnight shipping.... I run racing 15-50..high zinc content too....

As much as I would love to get in on this, I have never met any of you and without knowing your group better it would be more rude then funny.

ILL pick on Mark during our next argument on which is faster, boxers or a thong.

Brian dont get me wrong. I'm not debating anything Mark K stands for. I'm just poking him while his hands are tied.
