Let's take a look at the situation: most of us posting here race currently in Club racing, and a few of us have or do currently race in Pro series. Frank, on the other hand, has raced a couple times, ruining multiple cars (while denying he has ever at fault despite everyone else disagreeing) and has skipped multiple races already this year ("his year"). And then, when he tries something that isn't racing, he manages to blow up a motor and ruin the track for all the rest of the competitors, also claiming it wasn't his fault even though experienced racers on multiple forums say that it is.

We'll see who have the last laugh at 2013. Of course, if it goes my way, I will collect it earlier than 2013... laughing all the way to the bank. W00 h00.

No, more like running away from your own bet.

I sincerely doubt you will be doing any laughing in 2013.

Meanwhile, in 2007, you are the laughing stock of the automotive internet.

The WRX didn't blow up because of driver's error what so ever. The owner knows it and apologized to me for the car failing. Any of you with some mechanical knowledge should agree... 95+F weather, turbo car with high boost, and NO OIL COOLER?! No oil pressure gauge? No oil temp gauge? That is just nuts.

And, since you clowns can't appreciate how fast a 2:00.x lap is at Buttonwillow. I googled for some results, and this is off:

Now, it just says Buttonwillow CW. So it is possible that it's not the same config but I highly suspect it is #13CW which is the most popular config for BW. There config would be #1, which on the track records page shows it is properly noted at Buttonwillow CW "with Star Mazda".

Now, the WRX I drove was in the Street AWD class. It weights at least 3400 lbs with me in it. We ran Falken Azenis RT615 full thead.

Now you clowns go run at the same config, in Street tires, and you come back and post your results.

what has this got to do with you being a moron and oiling a track when it could have been avoided?

I will post mine, and it is just as valid as yours. You didn't run a 2:00. Your computer software assumed it was POSSIBLE from that car. On that same basis, I theorize that I can run 1:30 in the same car. Beat that GhettoRacist. LOL

Now, it just says Buttonwillow CW. So it is possible that it's not the same config but I highly suspect it is #13CW which is the most popular config for BW. The other config would be the longer config #1, which on the track records page shows it is properly noted as Buttonwillow CW "with Star Mazda".

Now, the WRX I drove was in the Street AWD class. It weights at least 3400 lbs with me in it. We ran Falken Azenis RT615 full thead. The first place and 2nd place cars are sponsored shop cars 1 = Evo8/9 from RobiSpec (excellent Evo tuner) and GSC motorsports. 2 = Harmon Automotive STi (late model). Henry's car is a true daily driver and he build it piece by piece with his hard earned cash over past 3-4 years. Our result speaks volumes for Henry's ability to put together a speedy little daily driver that really never saw any test times (Henry himself track the car maybe only 3-4 times prior and he's a novice DE driver).

Now you clowns go run at the same config, in 95+F day, on Street tires, and you come back and post your results.

On the bright side, we are working with new sponsors already and this time, the car will be reborn as a more seriously prepped "time attack" car. Long live the ugly bug eye'd Impreza. haha.

Just because your old tard butt can't put up lap time anywhere close to your theoretical lap times doesn't mean a bad *** driver like myself can't. The car failed us. The driver was doing just fine.

I understand you GR. I am sure that's why I didn't podium my first race, or my second, or . . .

My, what a bizzare little world you must live in there, GhettoRicer. Oiling up a track and ignoring the corner workers. That's doing just fine?

GR lives his entire life as a theoretical lap...it's all about what could be, not what it is
