I don’t post much because no one wants technical advice from someone who has trouble differentiating between a #4 & #6 Allen wrench. I just know #4 is yellow in the box, and #6 is orange. I have run enough heats as a racer though, and recognize who are good racers, and who need a little more work. Anyone who talks smack, and has no boat or experience to offer to the competition, in my mind probably needs a little more work. I was pitting for a guy last year, and I asked him where he wanted to be at the start. His answer was “it really doesn’t matter”. My answer was “yes it really does matter”. When I read some of the posts by the person who talks smack (with no boats to race), I again hear that same voice in my head say “it really doesn’t matter”. So put down the key board, get a boat, and come to school. We go to the tunnel champs every year because there are 20 + drivers that are capable of winning, not just a few class favorites. I don’t have much smack talk for you all, but I have 6 classes I’m running this year, so I won’t be hiding behind a keyboard.
Shaw I’m guessing you’ll be better this year than last (you ran real good for a rookie). So I trained real hard for you this year, even put another inch on my biceps, in case I need to drag you into the bushes and teach you a little respect. Just remember at the start when I ask you were you want to be, say to yourself “it really doesn’t matter” because your boats are that fast.
