In summary:
  • Buschur made some setup changes to the shop car. Some people like it, some people don't.
  • Kevin proved that good driving can beat a faster car.
  • I got a sunburn on Saturday, along with probably everyone else. It's healing nicely, thanks for asking.
  • Sticky tracks beat backwater track prep any day of the week.
  • Shep is still faster, even after he's given everyone over a year of downtime to try and catch up.
Any questions?

Kevin goes by "kiggly" He owns the fwd automatic DSM. He ran a 8.9 @157mph that day with issues with the car that he is still trying to sort out. On full kill Kiggly's FWD should go mid 8's without any issues.

David is not the first to go with a non evo rear end in there drag evo, no one was complaining when ams did it though. Sheps car has the 9 inch and everyone still considers his car the fastest awd dsm. These guys are all doing what ever it takes to race and to go fast. The truth of the matter is, if this was any one but David it would not be an issue. David is hated by alot of people for alot of reasons, i think that peoples personal opinion of his is clouding there decision on this matter.

When you are faced with 2 choices, something that will work and something that will brake, what are you going to pick? This is not reinventing the wheel here.

This isn't be riding Davids sack because truly i do not like the guy, but he is right on this one

Ford, Dana, Spicer, 3kgt, whatever its still an Evo.

There is no cheating where there are no rules.

That is your opinion.. what counts is what it runs for both ET and MPH.. Thats what the LIST is for..
