Jason, I've also been following your stuff and you seem like a stand up guy and very professional. Best of luck with your products.

That being said, some of your "followers" on here and on PT are not doing you much justice with many of their posts and attitudes. :rolleyes:

Opinions should be taken with a grain of salt.... When I read a post by someone I always say to myself.... How many cars has this guy/gal built... How long have they been doing this? What's their real life experience? Something they read on the internet or have they actually done "whatever".

I remember when my kids where taking martial arts classes... the sensi used to tell them - "when you want to know something - should you ask your parents? Your Teacher? Your Grandparents? Or should you ask your buddy that's in the same class you are"?

I'll use Todd as a model -- he was having knock back issues -- he was actually running the crap out of his car -- he was trying various "fixes" -- and testing those fixes... and reporting the results. That's not an opinion - that's real world knowledge. I listened because he was in the fight.

For me it's about asking questions that have been formed from experience in hopes that a less experienced member won't buy an inferior part. We've all seen the sales pitch and parts that don't deliver. People around here are getting more knowledgable and demanding parts that are actually tried and true due to these questions. It's a great thing moving forward for the hobby.

I looked at the GMR set up and it looks damn nice. We have multiple options that weren't available a year ago. Time will tell which rises to the top and proves reliable in this venue. I still like the ZR1 hub set up even though it's not a floater.

JSM...are you Badride? If so, did you move out of Cali? If not, you two would get along great...:lol:

As I hope we all know....these words we type sometimes come across in a tone that was not meant....plus I am a little stubborn and believe in what I believe in. I actually harbor ZERO bad feelings toward my critiques and actually hope some day soon (I am working hard at it) I can rub elbows with the "respected" big dog REAL racers of this site....until then I guess I will be viewed as the "Floater Villain". Later Ron! :cheers:

Oh sorry almost forgot....yes am BADDRIDE on PT and have homes in CA and AZ....great I am exposed!

Thanks for the kind words Baddride. Post up some pics of your Nova so guys here know what you're about.

Posts on the net, or in texts for that matter, do not always convey tone or intent as they would when a couple dudes are throwing a couple back and bench racing. As I said before, you are a committed customer (I think, no ownership interest or shilling right?) and that is a good thing. You also have alot of knowledge about Jason's product and floaters in general. I think to avoid a repeat of the thread on PT, show what you know and why you think it's a superior product. Don't get your feathers ruffled if anyone disagrees - parts is parts, right? - and you'll win some over here.

I like you dude. Tell Jason I said hi, and welcome to Lat-G! :cheers:
