Almost sounds like when you lose a Top Fuel engine... you get lots of really small souvenirs and couple bits of wall art.

You know the crazy part, well one of them, is when you guys were at T-Hill. I was texting with Aaron on how it was going, and he said it was puking oil out of the tank breather. I suggested checking the tank cap, assuming an air leak, because that's normally what makes them puke. Never in a million years would I have guessed they plumbed in a PCV, putting a HUGE air leak in the system. That's dry sump 101.

Please keep showing everyone how the self proclaimed master of all things race car, screwed up even the simplest of task.

Yeah Craig — I have to say the more we get in to the car - the worse it gets..... There simply isn’t a single system that was done right. No coolers on anything... motor burnt up - wiring burnt up.... Dry sump is on so you DO NOT suffer oil starvation.... but then, that’s assuming you know how to plumb one.

HA! What a joke that S.O.B is.

Let's cut him some slack, he may actually have built over 200 race cars...



...he just sniffed too much glue while building them.

Reading this thread and the original build thread just makes me shake my head in disbelief. I *almost* drank the "secret sauce" kool aid over a year ago and was about to order a floater rear end from Ron but got an odd feeling at the last minute and ordered a currie instead. I've already used all my luck with Frank at Prodigy... I was one of the lucky ones who actually received all my parts from him before that house of cards collapsed.

I feel really bad for Greg and everyone else who was taken for a ride.

Looking forward to the testing of the rebuilt car!

To this day I'm still amazed at everything that went down. And I'm just a long distance bystander.

I look forward to the day you get to take the first lap in v2.0.

Somewhere my free RSRT sema shirt is on the shelf at a goodwill store. I hope the poor bastard that gets it doesn't get cursed.

I just love Greg's straight forward analysis of what happened during his build.... Usually everyone is afraid to really call out and explain the B.S. they got and "PAID" for.....

ME TOO!!! Because my one and only “stint” in the car - was a rip around the city streets behind where it was built —- and I couldn’t make it back to the shop..... because all the throttle wiring was melted....

That should have been my first clue — there were MANY....

Agree with your curse comment.... there’s a long line of folks over a number of years and businesses he’s had that haven’t faired so well.
