The new Hot Rod Mag -- Optima Coverage

[coolwelder62]

Everybody that competed at pahrump should not be embaress.Not all of us are pro drivers.But all of us have nice cars.Mine is not a million dollar car .Just a project I built in my own garage all by myself w/ some help of a few good friends. At a cost less than a new 2010 camaro.I would be willing to bet if some of us could get Ron Fellows or Boris Said to wheel our cars the out come would have been differant.I belive my son Kevin was faster on the autox than Paul Tracy.Kevin & I had a great time.We will try and get some more seat time in 2010 and give it a try next november.

David is a good guy.. I just think he likes to stir the pot and our cars are not "his thing"

I totally agree. David is just trying to create a buzz by becoming a lightning rod on which to capitalize. After all, that's his job.

And he's quite good at what he does.

I will agree with you there...don't quite understand what their point is there.

The Cobra beat me by .7 seconds or something like that in the 0-60-0 contest.. I hardly felt "embarrased"

The Cobra beat the DSE 69 being driven by Ryan by less than a second on the road course.. i doubt any of the DSE crew are "embarrased" by that.

Ryan and DSE deserve a LOT of credit!
An amazing run for a full-on street car with probably 1200 lbs more weight than the Cobra.
