Chris I talked to you breifly at the show and Im not an expert in any way but one thing I noticed is that the door margins to the front fenders didnt match per side gap wise. Did somthing shift autocrossing I didnt notice this the first time i looked at the car. But I will say the black is one of the best Ive seen, great depth in color.

I saw it on Sunday when I was checking for bad bodywork and poor fit and finish on the top 5 cars. (refer to earlier posts in this thread)

here is my take on it all .
the top 2 cars were , troys nova and rings camaro ! hands down .....
then all of the other cars ! 2,3,4,5 place is not a happy place for me .

i also read the rules and thought troy was permitted a little xtra time to fix his car , so what . he had one of the 2 best cars on the show grounds . so by letting troy try to fix his car it made it a fight for the top spot !

if i have any bitch about the outcome it was that the 72 red cuda was not in the top 5 . that car was as nice as a troy or ring car .

I don't have a dog in this fight but I found this interesting.

Just thought I'd put these two quotes together to show the irony in them.
It's the same attitude that allowed the judges to break the rules for someone with a certain name.

For what it's worth, if you allow people to break the "rules" why have rules at all?

fessler was running his mouth all weekend , and before the event started .
fessler did not have a dog in this fight ! or did I . he wants to go on here and say how perfect his car was and bash others cars . i dont play that game .

if the 2 best cars show up and have probems give them time to fix what they need so they fight it out to see who had the best car ! if troys car was not allowed to enter it would be like " shooting fish in a barrell "

This is the last thing I'll say on the subject, as this is going to head south real quick.

How is what you are saying any different than what you claim fesler has said?

You are basicaly saying everything else that was there was ****. Let me grab the quote so you can't say I am putting words in your mouth.

So again, the rules apply to only those that didn't havethe name troy. Does that about sum up your argument? If it is then that is ok, but please just come out and say it.

Default wow


sounds like sniper has gotten sniped out of a pros pick or two.
This happens at racetracks every Saturday night. Here's a nice "pit gate" sign for you. It ain't about the rules. It's about sportsmanship. Instead of whining, grab a wrench and help Troy get his car running right, then go out and beat him fair and square. THAT's sporstmanship.
if they kicked him out friday, and it was not troy/ring on top, whoever bumped into troys spot would of had a tainted 2nd place plaque, with everyone muttering "if troys cars tranny didn't act up" so they gave him some time to make it and in the end the best car won, which was a car with no issues.

Default sportsmanship

SPORTSMANSHIP

kenny isn't bashing anyone, and if he was he was bashing himself included.
kennys got class, which apparently you or fesler do not
