Yep... D-mutha fuckin 1 It won’t matter though...she will still run like shit. Even the trailing fender is poking out from behind the front wheel... I really gotta narrow that area a bit for pro cars. Had a helluva time with that goddam car... no time to even think straight with everything going on in my life. Just Happy if she makes an appearance there. I knew it !!! If you tell me you're running pre-09 wheels I won't have any choice but to smack you in the mouth.

So it would appear that some people do part with it. Yeah....the one guy who doesn't run an oil car.

Dying to see Alpo’s new car... he named it Welshonso! Ok, that is pretty good. Maybe he is OK after all. Good Luck everyone. I wish I could have gotten my cars done instead of being sidelined.

Yeah, I kind of wish I had cars to send, but it just wasn't happening with this move going on. Next year, though...assuming the Mid-Ams still exist, after Greg's ominous warning.

I gave Joe the rest of my D1. I didn't mess with it, I just refuse to use the stuff. So it would appear that some people do part with it. Well, if you say so. Y'all have been enjoying ragging on folks' D1 fixation for a while now, it seems like a vial of fake D1 would be the ultimate troll job. The D1 ragging is only because people think D1 is their magic bullet. Those people need to get their head outta their ass and realize that if the rest of their build/prep is not on par with the other top guys, D1 or no D1, they are not even sniffing page 1. So to say the lack of having the stuff is what is keeping them from winning championships is so far beyond delusional its ridiculous. Especially when they've never even gone up against the likes of JBD or Crane to see where they stand. It's just an excuse that no one is interested in hearing. As far as fake D1, I'd never do that to Joe. People may not realize, but Joe and I actually do get on very well. Sure we go at it from time to time, but in the end, we don't take each other too seriously. I have learned that we have similarly fucked up senses of humor. Something like the dive bar bathroom sign ordeal, which at first pissed me off, now makes me laugh. Xeeb mutha fuckin Xob!

I agree, almost all the speed is in the prep and build. I was talking to a local racer the other day and he thought he got beat at his districts because the other car had fenders and his didn't. He tested his car at the PWDracing shop and so I asked him what his time was. My cars are .06 faster than his without fenders either. It talking further with him there was a lot more he needed to be doing in prep to get faster. I still think that is where I will find more speed as I improve/refine my prep. Different oils and fenders will get you a little, but if you are .06 off you need to improve other things as well.

Wait, what Zeeb is protesting on here to free Alpo? I guess I just noticed it now. Look like it has been like that for awhile.

Makes you focus on the really important aspects before you start worrying about lesser concerns like aero. Also why I'm not terribly interested in aerodynamics at this phase of my PWD understandings.

Just Happy if she makes an appearance there. Who was it who sent you the D1? Was it Zeeb? Fonso? I wouldn't put it past either of them to send you water in a vial. Just saying. Ooooooohhhh.... Zeeb is a prankster alright... but I can always count on him to be Zeeb... and when it comes down to racing little cars... he is really serious about that stuff and I have no doubt that he sent the genuine and article. One of the nicest PWD gifts I have ever received... Peluso... if you can read this message... I am not concerned about the car... but don’t spill the oil!

Alphonso, What happened to the original Butter that was going place in the top 5 of Open Scout Graphite without any modifications?
