I poked some fun at him once, in one of his tuning debacles, he sent me a PM, didn't take it well at all. I replied to him I was sorry he had no sense of humor, I've never mentioned once about his Prius... Guess I can change my Beach Boys song in my signature now...

I don't usually read the race forum as often, but now I want to read this guy's threads.

Oh Boy, that's pretty danged funny

The problem that this fella Rich has had is that he seems to have an irrational fear of using any sort of decent camshaft! Stump Puller? Oh Jeez, that would be way too radical and way over the top!

The guy is probably in his late 50's early 60's. I think he'd have a hard time just try to get a gaming console hooked up not alone play any game! I think he has a hard time just getting dressed in the morning.....

Rich is actually a nice guy, he just get frustrated really easy, and seems to be short on patience when it came to ET result from his car, not realizing how much the drivers reactions, if the car is hooking or not, shift points ,etc, affects your ET, his car just isn't living up to its potential for whatever reason, and he thinks it parts and not tuning, driving like most of us do.

Don't talk like you haven't been there! I've watched you try to get dressed a couple of mornings - I think it's why your wife buries her head under the pillows!

I don't agree with Rob B I think Rich is the second smartest Pontiac guy out there. The first being Lou Gach.

Damn, Guys! Go easy on him. I'm sure he's reading this thread. He seems like a nice enough guy- just a little too damn stubborn to listen to the advice he got here, over and over.

His car has so much potential, it's a damn shame that he never takes the time to find it before throwing more new parts at it.
