Best of luck Gach! Wishing you all the best when you get the chassis sorted out and get the car back on the track.

Putting any kind of program together on your own, with your available time/budget is a challenge, and sharing it with others, of course opens you up to potential criticism.

Run your own program, on your own time, don't listen to the naysayers.

Cheers,
Brian.

Figure it is all B.S. Not 1 word about it on his site. If I was getting my junk together for a big run to shut up a bunch of guys on another site I would certainly post it on my own board.

Which program are you talking about? The one he developed in the late 90's posing as a racer with a pic from the previous owner of his car? The one that took him 12 years to produce one pass in the 9.80's at Atco? Or the one he's been working on since that sole pass at Atco 2 years ago?

The car is 80% finished...I ran out of money, it's ture (pun intended). Unlike you however, I've never pretended it was finished and made false claims about racing it.

And that's "MOTTO" not "MATO".

Your kidding right???????????? Like people on here don't know what it cost to build a car to run a certain nymber.

Then he makes statements like it just a hobby & isn't the first priority?
Hello............... I don't know of anyone on here that does it for a living.
This isn't about what it cost. It's about his 9.45 pass and OVER 2 years later hasn't been to a track to back up a pass that NO ONE ever heard about till 2 months later or saw.

Besides ya wanna talk about running a certain number, then you have certain expenses to get there. He didn't seem to mind spending money on heads, dyno time, cam, IA block, etc. Didn't mind spending money on a HOT TUB. Going out to eat, a bottle of vino, etc, etc,

I predict that Gach will show up (weather permitting).

I think he'll run a best of 9.50 NA, but will dip in the 8.70's on the bottle.

I'm Laughing...because you guys are so obese with this..it's like your watching my ever move...ever word I say...it's obvious there's a short list of guys who have an agenda..I call it the PY posse. Dude: I've had at least a 1/2 dozen guys tell me...after seeing you trashing me every chance you get...they now have second thoughts and won't ever do business with you. Keep it up, It's good for customer relations. Your the ring leader in all this Dude...the rest are little followers sniffing your butt. But you will ultimately pay the price. Not even two days after I ran the 9.80 your on PZ accusing me of mixing my gas to run that 9.80. Planting the thought that I wasn't really ruing pump gas..Days before that...your telling guys...ah...he'll never run in the 9's at best he'll run a 10.30.

here's what I posted...on PZ..Now Dude how many people have $20,000.00 to throw around....not many.

Quote:
I thought it was a little much..but he is scaling the car and notching the frame so I can fit the diaper easily. Plus putting stops in the front end. So maybe that price isn't so bad after all.

$1100.00 cage
$200.00 ceritfy what's there
$200.00 to receritfy once the cages is done
$200.00 track rental
$250.00 for lic
$350.00 round trip
$300.00 for the diaper
Well over $2500.00 by the time I'm done.

Everyone wants to know why your not out racing. LOL. Oh and don't forget the having to pay for a wedding $18,000.00
I'm srue everyones got $20,000.00 to thro around
Like it's nothing.

I can't wait to get certifed so I can SPRAY!. Now it's just a matter of some chassis tuning. Who gives a chit about runing 9.40's when You can run mid 8's. It's always been my goal to dial it in on motor...then spray and run 8's.
I'm laughing...because once the car is certifed to run 8.50's I'm spraying...what are you A-holes going to say then..

The PY Online Forums is the largest online gathering of Pontiac enthusiasts anywhere in the world.
