Its just the way of this board unfortuantely... quite lawless... its all good though, we will have our satisfaction

Im sure LB will be at the race... you can have your choice words with him then... Other than that, going back and forth just feeds into them... real manipulative.

Back to topic...

Ive seen a few recent post stating that they think that Mynes isn't following through... to the contrary... instead of one car, they are bringing two... maybe more... who knows, but what you can bank on is Mynes/ABF being there... If you question it, why not ask them... Im sure that they wont brush you off as Ive seen from some other vendors...

I agree with you. Some young adults, I guess, are still children mentally. (which is obvious by there comments). They just get a thrill out of getting into other peoples business.
My guess is that they get pushed around, or get no respect in the real world so they pump up there internet muscles and do it where theres no repurcussions

The mods finally stepped in and shut them down last night which was good to see. These clowns were really starting to make this thread look childish.
Good job looking out guys

Jan wasn't saying that his car won't have a/c, he was simply saying that Mike's car can have no a/c if he wishes. Basically, Jan is beyond confident that he will blow away the competition so he's setting a set of "the rules are there are no rules" for his competition so that they have no excuses if he wins as he is expecting to.

Sorry to disappont. I'm not Jason. As for spelling. You ever type that much info from a phone? ask jan it's a pita

I am not someone who cares either way about this sc vs turbo thing. I do know that the people who originally designed all the stuff jan now has have a better shot than someone packaging stuff.

If jan would have been more upfront from the start I think there would be allot more fun going on in this competition.

So have terms been reached? You ladies need an out side party to do it for you?

That and your your extreme sensitivity to anythings MeMs related. Go back and read Jason. Nobody has said anything bad about your MeMs or your work on it. Take a deep breath.

So you really need to add vendor to your sig so everyone knows who the guy is throwing around all the smart *** comments.

Oh ya, I suck at spelling and punctuation like you. Spell check is your friend

It would seem post #2 say's it all. Two classes, one ANYTHING goes, two, mostly stock, which makes sense for us normal people that might actually spend money on modding our cars. Only weird thing on the second class is the 2800lb. min weight limit, whats that about?

Big Shows with no air con and no rear seats with a 160lb person in weighs 2700lbs

We just weighed Tristos with him in it (160lb) and that has aircon with moon roof and it weighs 2787lb

so I would say 2800lb with driver would be a better bet, but 2750lb would be ideal to allow people to have bucket seats.

Regulations are very simple.

See http://www.redlinetimeattack.com/200...lesV.2.3.2.pdf

Pick a class and build to the regulations specified.

To my understanding, that is the plan. Idk what everyone else is saying or implying that Mynes is making excuses. Cough*Jan*cough.

Jan, you put out good products and whether they are your own or rebadged I really don't give a shyt, they work, point blank. However, your arrogance about the supposed superiority of your products over another vendors is simply unprofessional and unnecessary. You have to understand that there WILL be competitors in the industry and there is a big enough market for several of you. Let your products do the talking, no need for the arrogance or your entourage of fanboys flaming others.

But, hey, what do I know? I'm just a potential customer.
