The stuff you get from people like Huntsville MIGHT be "OK" for a bracket car but too me bracket racing isn't racing. To be honest unless the engine builders initials are LGF, R/M, B.Jenks., JK, BAE, or SP chances are YOU'VE GOT A PILE OF SH*T!
RM is no different then Huntsville all these places build what you would call a crate motor just basic parts that makes good tq/hp and they all build custom built motors to the customers specs. Fact is I want someone who builds these quote on quote crate motors because they last 100's of passes without doing nothing but oil changes and checking lash. Of course I am a bracket racer and not a real racer so what do I know :!: |

The only five I come up with is fivestarcars doubt its him. Just think its a heads up racer ( can tell by the talk and engine builders he named off) bashing on bracket racers. Dont see me bashing on heads up guys do ya ??? He should remember he is on a "racing" forum and we welcome, racers of all kind on here. :lol:

Well said everyone. I will be the first to admit that I am not an expert as i am learning more & more from people like you. I have only been down the track a few times... worked on my car FAR more than I will ever drive it! Weather you are new to racing our an expert, I think the same principals should apply... & like I said before, PLEAD YOUR WHOLE CASE. Otherwise, it is probably not the builders fault. I have only truley destroyed one HP engine... "excessive RPM" spun a bearing & some other damage too. IT WAS MY FAULT!! Case & point: don't blame others unless you can back up your story!! Why try to attack someones integrity if you can't even tell the whole story... not cool. JMO- Rigsby AKA Scooter

"nice first post" I like to make an entrance! "which of these builders do you work for" LOL Last time I checked purchasing an engine means THEY are working for you. "Only 6 people in the world know how to build bullet proof engines" Yes sir, give or take. I throw in BG too but like I said before a "good" engine most anyone can build, just not a "great" one. "edit your post to something believable" So you're saying someone like LGF don't build better motors than people such as Huntsville? Talk about a "silly slip of the tongue"! I'm doubting the TRUE "top notch" builders will forgive YOU! LMAO! Guess i'll just have to buy a REAL engine from a proven name like LGF or RM, real bummer lol! "Bracket Racing isn't racing" I wouldn't call losing for going faster racing??? You do??? "Eat my donuts" Quit that before you SH*T yourself!

"can't catch a light, drive the big end, or has never bracket raced" ROFLMAO! .500 lights are for ameteurs and a bracket "racer"(or anything bracket "racing" for that matter) driving the big end gets me about as excited as having a wedgie. JMO!

Is this guy related to Hilldo ?
|
"he's a bench racer" Hmm I SERIOUSLY doubt that but I see YOU are on the forum too??? "put his own money in a car" LOL i've probably forgot about more cars than you'll ever have! Now go play with your matchbox!
