You’re pretty pompous for a guy that rides the coat tails of his kid. Get a car, come race, have fun, in the meantime you pretty much havnt contributed anything positive to this post or anything your ever post frankly. You seem to know everything and prove nothing yourself other than what your son has accomplished. For the record stock and super stock isn’t just filled with “old guys” and that’s pretty disrespectful to our fellow racers. Maybe go in the garage, work on your pretend stocker, and shut your trap.

Ed, if you decide to start driving in stock please give me a heads up so I can cancel my plans for the year. No one stands a chance against you

\why, what issue do you have that you are trying to bandaid?

Didn’t you just scatter your Pontiac motor all over the track? , yes we have pics..
Maybe an Accusump could have helped you?

You aren’t racing stock or Superstock so stop with your agenda..

You were tossed off YB! Wow!
You were tossed off DRR
Three strikes??

Years ago running a small block Mopar we broke a rod about 7,000 RPM, the rod took out the oil pump.

The accumulator kicked in long enough to keep the engine oiled and saved the crank and the other rods.

So yes they can save parts.

Barry, race engines can and do break when you actually race which you don't. It ain't the first and won't be the last engine that fails due to a component failure and no an accusump wouldn't have prevented it. Further, the engine had over 150 passes on it when it failed something you and most stock racers don't log in 3 seasons no mind a single season.

Omg! Swing and a miss…
I do race if you actually look.
I make and own my issues.
I’m not going to banter with you it’s pointless .

JR’s post deserves better I’m done!

no one cares and no one cared about your opinion over at DRR either!
