I would like to say the same but the facts are the facts. Back in the day, when Daddy Warbucks 2 was running fast, Jimmy made it very clear that he was not happy and pushed us around then. When Roy Hill went fast he bitched and moaned about him. We have taken Daddy Warbucks 2 apart 9 times in competition. We have now taken the NA Cobra Jet apart 5 times. Jimmy has told me himself, that it was because of him. I understand he builds and runs the same combinations we do. We just wish his motors were as fast as ours so we could just race heads up instead of having to pull pistons out constantly.


As for going .120 under the index we did not try to do that. We put an extra 140lbs in the car and did not believe the air was so good. But when it happened we accepted the beating we took from the Michigan Mafia and decided to go to FS/C.
