The way I see it is the Car Owner is an IDIOT and the Driver is an IDIOT...Pretty simple!

I think a racer and car owner did what they wanted to do with their car and their money. Now turn it up and do it some more.

It has already been said that Wilkes was sandbagging until the car owner had a change of heart.

Will those HP changes affect both stick and automatic cars ?
