Seriously, those people who know me know I wouldnt fabricate crap. I dont put Crap on my car. It was a joke, lighten up for god sakes, I would love to pull up next to you with your panties all bunched up on the starting line if its that easy to get under your skin, heck it usually only takes a couple staging duels to get people worked up but not you. I would have never came on here to ask opinions of your peers if I didnt repect your opinions, Just for the record I emailed the Calvert folks this morning and am yet to hear anything back so unwad your panties I, just like you am just trying to get my car right. On top of that if you would have read the whole post you would have read that I already have the rancho shocks on my car, so if you arent gonna pay attention to the post and question at hand I suggest you shut up and stay out of it! As for everyone else THANKS FOR YOUR HELP AND SUPPORT.

Eric...first, they way you put your comment, it did not appear as a joke. By the way, it takes a lot to get under my skin...and for pulling next to me next to the line and try to rattle me, those who know me as a driver, recognize that it does not work. About shutting up, you need to grow up...you sound like a young kid throwing a tantrum...

ericsz · 06-03-2008, 04:52 PM

Just pointing out the facts. If you would have read the whole post you would have known I had already posted my setup. As for the kid throwing a tantrum comment, you better read your post again sweetheart who sounds like the kid throwing a tantrum????

Eric
That is very harsh for people that are trying to help you
The stock super stock racers are a very tight bunch and this post wont help you ..
I understand what you are saying but it didnt need to be that harsh
Good luck with the 69 it is my favorite car to race also....

ericsz · 06-03-2008, 05:04 PM

With all do respect Mark, I didnt say or mean anything harsh toward anyone other than the person that attacked me. Hence the "As for everyone else thanks for your help and support" comment I made. I appreciate everyones help on here and I dont need someone ripping into me when I didnt deserve it. I understand where you are coming from but what about what he said to me? I suppose that is ok I dont hear any Harsh comments about what he said. You are a tight bunch I know and I respect you for what you do which is why I got on here to ask for you help in the first place because you all have awesome equipment BUT please dont tell me about harsh when he started it, I admit this does sound childish but give me a break. I'll go elsewhere next time I need help if I'm not gonna be treated with the respect I give unto you.

One item that I take issue with is your statement that you plan to fabricate your own set of Cal-trac bars. John is part of our family in S/SS...he has put lots of effort and sweat in his suspension system for some one else to copy it.

I recognize there is a moron out there that has copied his bars and made all the dimensions available online for others to make their own bars. I consider this an insult to our community as a whole...be the man and spend your money like a lot of guys in this forum have done. I can just see you coming back to this forum asking for help because your bars do not work as designed. This applies comment would apply to another company out there that has copied Alf Weibe's suspension system for A and G body cars and it is marketing it like their own design.

But you have no problem with the guys turning the Slide- A - Links into "Calvert" bars, with fabrication??

Eric is no kid throwing a tantrum, and his old car is clean enough to be a Stock or S/S class ride, but why would any new blood come into class racing when some of you act like dickheads?
He is an example of a good sportsman competitor that might look for new challenges, since he wins about 70% of the bracket races he enters.

Class racers are their own worst enemy in that regard, just my observation and opinion.
I realize that only 1% of the racers are like that, it's just that the 1% doing 99% of the grousing are the ones most widely broadcast...the internet has been no friend to drag racing either, the more I see.

Back to the subject, the Calvert setup is superior, but shouldn't be the only way to get this job done. The car is real close.

Thanks Goob!

1%...you better check out my posts in this forum. I contribute with a lot of technical guidance in and outside this forum. I embrace bracket racers and anyone that wants to try this sport. I apologize if in any way or form if I was out of line, however, when someone tries to copy and/or take away hard work from others, then I do take an issue. Those that want to take a short cut, are the ones that eventually come to this forum to either complain they cannot run or keep up with the competition. They are the ones that anytime there is a rule change in Stock or Super Stock, that will not follow their position as a bracket racer, they are aganst it. So, if you want to race in Stock or Super Stock, just remember this is a performance class.

Dave Goob Cook · 06-03-2008, 05:37 PM

It's all good, I understand your point too, no problem there.

Eric, it might be no favor to know me....

How wide a rim you running those tires on?

Harder compound really helped me out of that hot/greasy thing.

Can you fit a 30" tire?

bob gonier · 06-04-2008, 12:29 AM

As everyone else had said........... Caltracs, split mono's and rancho's. And while your at it throw a glide in that baby !!!! I bet all your problems will be solved and you'll be faster to boot !!!!!

Bottom line...... NO CAR will hook when the track is absolute junk, Some just hook more than others and those usually have glides.

JMO of course.
