I can asure you he is none of those things listed above.
If you go back and read some of his posts you will see it is nothing he has picked up from any hot rod magazines.
You will also see where he makes an apology.
With that being said why don't you make an apology to Richard for all those wild statements.
Thanks for this, Erik.Quote:

You stated it very well, so I'll keep my yap shut.
Richard is one of those guys who ....... well, he knows his stuff, and when he offers advice, people would do well to listen.

i didn't see the apolgy from him sorry.i see to many guys on these forums with no real world hands on.i see people giving a whole story that means nothing in real word.i have worked in racing for 20yrs engines,chassis,drag race,dyno operator,nascar r&d for roush.i see guys giving answers but i see no car listed or job listed in the feild.i'm sorry if i pissed you guy off.i just think if you give answers you should have done it before not seen it done before.
Fair enough.Quote:

Man! With your qualifications you have a ton of stuff to offer. We (or at least I) look forward to your input. Check in often.

Well, don't worry. With a few more years of experience you'll understand what some of us are talking about.... Not all of us choose to brag about our accomplishments, but the majority of us are speaking from been there done that experience.... PS..... We were running Roush engines in IMSA in 1977...Nice guy, isn't he????Quote:

Nope, wasn't bragging. Just wanted you to know that it was no big deal...Lots of us had different jobs. This forum is more for help and ecourgament to some of the folks new to hot rodding or getting into building their own stuff instead of settling for store bought then it is bragging about who has the biggest or best whatever...
Lots of good folks here with a huge variety in backgrounds and experience all of whom will offer advice without put downs or arguments. Just about everyone here through their life experiences have learned our lessons. One of the most important lessons that I have ever learned is that learning becomes very difficult when you think you allready know it all. I've been fortunate to learn many things from the members here, some with lots of experience, some who were barely 16 years old when they gave the advice. An open mind and a willingness to listen and learn are the best tools I've ever approached a task with....
There is no pecking order or heirarchy at CHR as is the case in many forums. Every post on here should be considered as information offered or experiences shared with no single answer being an absolute or irrefutable... It's all about opinions and everyone here is quite adept at expressing there's without fear of reprisal or put downs..... as it should be on any open forum....
