That is literally what the ignore feature does.

Exactly, when I want to see what they say, I click on the "show post" link to view it.

Mike, you have mentioned Rupert carbs more then once but run another, are you a fan of his stuff? I may be a potential customer of his or someone... not sure what I want to do yet.

It's Bertozzi's car. Rupert is standard issue Bertozzi. Reason for my guess.

Rupert or Bo Laws have been in this game longest, the first Bo Laws Methanol carb I had came brass metering block equipped 1990 technology.

I like a Bo Laws w/ Bo laws belt pump myself. Just what I'm accustomed to.

Mike, completely understand now. I had a Rupert once, on a turn key car, it ran good and then something happened and I was not smart enough to send it back to him for repair. I fought it then went to gas. Thinking about trying alcohol again. Still fishing for ideas.

I can be honest saying this and many, many people that know Sisko will agree, the car had nothing to do with him winning. He raced for me for several years, he don't care what the car did last month, last week, yesterday or even two rounds earlier, he's racing off last round, driving skills, instinct and his opponents dial.

Everyone likes stories so I'll throw one out there. After pulling a burnout in the dragster the transbrake failed, don't ask me how but he got the starter to push him back (he wasn't past the line by much), he then footbraked it and won the round!

EXACTLY. They could have stuck Steve in someone’s rental car and had the same result!

Not asking this to be a jerk, I'm honestly curious. If he can win in anything why not race his own car and keep all the money?

I read the link about the split in the other thread. His share for both races after split was $444K, then he had to give $222K to his two car owners. If I had his skills I'd be driving my own car. But I don't have his skills, I have my skills, so nobody offers me cars, so I'm racing my car anyway
