    You just said they aren't top tier teams without the best of every single component. The engine is pretty much the biggest component.

      I know right, i was hoping someone would put together a go fundme. Then maybe i could even go to races that cost more then $15 to get in, too bad rusty is never at those.

        I see where your going MB but I also look at it this way, if 20 of the top 30 teams (woo & Lucas) running a Durham then odds of a Durham winning are exceptional. Same as was rocket years ago when you'd go to just about any track and 15 of the 20 cars in feature were a rocket then which chassis you think gonna win. Dargie, malcuit, Vic hill, pro power, etc still build capable winning motors and some of them were present Friday night. In fact isn't Moran still running a malcuit? Peirce was pro power right? Being local to schlenk I've seen him race tons and always glad he's there cause know he's gonna give it all its got. Him on this "new" Rayburn though has really peeked my interest and enjoying the change of pace because LM racing can get in a rut. Just like Jameson in the Swartz gig.

            I fail to understand the point you are now attempting to make.

              You are 100% correct, but there are folks who can have anything, have had everything, that will only use the Ford.

                He keeps winning, you keep whining. Same as always.

                  Moran is running Clements Chevy engines now.

                    The point is you don't need a Durham to win on a national level.

                              Racing is a hobby as everyone who does it spends more than they make without massive sponsor help. Why can’t schlenk be respected for being a very fast reigional guy instead of being relentlessly bashed for not being a top touring pro ?? You bitch we don’t have enough cars then you ridicule the cars who do show up ...

                                Hobby is a Mindset.

                                "Racing is a hobby ..."

                                Racing as a hobby is purely a mindset, if you see your racing as a hobby ONLY, then you'll never succeed at a very high level. If you approach it as a profession it becomes a much different thing and your results will show it. Tiger Woods doesn't play golf as a hobby, but lots of ho-hum duffers do and it shows. Its up to the individual as to whether they live life as a hobby or take it serious.
