That mentality was taught to a generation instead of sportsmanship. Hows that working out?
When I lived in Charlotte, Ricky Hendrick was in a Rescue Diver course that I was on the teaching team for. His mom or dad brought him to the shop and pool. Both were class acts and down to earth. Ricky got his driver's license toward the end of the course, and he came to the shop in a Z28-LT1, which I later got to drive when we did some dives in Lake Norman.Some of you guy's have never suffered a real loss... Hendricks would give it all up to get these 10 people back.

I can't begin to imagine the pain his mom and dad were in after the plane crash.
One of the most brilliant mechanical minds of the 20th century. I'd just like to know as much as he had forgotten (when he was alive and active).
My uncle has an original Ranchero this color. Very low miles, mint condition......still ugly as shit.
Thank God Karen left the room.....sweet Jesus people get triggered on the dumbest fkn shit anymore.
so true, after they stripped lance of his wins the 2nd - 4th places in most of those races had also been tagged with PED in their carrier
so they didnt get the absent trophies either
Thanks to those that got this thing back on track. And I will add, even at BUD/S they tell you, that you will probably have to cheat at some point to make it thru, but God help you if we catch you.
I had a prof tell my class once that its a risk/reward proposition, like running drugs. The profits are great, but so is the risk. The path to any action is to decide your appetite for risk and your morality. From there, the answer will reveal itself. I have used that to reason through people's actions for a good while now. But then there is that large part of the population that don't think, they just do.

Fine if you want to ignore. By the time their cheating became known, I'd been out of the shop for 15 years. I certainly did not know about cheating when I did business there. At the time they worked on my car, they hadn't even started the trick nitrous routing cheats. I saw the blocks with the intake and heads off and there was no cheat plumbing back then. Just dinosaurs roaming around the back alley. They were probably doing some other cheat back in those days, but who knows?
The stock Chevy distributor had known issues, like excessive slop in the main shaft bearings, so dwell drifted badly. Regardless, many 302s and 327s used stock distributors and were able to run over 8K RPM, but they did not provide a stable tune.
The Accel was a huge upgrade at that point in time, given WC's setup and tune. I've used the Sun also. You had to stay on top of distributors and plugs back then. It was a pain in the ass. Why would anyone go through the hassle of running points now when there are easy, reasonably inexpensive, high performance options?
And yes, do not let cheating racer discussions displace the titties!!! Trans Am's were popular for a reason. Bring on the tits! More tits!!!

I missed the 74 part, but saw the 90s post lolUmmmmm, I'm just gonna point out that 1974 was 48 years ago...
You didn't happen to go to the same high school as me, did you?
I don't know when the shop was caught, but '74 was the only year mentioned, so I had to go with that.
ETA:
Oops, I missed the early 90s thingy...
Your math grade has been corrected.
This door, into the pantry, defaults to right there.
Buddies have given me some short pieces of railroad track over the years. I thought a piece cut, cleaned, and the surface polished would be a cool door prop. The wife just rolled her eyes. But she does use it...
(that door got cleaned after this pic)

If you’re talking about me we can go outside and kiss about it. Triggered would infer you’re mad, I just wanted to make fun of him and his 6th grade girl post.
He never did say what team he owned or drove for that got screwed by them did he?
That is a very nice looking door prop. And I would actually think there could be a market for you selling them.
I always liked this one.
A while back, I posted a shot of similar to this.
The chick on the right... THAT'S how you do a little black dress. This is a screenshot from a video of Pink Floyd's "On the turning away" The Pulse remastered version. So, I scrolling through bookface just now, and her face come up. She has a fan page. Turns out she must be somewhat famous. Rachel Fury. Hell, I was a fan just by that one glance... lol.

I used a short piece of vacuum line as a "damper" to help my dual-point distributors in the day.
Very very nice. Although it does seem to say "I will show your pinky toe what's up and I will do it in the middle of the night."
Even after you asked him directly, he went straight to sticking out his tongue and name calling.
My grandparents have a cobblers anvil as a door stop that'll fuck you up lol
My lead instructor in the last school I attended before retiring was a Master Chief SEAL. That was his motto. I was a distinguished graduate, so okay from my POV.
The big cheaters were the parents/grandparents of the new morons and those parents/grandchildren taught all the stupid “everyone’s a winner” bullshit that’s lead to today’s kids.
When you raise your kids as assholes, don’t be surprised when the act like assholes
Pretty much everyone in cycling going back as at least as far as Induain (5x winner of TdF '91-'95 for those who don't follow the sport) has been proven to have used PEDs of one kind or another. For the most part it was just race preps and everyone did it. The only winner that I've never seen any evidence against is Greg Lemond, and that was a long time ago.
LA got bitch slapped because he was an jackass and he eventually pissed off some folks who had the backing (i.e., federal investigation) and made it their mission to bring him down. If he had stayed retired after '05 and not come back with Astana in '09 there probably have never been the blow up that eventually happened.
There is a reason what whey they vacated his 7 consecutive wins from '99 to '05 they didn't name anyone else as winner. The highly abridged version is that there wasn't anyone in the top 10 in any of those races with a clean record to declare the winner.
Those days made for some fantastic racing.
The Froome years (thank God he's not top dog anymore) made the most boring racing I've ever seen.
Team does all the work and carried him to the line.
FFS, look back when Porte had him beat and the fucker abandoned his bike. It should have been a DQ.
Nope, can't let the little fragile china doll lose.
Ouch, I hurt my finger, I'll have to abandon. (Translated as, I don't like racing in the mud)
Meanwhile Contador is riding with a broken tibia.
Back in the day, the leaders would stamp their authority over the peloton with breakaways.
What kind weird sex maneuver is that?
People sit at every sporting event, and are usually fans of multiple sports...
She looks like she serves a hundred ships a day.
You guys are showing our age....
You’d be surprised, I’m just an old man at heart.
She wears a locket of the finest silver from the north of Spain.
I’m going to show her my raging glory...
