A clarification on an aforementioned question on my profit margin hardly
qualifies as bragging.
He claimed it was too low, I corrected his claim.
So sorry I offended you.
Also noticed you spend a lot of time in this thread as well.
Does this qualify you as a "groupie" as well?

None of the other cars had such a severe cooling problem, Gordo's
problem
could have been elsewhere ion the cooling system.


Dave Blaney David Reutimann, David Stremme, and Casey Mears say: "Hi"

Have any more inaccuracies to share?

The Frontstretch: Is There Really Preferential Treatment In NASCAR?
Full Throttle · Mike Neff · Tuesday May 15, 2007
http://www.frontstretch.com/mneff/8896/

Well, NASCAR threw two different cautions during that final segment
of the race which put Gordon at a much greater risk of his car blowing
up.
Saying that he was given preferential treatment during the entire
event
is
simply inaccurate.

wrong, putting around @50mph @ part
throttle cools the engine. so they
were actually helping him.

.... those engines are designed to get more air at higher speeds. Slower
speeds = less air, more retained heat = blown engine. Some one correct me
if
I'm wrong?

You're not wrong - all the drivers on INC and the BBs on Wind Tunnel
all said the same thing - Letarte and JG HATED seeing the final
caution, and that's why.

compression cooloing theory!

My quote.Twenty five years, annual sales of over 4.5 million.

If you are the best engine builder within 3000 miles of Philly, one
would
think your gross would be higher.

3000 miles of PITTSBURGH. (reading comprehension issues?) More poetic
justice.
I'll take the 4.5 mil a year VS.....How much does a retired policeman on
a
pension make a year?


THAT, is a dick comment!

You just showed your true colors.

BTW, why is your annual gross so low?


I was referring to "net sales".

3000 miles from Pittsburgh would cover all of North America.
If you are the best what is the name of your Company?

Your post, copied from 5-18 at 9:42pm. You are not making any money if
you
are the largest shop within 3000 miles.


4.5 mil in *net* sales isn't making money?
bwhahahaaaaaaa, OK.



Talk to your friend at Dover, he
will tell you what I have said and my guess you will not post back on this
topic.

What you have said? lol
You have gone off on tangents in so many different directions, it is
difficult to believe that he would possibly say ANYTHING you have said
prior.
I'll post back when he tells me Gordon's rad was stuffed up with rubber, but
you'll ignore that anyway - considering your aversion to the truth.



I have my tickets and hot pass for the June MIS race and will chat
with the people I know. BTW, I make a comfortable living on pension alone
and more income from my retail business, as well as teaching in a local
college with plenty of time to enjoy my toys and hobbies. Net income is
what the game is all about, gross sales does not mean anything.

Another great point from the "King of the Obvious".
I was speaking "net sales", bud.
Quoting gross sales is a waste of time.
I'm sure your retail business would really give me a run for my money, huh
slick?



No headaches for me. 'Nuff said.


"Nuff said"? Now?
You really should have quit before you even started.
Anything over $80,000 a year is a waste. Anyone can
live comfortably on $80,000 a year. So the fact that
you "net 4.5 mil. means dick.

As I mentioned in another post. If you cover a 3,000
radius from Pittsburgh, that would mean you cover
all of North America. What is the name of your
company?

Whatever, 4.5 mil is a waste unless you support
charitable causes. You sure can't use it all yourself.

On a side note, I did a maps.google.com search for Pittsburgh to London, just to see if we could include parts of the Europe in his blanket statement. Funny thing is how it also lists "Swim across the Atlantic" as a part of its directions.

Check instruction this:
20. Swim across the Atlantic Ocean 3,462 mi

You really should have quit before you even started.


Quit before I started? You may sweep the floor of a $4.6 million company,
but you do not have the finnese, or the smarts of a person who may measure
..0000's, supervise a person who measures .0000's, or be an administrator of
a company whose employees mic .0000's on a daily basis.

Get back to me on this;

Check with your guy at Dover. Ask him how they keep engines cool on short
tracks with rpm ranges from a high around 9000'ish on the straight aways, to
a lot lower in the corners, then back to the 9000 rpm range in short order,
etc. for a bunch of laps, you know, a short track race. Constant high/low
rpm's minus high speeds, opposed to a more constant high speed run at a
super speedway with limited low speed runs under a caution.

Brutal conditions, but the cooling system goes back to what I taught you
before, it is designed to work at all speeds for the length of any race.

I don't use it all myself. I can't.
About 33% of it is put back into the business, another percentage of it goes
to several junior partners, and the rest is spilt amongst myself, some
charitable organizations, and other ventures I pursue.
The 3000 mile radius I speak of is actually a 3000 mile circumference (my
mistake) around Pittsburgh which would be approximately 500 miles outward in
any direction.
