Anders and Nova67ss: what do YOUR truck run?
First of all. My name is Anders .. my nick on all boards I attend is “Nova67ss” same person.
I dont have a truck,

I´m one of the wrenchbitches to the “for now” fastes and only 8 sec Syclone, and that truck is Robert, “mrsyclone”´s.. My car is a ... Nova 67 ss.
[/QUOTE]
People on this board are so quick to slam someone else or to talk shit but not a single person who has talked crap can do what Ed has done.
So what if he came on here with a visor and defended it, its his truck and its his right.
Then someone has the nerve to ask why he will post on a local board and answer more questions than on this board? Well shit, take this thread as the answer why. I don't even know why Ed bothers on here anymore. [/QUOTE]
I myself have defended Ed at this forum, I dont disrespect him, BUT I still stands for my coments.
This was a comment when Robert did catch the 8...
[/QUOTE] THANK GOD IT WASN'T ED! We would have never heard the end of that.[/QUOTE]
Ive erased the name on this Quote abowe.
My responce to that is below.
hej man, be nice to Ed he has worked har to reatch the 8 himself to, as Hoover´s and Robert..
Think of all the money invested and be "beaten" when your so close as Matt has been, and Ed was ready to change the turbos to realy run "the beast".. how about the goal they tryed to reach?? gone with the wind..
I remember how Robert felt when Hoover run the 9.03 slips and even the 9.004 His mood was´nt ´high those days. and still we felt sad about the loss of Hoovers engine, yes that gave us the "play off seat" and we scored, but It could as easily happend to us..
[/QUOTE]
Like Ed or not there are plenty of us who can learn from his experience and trials with his truck, why burn a bridge? [/QUOTE]
I dont burn bridges, but its been realy hard for Robert to, to get answer from this comunity, and thats because hes one of 3-4 people in the leading edge.
[/QUOTE]So what if he asked alot of questions about how to run 11's. That is what the purpose of this site is isn't it? [/QUOTE]
This I do not no annything about, but the meaning IS to exchange ideas, but U have to give to get..

soon anders, real soon.
ed
Ed still hope U make a 8 run, I think it not IF its WHEN.
[/QUOTE]
I have respect for those like you and the hoovers who do their own work and make things happen. I have none for those that open up their checkbook and buy it. trust me I know what it's like to spend the $ to make it go fast and lose motors along the way. I can't even begin to imagine how much I've spent and to build something like roberts truck and the hoovers dwarf mine. respect is to be earned not given. [/QUOTE]
This was another “jump” at Ed, my answer is below..

I can relate to your way of thinkin, yes I realy do. but when your in this game, theres allways things you dont be able to fix your self, and not all thats a gearheads have it in his hands..
theres 2-3 ways of doing things..
# 1.Do it mostly by your self. you will probably read alot and start to copy allready funktional cars then develop a skill and plan by yourself, ceeping cost as low as possibly and do 90% of all work and develop yourself..
# 2. Your intresded know what you wants (you allso have read all about it

) and you develop a plan, but your skill in craftsmanship maybee is in stockbroker not auto mecanics you earn lots of $ and pay a craftman to do 90 % of your plans for High costs..
# 3. You got som $ realy dont know what you wants or what you like, so you buy the first fast and fansy car you see and try from there..
The # 3 guy can develop to either a # 1 or a # 2 or totaly blow it and start a hoggfarm ;D
# 1 or # 2 is bouth responsible for develop a fast car, have a plan but does it i 2 different ways.. as I see it bouth diservs respect for their efforts..
Sorry its a lithle mixed but Im not to good on computers.
