Here i am, travis whats your last name? JUst for identification purposes in case anything happens to anyone on the site. BTW if you worked at lime rock, which you did or…? Cuz i dont think that you did. Because: skip is a race school, wherein they use crappy little formula cars with dodge motors OR they use neons which are even shittier. There are like 3 vipers that get used for auto-x and skid pad use… thats about it. Unless you worked for an alms team or some shit but i highly, highly doubt that.
Not to mention everyone and they’re brother has worked there at some point. Great you worked there for 10 minutes one winter, def doesn’t make you an expert…in fact in makes you look like an asshole. More so than me. :crackup
id average about a car a week for rebuild… sometimes less depending on what needed replacing and how bad it was torn up… as far as who i worked with…ryan conti, generoso lasalvia, andrew (i forget his last name)…etc… im not fibbing.
yes… formula dodge’s… i was generalizing saying alms because most people dont have a clue what a formula dodge is on this site. 1200lb chassis… 150hp neon motor with a mopar performance ecu and a header to a supertrapp muffler with 7 plates ;)… the vipers managed to see the track every so often before the snow flew, and there were 5 of them.
i should add that the “school cars” aka formula dodges (not the r/t cars) would beat vipers around limerock with ease… they would average a 57-58 second lap with an instructor… the vipers were around a 1.02, the srt-4’s were around a 1.05…
this is an example of the R/T car… notice it has a fuckin spoiler on the back… same engine package as the school formula dodge but a 5 speed sequential transmission… the school cars came with a 4 speed manual…
heres an example of the “school” cars
see the differences?
:headbang
HOLES! There are HOLES EVERYWHERE!!
referring to the rust hole bubbling from ur quarter panel? :haha
Comparing an alms car to the shitty formula cars that skip uses, is like comparing the f-22 raptor to the wright brothers first airplane.
95% of people on this site (as i previously mentioned) dont have a fukkin clue what either of them look like without a picture reference
:lol It’s like a mid-80s hot-air balloon compared to a F22 Raptor, they arent even the same-bodied race cars.
HOLES!!!
if thats true then why go out of your way to lie and and say you worked on ALMS cars? If we can’t tell the difference than you coulda just said the truth and it would have meant the same thing, eh?
Hot air balloon…good reference :lol
ok where to start…first of all there not formula dodges there formula fords with dodge motors. second they dont wiegh 1200lbs and there is absolutly nothing carbon fiber on them they are steal and fiberglass. there not even assoiciated with dodge anymore its all mazda stuff. yes they are crappy but its better to teach people in crappy cars so who ever made that comment is a fool. if you were to get in a normal race car like a open wheel elan chasis in a school it wouldnt really do much to teach you because they are so good. the point is to have crappy handling cars so you learn dinamics. why it really matters if he worked for them im not sure. if he did his job properly he would still be there right? none fo you have any idea what your talking about including travis. if any of you have any questions about the cars i could answer them sense i used to work there for a while. also travis i dont think those people work appriciate you using there names in you diarea posts. i happen to know those guys and i know for sure that andrew and gerry would not like what there seeing here. its an example of poor character and insacurity.
Lies. JClark could beat Chuck Norris in Trivial Pursuit.
bring on any questions…
jesus fuck’n spell check please!
who are you?.. and im good friends with both conti and gerry…yes they went to mazda powerplants now, but in 2005, when i worked there… it was all dodge. as far as me doing my job properly… I QUIT!!! they didnt fire me… they paid DICK. i make more standing behind a desk listening to some stupid ass tell me how his fucking jeep/gm/pile of shit is leaking oil or wont shift. easier job, pays better with less responsibility… HMMMM
wow, I think theirs a kink in my brain now from trying to read that.
the place is ment to be a door for a team not a carrier. they also tell you how much they are going to pay you before they hire you. so if they paid you dick why did you start working there. so people choose to take the path of lease resistance i think you get nothing out of it.
i dont claim to have good grammer belive me but if thats all you can insult me about have at it.
400/week gross to most people doesnt sound 1/2 bad… til you realize the cost of living in that region of CT is double what you’re being paid. for instance the house i moved into down there was 980$/month… making $680 net every 2 weeks isnt enough to pay rent, pay heat/electric, pay for gas and dont forget groceries… even with 2 people that shit is a TIGHT budget…
and you still didnt say who the hell you are? :wtf :confused
