Yes it looks like a scam, but how is he going to work it to get any money? There dont seem to be any " up front" details, or will that come later?

Fake email and Paypal account from a cloned card will do the job.

Slightly sarcastic. I was thinking of how a poorly balanced dragster will flip up its front end, thus limiting acceleration.

and then you weren't thinking how a well balanced solid chassis will transfer its weight over then rear end to provide maximum traction whilst balancing the front end a few inches above the racing surface...

Think harder next time

Thinking harder about what precisely?

How to get to 335mph in 4.42 seconds?

You're now going to tell me a front engined car would be quicker I suppose?
I have contact details for both Brad Hadman and Murf McKinney if you'd like to tell them and of course Mr Garlits, that they have been wrong all these years.

Has the UK got its own Franklin Ratliff, maybe you're building a propster too..

How about leaving your dirty laundry so to speak out of a public forum so the rest of us don't have to be dragged into this petty arguement?

I personally am for you to do that!
