Sharif had a screwed up tune on his own car and he blew Phill's motor LMAO. My comments have considerable backing, but whatever, beleive whomever you want. I'm not even getting into the shady crap that I heard that they pulled at this event, on top of still loosing to the car with the engine that has been said to have been horrible from the beginning, and not being man enough to face the person that those two had continuously slandered on the forum.
All bullsht aside the results speak for themselves, and I hope you fellas have learned your lesson.

**** off. Seriously, if you want to create a thread to trash Forged/Sharif/Phil and fly the RA/Scott Bush flag be my guest, but do your trash talking elsewhere. Seriously, I'm so tired of this crap its unbelievable.
Notice you're the only one trying to start drama here? No one from BC has said anything because they're mature enough to put things behind them. I think you'd be well advised to do the same .

James ....by responding to this guy I am going to have to lower your IQ rating a little ....Sorry ....I had to do it.
We all know this guy is one of the BIGGEST TOOLS on here. He swings from Scotts ******* so much he smells like it.
This Redline even is not one race.... there are many more. Hell..I have done three 24 hours of Daytona and it was not until the third one before I got to 22 hours....and I had some of the best Porsche mechanic's in my pit crew.
If I was this guy...I would wait until the last event before talking ****
Racing is a crazy sport....ego's get out of hand and you push the car way more than you would normally.....either you run it into the wall or you blow something up.
Sometimes it takes many races to dial a race car in. From the pictures of sharif's car I can tell that some Camber and Toe could be added.....
But anyway....getting second place for your first event with steering issues is impressive no matter what.

I have all faith that the FP will have an even better showing at the forthcoming rounds.

OK James....I will give you one chance
FP will do better at the next even for sure. Running the car at 10 psi while other are running at 14 + psi and getting second place by 1 second speaks for itself. I am sure now that everyone knows that Sharif will be turning up the boost....others will follow risking their motor..... This will be something to see for sure.
See you at the next event

If the car is prepped correctly :ie camber/Toe...you will not have problems with the power. Driving skills and experience also come into play. Where you will use the power is on the banking.....not in the corners. Knowing when to and how to takes time and practice.
I have been on 1.1 mile tracks with more turns than straights where World Sports Cars ....cars like the 333 SP Ferrari with 800+ hp have rocketed by me like my E-Brake was up...At that time my car only had 630 or so hp.....they did not seem to have problems with that much power. Now put a novice driver in a car like that and we have problems.
So a less skilled driver will have more trouble with more HP. The results prove that.

Most on here will not go as aggressive with camber or toe as I do because most drive to the track. I am hardcore into road racing..... tractor trailor and all .....all driving skills and zero mechanical skills.....thats why I have a crew even when I am practicing. Sometimes I will bring the G to the track....have the setting changed and run the hell out of her ( just incase Sharif sees this...I run it at 5 psi's )to see if I can beat the race car times because the G has more power.....It usually does for one or 2 laps now that I have much bigger brakes and I run it on ultra soft race tires.
Look at the pictures of the cars that entered the event....it tells me alot about how they have their cars setup.

But really, now that we've got all of our differences settled with everyone, it makes it so much more fun, friendly competition is the best kind . And going up a few more psi for BC wont be a risk . Redline should be giving BC royalties for bringing all these Z's and G's into the game
What I've saying from the begining, is that car setup and driver is about 80% of it. Power is the other 20%. I agree completely. How many times have we seen cars with loads more power, get wipped by lightweight cars, with better drivers, and half the power. Happens all the time.
I am just happy to keep up with the professional drivers.

If you notice...Sharif posted that he was installing a roll cage...so 3125lbs will not be his cars weight.
As far as having more boost to go......we will see in time.
If rules will allow....I will bring my race car also....but I am sure I will hear some whining about it......we will see.
