How is your car at present compared to Johns 3 years ago? You have more suspension parts or less? better suspension setup?, the same?, or worse?, more motorsports orientated people setting your car up for you?, or less?
Power isn't everything. If you have a better, more all-rounded sprint car than John had 3 years ago ( I believe that you felt that you did) then surely you can't speak ill of Archie for not being the same driver as John was (is and continues to be ) as you should be faster than John based upon what you have as an all-round package), unless your not in fact, a racing car driver.
I have no ill-will against either of you. I am hoping to participate in next years hillclimbs (subject to being onshore) and enjoy some of the camerarderie that John Stevenson used to talk about . But looking at the way things are being handled on here, that may not be fully possible...... but I have 1 clear target in mind that I want to beat........... it's just a shame I can't drive to save my life.
Archie - sorry for stealing your project thread, there's nowhere else (at present) to post this up
