Mr. Happy and friends PDF Print E-mail

The following is a real email, I cleaned it up alittle so it was Ok for the site.

Question:

 Hey birdbrain,

 What the hell is wrong with you and your so called "inspectors"? I hear now that if my water passes your "new test" it still has to pass the old test too? What bullsh_t.

I get real tired of you and your so called "rocket scientists" checking me at all the events. I would just like to pull and go home without being hassled. First it's our turbo, fuel, manifold, map ring, then water. I wish you guys would just let us run and quit f__king with us.

I may just stay home the rest of the season and run where they don't f__k with us all the time.

 

Answer:

 Dear Mr. Happy,

 Good to hear from you and your followers. I'll answer your questions / comments in the order received:

 1.  What the hell is wrong with you and your so called "inspectors"?

Answer: Nothing, we constantly have to improve our skills to keep up with you guys as you find new ways to make power on the "Dyno". 

2. I hear now that if my water passes your "new test" it still has to pass the old test too?

Answer: Yes, just because we have new tests doesn't mean that we discontinue the old ones.

 3. What bullsh_t.

Answer: Not really, just my job.

 4. I get real tired of you and your so called "rocket scientists" checking me at all the events.

Answer: That's odd, most pullers would rather be checked so all of you are on an even playing field.......Huh, I guess you're different...

5. I would just like to pull and go home without being hassled.

Answer: I'm sure that if you have nothing to hide it shouldn't be a hassle.

6. First it's our turbo, fuel, manifold, map ring, then water.

Answer: The Super Farm class is a limited class and every time we limit ourselves we add to the testing. It's really for your own peace of mind.....

7. I wish you guys would just let us run and quit f__king with us.

Answer: Ok, just relax and it'll be painless if everything is legal. I'm sure yours is but, not everybody is like you....

8. I may just stay home the rest of the season and run where they don't f__k with us all the time.

Answer: That is your choice, however, as long as I'm in charge (thru 2013) myself and all of NTPA's Officials are out there to keep you honest. We want you to know that you can come and pull with us knowing that we care about your safety and being treated like a equal.

Thanks for writing,

Larry
