Sorry about that. Not intentional at all, was just quickly grabbing what I considered to be relevant information. I've added the number of starters and the winner's time to the previous post. See, there you go again, attacking the person instead of discussing the issue. Perhaps the biggest problem is defining how you rank your 'place in the field.' I'd suggest it isn't finishing position but is starting position or seeding points earned... but without defining that, it's hard to say Adam, or you, are lying. But doesn't everyone say that the rallies to day are sprints on fast, wide roads compared to long, technical events where survival wasn't easy? I don't think for a second that Adam was suggesting the anyone was slow and I don't think there was an insult to be had in what he said. But the results of a single event really don't tell the full story. Yah... I was actually just trying to be funny with that one... :-) First Rally: 2001 Driver (7), Co-Driver (44) Drivers (16) Clerk (10), Official (7), Volunteer (4) Cars Built (1), Engines Built (0) Cages Built (0) Last Updated, January 4, 2015

Haha, of course, as usual, you cherry pick one instance of something and defend that as if it proves anything. Good lord John

Which event was that? Don't forget to mention he beat you again at Maine 1996 with about the same margin as in 95. First Rally: 2001 Driver (7), Co-Driver (44) Drivers (16) Clerk (10), Official (7), Volunteer (4) Cars Built (1), Engines Built (0) Cages Built (0) Last Updated, January 4, 2015

Nope, not important at all actually. I'm reasonably certain I've asked you to show actual results in the past, but don't recall seeing any. I got curious about what results were out there. (You'll note that I also said I was sure there must be better results out there somewhere...) Couldn't find those results anywhere, RRN only goes back to 95 it seems. (95 Rocky showed 8 starters, 7 finishers) Once again, no... it isn't. What's to discuss? I think it was bang on the money and a good overview of what Chris needs to change, as a starting point. It's basically what a bunch of us said.

See, that's where you've got it wrong. The purpose of going to a school is to see, be seen, be corrected as needed, and to do enough so you understand what you need to work on, and how to work on it. Many of us think Chris can learn more, faster, and ultimately cheaper by going to a school. You don't, and that's fine... It was more a reaction to the disappointment I felt. I went digging back to have a look at the results and couldn't find anything that matched your stories. I'm sure the results are out there somewhere, but not online apparently. Probably because I'm not really seeing any. The borderline stuff is almost exclusively in response to fairly strong personal attacks by you... which sorta mitigates how one would take what they are saying.
