Well now Steve, there's a substantial difference of "Your boss didn't do too well this weekend" and "Your boss is on a dysfunctional team".
And that's a company that you worked for that sponsored a team. Try running the team and see how many people talk through their butts.

Matt Hagan ran Pro Mod for two or three years prior to going to Funny Car on the IHRA side this season.
There isn't a single drag racing vehicle in existence-let alone anything that uses 90% nitro, a blower, and a clutch-that doesn't throw its owner/tuner/driver a major curve at some point in time. If you really want to beat your head against the wall as a tuner, try bringing one of those damned throttle stop .90 cars back to the number after losing the "ratio." You'll wish it had blower pulleys, a mechanical pump, and a clutch management system...that would be easier to fix.
They all have their degrees of difficulty. When the stakes are higher and the fields are smaller it is much easier to notice the DNQ's and early round losses. Indy is a glaring example. How many races did NHRA have where there were less than 16 Top Fuel cars? Qualifying wasn't an issue. Now you tow into ORP and you have a bunch of new faces that came not just to qualify but to win. Makes the game a bit harder. Stumble there and you're done. Simple as that.

Terry,
Let's quote Matt here...
“(The championship) is very obtainable right now,” Hagan said. “I set my goals this year to win three races, and this is my third win. Now the goal is to win a championship and I think, with this race car and the Smiths tuning it, it’s possible.”
Now I don't know about you, but I don't think Matt's the one talking **** here...

Is that sarcasm Paul? Because I don't think Mark's post was that respectable to begin with.
I would guess that the line from the original post is what upset "Ma".
Two of the more talented young drivers seem to be stuck with highly disfunctional and inadequate teams
I have not worked with all of the crew members on that team, but I have worked with two of them, and RG and Walsh certainly don't fit into that description.

Thank you, Steve and Virgil. It's obvious that Mark and others have no clue how hard the crew guys work to make these teams function. It's one thing to beat on the drivers and crew chiefs (for no good reason, in most cases), but quite another to fault the crew. They are at the track long before any of you and there long after you're gone. So until you've walked a mile in their shoes, kindly shut your piehole.
And no, my son needs no further ego boosts. He was quite embarrassed enough by the TV attention. He's never aspired to be a tuner.
