I heard Warren is going to get Jason to tutor him on the lights!!!1
I was thinking more in the line of Guru Maurice Pitka
It's frustrating as hell to have a dominate car and lose because of RT. WJ has been hard on himself saying he needs to get it done and hopefully he will get it worked out and soon so he can help KJ. KJ & JJ advance to rd 2,the KB Racing guys are headed home. The Cagnazzi cars are on the same side of the ladder as KJ & JJ are. Let the games continue.

Give Warren more time in the shop, I don't think the competition would want that.

They're going to like it even less when someone else is wheeling that car..........

He should hire that punk, Dave C. 
All kidding aside. Dave in WJs car would be a very formidable player.

When I suggested the same thing, I got bashed. Well I just have a feeling that at the end of this year you're going to be seeing a press released stating he's going to be the driver of WJ's car.

I sure hope nobody from the outside starts telling me when I should stop enjoying what I love. Despite the results lately, I'd have to say he's still choosing to wheel the car himself for some reason. Maybe it's because it's his life's work and he's really enjoying outrunning everybody else? The rest of this year he'll have the luxury of testing and blocking when applicable and that seems good enough for WJ.
It's only my opinion but, shouldn't it be his choice to decide when to move out of the seat? Until then, it seems as if speculation will continue to fly from those who know little or nothing of his world. Worst of all, it's the same guy with new threads about what's wrong with WJ.
Must be an empty life?

I gave up trying to explain it's WJ's choice when and if he gets out of the car. WJ owns the entire operation,including KJ's deal and he's going to do it his way,like it or not. I think of it this way,he's thinking he can still get it done and no reason to quit now. I wouldn't like anything better than him getting it worked out and kick some butt. As far as JJ getting the ride,I would be very surprised if he gets it next year because I think WJ will be back behind the wheel.

I definitely understand and tend to agree with both of you guys on this, but I guess it's just frustrating to watch one of the baddest cars in the class, if not the baddest get hammered early every week.
All of us that drive will also arrive at a day when our skills behind the wheel will diminish. That being said, I'm sure none of us will want to hear anything about putting someone else behind the wheel. But this is the professional level, and with all the corporate involvement, I guess I'm surprised that there hasn't been any pressure from the source of the money to slide a hotter shoe in there. But on the other hand, WJ has more than paid his dues to do whatever he wants, that's for sure, and maybe the suits at GM are satisfied with that. I'm just saying I'm surprised.

His RT are not what they need to be,he even says that.This is what puzzles me,evidently he's hitting the shift points,that's a reaction,he still gets A to B very well,that's a reaction. You're correct,it's hard seeing a very good car go out first round and not going rounds. I talked to him @ Charlotte, not about his RT but being in a slump and we both agreed that you just have to work your way out of it. I look @ it this way comparing racing to life,I've had times where no matter what I did,I couldn't make lemonade out of lemons. Then,all of a sudden for no reason,I could take chicken crap and make chicken salad out of it. I can't explain it but we have all experienced it and hopefully the chicken salad will come soon for WJ.

I hear what you're saying, Mike, but as far as his shift points are concerned, all that proves is that he's consistent, not necessarily quick. As long as he's consistent in his reactions to the shift lite/tachometer, he/they can set the shift lite to come on around that, or the number he may be looking at on the tach, whichever may be the case. The reaction time can't be adjusted, unfortunately, if he's not quick enough to start with.
Not trying to start a debate, just pointing it out, because I, too, would like nothing more than to see him start kicking that a$$ again.

Well, that's no fun Mike..I still have the Schools out shirt..what am I going to do with that? lol. WJ is a great racer, there's no doubt.

I know this isn't going to be a very popular opinion but here goes....
There's no doubt that WJ is a great engine builder, as evidenced by Kurt's great times and speeds.
So is Warren's, but....
It's been scientifically proven that the older you get, your hand-to-eye coordination is not as strong (in no easy way to say it, it gets weaker). That is why you see WJ have a superior ET but lose many times due to his bad RT's, he simply cannot reaction to the tree as fast anymore.
Sorry if I seem "ageist" but that's my take on it.
Just so everyone knows I'm not hating on WJ, I'd love to see him pull out a win or two this year.

You are right Sean but I would bet that W.J. don't need no stinking shift light.

I don't doubt that, Armand. The point I was trying to make is the reaction to shifting the car is dealt with in an entirely different manner that the reaction to the Christmas tree.

I'll bet a secret vote from the rest of the class would show unanimous support for Warren staying behind the wheel...
He's made the most power (Greg Anderson withstanding) since Bob Glidden.
