I want to clarify this statement some. NOT back pedal, because I meant it maybe just not like everybody inferred it. It seems sometimes people think there's only this way or that to do things. Or that only a handful of people know anything.
We have people right here on this forum that are absolute geniuses when it comes to automotive. Right here among US. I meant no disrespect to Vizard. That's not the direction I was goin. At all. I've read some of his work. He's a smart guy. Dutra's a smart guy. But they ain't the end all be alls. There ARE other ways of doing things that WORK and other people whose ways of doing things are just as good.....some perhaps better. Just because "the little guys" don't have anything published doesn't mean they don't know anything.
I grew up around an elderly gentleman that couldn't read or write a lick. I got news. That old guy knew more about how to build engines and different combinations for different purposes than anyone I've ever come in contact with since. He was a local dirt track legend. He knew exactly what it took to get one strong going into or coming out of the turns, down the straights, you name it. He never read a tech manual on anything. All 100% self taught. He taught me a lot too. I wish my stupid *** had paid more attention.
That's all my comment was about. I wasn't trying to come off as harsh toward anyone. I have much respect for everyone here and everyone we're discussing. It's just that sometimes I think we forget the "little guys" that ain't really so little.
