Don't Read; I just need to get this **** off my chest...
I am going to begin this post addressing myself being a Virtual ***. Sure I come across as an ******* on the internet. Sorry. Frankly, I am not here to kiss anyone ***. I've made friends thru this board believe it or not, and they might actually say something different than what one would know me to be only thru reading my posts.
Half of me coming across as an *** has to do with my feelings of people hiding behind their monitor as they talk **** and act like they know everything. I've met some of these people as well, and in person, they don't say half of what they say on the internet. I wonder why? You think if I just gave them a monitor to stand behind, they would begin to talk.
The other half of me being called as an *** comes from Season 1 WCHC. I came into WCHC as the Socal Honda Champion from the season before at TCRA. Mr. Hope and my old playground. This is where we got serious with racing our Hondas. I guess the typical feelings people have is that they have to root for the underdog. Everyone can relate, but the guy that has the fast car is the ***, and that was me. Fine, so I'm an ******* because I hold a 1:31 at Big Willow and no one has broken it still. Fine, I'm an ******* because I was one of the first in the WCHC to come to the track with a relatively fully sponsored ride. Fine, so I'm an ******* because I brought a couple of trophy girls to some of the races. And lastly, fine, so I'm an ******* because I know a little more about how a car works because of my Mechanical Engineering degree and have a very smart mentor that I learn the tricks of the trade from. Sure I may be cocky and arrogant at times. Sorry.
Now that I have fully defined the essence of my ******* for you (lol), I am going to go be an *******. I have a couple of gripes, one being with someone that fronted as my friend to get my help with building a racecar. Actually he practically wanted me to build it for him. I hate being taken advantage of. Actually if you are a good friend of mine, I am happy to help you with your Honda as long as you feed me while we are wrenching. Fair enough. Anyway, my other gripe has to do with, you guessed it, that monkey from New Zealand.
I just want to reveal the guy for who he really is.
Teaming up with Jeff, I figured would be a good thing. Everyone told me-and I know this myself- to turn my own bolts because Jeff has been know to have parts come off his car at the track. Maybe this began my bitterness with the guy. Well, he did spend most of his time on the internet and not working on his car so okay, he just didn’t prepare well and soon enough for races. Not everyone has the time-wait a minute; Jeff does, because that’s all he does. He didn’t have a job, his job was racing! It just bothered me to be working on the car all the time and hardly saw Jeff working because he was busy upstairs doing something other than preparing. Fine, I’ll bite my tongue.
Another thing that got to me about Jeff was when he talked **** about STOPTECH with another brake company (a review to them on their stock replacement rotors vs a STOPTECH big brake kit) and this review got to my managers. I was enraged. How else should I feel? Happy that my teammate fucked me over thru my job because he doesn’t have a job himself? I tried to bite even harder.
Another thing that got me thinking about Jeff was when he cut the tip off his thumb assembling a b18c motor. He arranged to trade a type R motor to a stainless steel hose supplier for product. I ask Jeff “why are you having so much trouble fitting piston in a block?” The first thing I thought was “does he even know how to assemble a motor!” Jeff says “The guy is just going to blow it up anyways.” Now that is a fucked up attitude. Obviously he didn’t care about what he was giving to this hose supplier. You decide. I’ll bite my tongue because the car I was driving needed the hoses.
And now Jeff is PMing my friends and talking **** about me to them. “Thanks for your support [as you talk **** to Shawn on the internet]” Our talking **** to each other is for ***** and giggles, but Jeff is going to jump on any bandwagon he can.
I’ve had it with this guy and his subliminal **** talking messages of “well we fixed the car (k20 integra) because it was over engineered” or “it was built all wrong from the beginning” Honestly, I tried to bite my tongue from the beginning, but Jeff has just become the biggest ******* hack job I know. Every race he seems to blow a motor or crash his car. He cant keep his front bumper from hitting another car. He talks to much about his plans instead of actually making them happen. Btw, I respect Don Wilson and feel bad that Jeff is just another one of the many people ready to catch the money leaves from the Wilson tree. Obviously I wasn’t there to rape Wilson of his money, I quit remember? I quit because Jeff doesn’t have the potential to build a team worthy enough for me to take a second look at (yes that is a cocky statement, so what ifI admire teams like Tri-Point and Turner, but Special Rejects? Common) I quit because Jeff makes me sick.

Who the f#$k is Jeff????</TD></TR></TABLE>
Grocery shopping for me and the dog here....
believe its Jeff "Kiwi" Owen - the guy that had the contacts at that Mid-Ohio race (not to be confused w/ the guy w/ the steak knife - think that's [Andy] Hope) on the radio show a year or so ago that started Honda Cup maybe? I think this is a re-run actually, later on we'll find out who California Dude is and Rinde will contemplate taking his car off jack stands ... that's where this left off last season I think.
Sorry (Shaun??), thought a little levity went with the mood

That is by far one of the funniest things I've heard yet. The steak knife lapping incident. Damn, that's funny.
