Default What's up with R&D Motorsports?

I've been keepin an eye on R&D cuz they got good stuff....but why do they keep blowin up engines? I think they should take a break, prep the car, then race. They have all the best stuff...I'd be mad if my motor kept getting blown up!

Have you looked at the Honda Challenge schedule....not much time to "take a break" unless you want to skip races...especially when stuff doesn't get delivered till last minute...


R&D = g00d ppl


-Matt, who's "taking a break" till Slummit

xsnrg,

R&D builds some top shelf equipment, they have just had more than their share of bad LUCK. Thats racing. It could of been me in the same boat or Reid, Dudak or any of the other H1 racers.

What really Kicks *** about these guys is they NEVER give up!!!!! They make adjustment and come back out swinging. I would have just thrown in the towel........ R&D hasn't.


BTW- Welcome to the RR/AX forum.... Not the best way to start out.

What do you mean? Their H2 car has finished every Race this season, and had podium finishes in exactly half of those races... I don't get it.

R&D does great work. My shop knew about the R&D brand before coming to HC.

OT: why does the person's title get set to their IP address whenever someone is banned? Surely it's not to encourage someone to do nasty things to the machine living on the other end of that address. That wouldn't be cool for someone on a dynamically assigned address who just happens to get the same address as the banned person later. But I'm just asking, not saying that's why its done.

His alternate account was banned as well.

R&D has worked very hard this year, and had some bad luck with machining and some bad parts but then again we all do stupid **** as well. I had a suspension bolt fail on track, so **** happens.
