Okay boys and girls, once a gain I have a challenge for anyone foolish enough to mess with Mr. Nice. I am wagering up to $500.00 that my ZR-1 will vanquish all "motor only" cars in the one mile Street Class division. I will make it simple so that even Chandler will understand and point out that motor only means no forced induction or NOS. The wager will be given to the charity of my, or in the unlikely event that I lose, your charity of choice. I am going to give my liver a break this year and will not be betting any beer. So who is going to accept the challenge and donate to my favorite charities, "The Smile Train," and "Wounded Warrior Project?"
If you are not entered please spare us all with the "If I were there my 283 would blow your doors off but my daughter has a tanning appointment... yada, yada, yada." Who will be the first victim? Mr. Nice  |

Mr. Nice,
I see that no one has taken you up on your offer. My neighbor has a friend that rode in his cousin's car back in '64 that he says would blow your doors off... The car was radar red and had a big engine in it. Nothing could beat it. He taped a ten-dollar bill on the dash and told him he could have it if he could reach it when he accelerated. You know, pedal to the medal, full throttle, etc. Well, my neighbor's friend that tried to get that ten-spot couldn't come close to picking it off the dash of his cousin's killer car. If I knew that cousin still had that car and if he wasn't dead, I would bet his car could whip yours in the mile. Besides, he had fender skirts on it and duel arials along with a rear seat speaker. Oh, and a steering wheel knob too. Mr. Nice, you really should take that yellow beast to the Texas Mile. You may be able to hit 200 mph with it. With my car that you were part of "Cowing" a couple years back, I did 155 at the SORC and 171 at the Texas Mile. I bet you would have a similar increase or more. I don't think you will get any takers on your offer.  BY #2  |

There are probably very few people that have the money to spend or the know how to build an n/a car that would compete with joe's.
He has set the bar pretty damn high!

Speaking of daughters rides I was going to upgrade my daughters barbie Jeep up to 18v. It should have plenty of tire spin but I am not sure she will allow me to race you. Consider yourself lucky Mr Nice

Although I'm half your age and only accumulated a fraction of your wealth, I will accept your challenge but for only $300.
*$100 for the fastest NA car in the 1 mile. *$100 for the closest to perfect time in your chosen class Loup2Loup *$100 for the closest to perfect time in your chosen class SORC The winner in each category will distribute the funds to their charity of choice. This way your ego will be satisfied by winning the 1 mile (maybe) but us peasants will have a chance in the skilled events. By the way, while consulting the CFO (wife) about the wager she had the nerve to comment how charming you appeared in Las Vegas. Rob Walton |

Dear Mr. Rob Walton,
I accept your wager "Grasshopper." How shall we handle the scoring when I am in the "Invitational" rather than a timed event? I trust that your charity of choice is not the Walton-Domingus Welfare Fund? To win stay on the road you must. such a perceptive mate fortunate you are to have. Very pleasant and easy to look at she is. Mr. Nice |

Wise you seem! Got ideas you must?
Our South African American friend says he is attending this year and i'm sure he would like to participate in our wager. Does Jim's have a 501(c)(3)? Rob |

Dearest Mr. Nice, Greetings from Johannesburg South Africa.
I first and foremost must say that it is great to be back on the forum and in the company of such good people. That said, I accept your challenge but under the terms negotiated by my illustrious compadre Mr Walton. It would be proper to contextually reference the terminology of Yoda per the prior posts. " Underestimate your foe you will for the force has been upgraded in him it is" I know that your vehicle is quite formidable and your performance is documented and I do fully repect your challenge. That said I must advise you of the following changes that will potentially impact the outcome of our duel: 1). I have installed a rotary oscillator for my pumpkin oil. 2). My radiator cap is fully polished. 3). I have a new oil temp gauge. 4) the car now has Cop Tires and Cop Shocks. 5). it has fully illuminated chromium plated shifter knob. 6) I have sattelite radio. 7) There is a roll of duct tape in the trunk. 8) The coil overs are adjustable. 9) I have a new edition of the Tripple A roadmap. 10) This baby runs fully Synthetic Oil. The power gains from these items alone is quite significant and as I think through the emotional implications for you personally after suffering defeat I feel further compelled to tell you the following in full disclosure: My drag coeffecient is 0.37 and yours is 0.35....... , My girl is chunky..... Your's is skinny. I have lost two pounds, the tires will be fully inflated, I am running premium unleaded fuel, I have practiced pushing back and forth on the steering wheel like a go-kart at the finish line and have picked up significant speed, the last Georgia Good Ole' Boy I took for a ride said it was " Full Boogie Man" , and last but not least she will have a brand new coat of wax. I don't know if Jim's will qualify as the definition of "Charitable Organization" but rest assured win or lose the trash talking will be priceless. " Mario Andretti will sure be proud of the way I'll be movin when I pass that crowd"..... To VICTORY!!!!!! Can't wait to see you guys. Dave |

Mr Nice,
So quiet? You have more or less guaranteed money to your favorite charity and you go quiet. Did we silence the 185MPH King? Just so you know I'm scrambling to rebuild my motor after a track day melt down last week. U-PICK-IT has a 6.0L truck engine with under 150K so I should be good to go. Rob |

Rob, If you don't get it running, you could always be DQ Dave's Navigator.
I'm sure he'd take it easy on you after all you've put him through.

Dearest Mr.Nice,
I see that you have responded to other posts but you choose to be quite when I have challenged you........ as my fine friend Mr. Walton has asked.... why now are you quiet???? shall I offer additional wagers, agitation, agrivation, .......surely you have the gumtion to respond, We grow tired of your cleverly disguised with charitable challenges of horsepower. This said, I must add, I have primed the Fetzer Valve with 3-in-One oil and Gauze Bandage, I have changed the Kanuter Valve, and....... I am Running fully roller Muffler Bearings. What say you Mr. Nice..... And for my friend Chris Bischoff.... that DG Dave comment is legit... my bad... but she was on the cam baby..... waiting for a reply ... Beuller ..... Beuller... |

Mr. Nice
Sorry for the late response. Travelining I have been ... Many Continents to see. I accept your wager for $ 500 Duckets. My Charity is the Childrens Miracle Network. ( Me try Linky, but Linky No-Worky) Perhaps if I had the help of such accomplished Techies... as Mr. Bischoff it would be different. Are you sure that thing runs that fast????? I mean you picked up six miles per hour over three runs???? Were you pulling back and forth on the steering wheel to pick up speed??? Chunky girl mine is, Untill your friends see you, fun to ride. Achieved 88 MIles Per Hour in an shopping center parking lot so be advised. Only weeks now people. I love the smell of Napalm in the Morning... It smells Like....., VICTORY Until the Day Mr. Nice Dave |

No! Try not. Do, or do not. There is no try.
--YODA, Star Wars Episode V: The Empire Strikes Back Win I did not. Send a $300.00 check to Rob's charity I have. Excuses offered I do not. Resolve the problem before 2013 SORC I must. $100.00 to Mr. Dave's charity it received. Good thing was wager. Sad I am not. Donations to Smile Train and Wounded Warriors from me they will receive.
