Maybe so but my box setup actually wins and competes in race's compared to your slow turd box setup.

Preparation leads to separation.
Success is never owned but rented, and the rent is due every day.

I'd be embarrassed to take that tackle box fishing much less show up to a race with it

I'd be embarrassed to comment about a racer who has won on all levels of racing and degrade them when you are a racer who has won nothing.

Well that escalated quickly.
Pretty sure DZ was also kidding. I think.
But DZ does prove that you don't need to spend hundreds of dollars on fancy boxes to be successful.
Meanwhile .... as I keep looking at boxes .... I'm still pretty sure that some of the new box designs would have to be worth a tenth .... or two.

Im not sure either, but its my fault for a bad attempt at busting his balls at the wrong time/place/subject matter/whatever.
No ill will here, and I agree DZ is the more accomplished racer.
Sorry on thread jacking what is otherwise a cool post showing pit boxes.

I did receive three messages from separate racers wanting to know who the A-hole was posting about my box though.

I do know the crash wasn't a Team order though.

I presumed so.
Guess they just don't realize how racing friends treat each other in Florida. After all .... there are certainly things I'd say to a friend that I'd never say to a stranger.

Sorry about that DZ, I felt bad because I believe you had the same issue in can am last year. To be fair, it wasn't one of my loaner cars. It was a car he bought fully assembled by me.

Wrecks are going to happen.
No worries.

Years of racing with Jack@$$ have led to you learning how to build dang-near bulletproof cars.
You should take Kyle and Wayne "The Pain" with you next year to goon the competition.
