What's it like living vicariously through Jay Matus' victories?

Just to totally derail the thread for you Viking, I just got back from shooting some demo laps of the various configurations for the TWS website. The 3.1 using Nascar 3 & 4 onto the front straight is kinda spooky. So much g from the banking I could take my hand off the throttle hand control and it would stay down on its own.
This was my fourth day on track in a row. I don't want to drive any more. My collar bones have Hans bruises. I'm gonna go take a nap and think about how tough life is for me.

Which proves you're not half the expert you think you are and confirms common opinion of you.
When people start telling other people they're going to take weight out of the car, it raises questions. If that's a problem for you, take it up with your driver.

I don't live vicariously through Jays wins. - I took a street car to a shell, built it exactly as I wanted it,rollcage and everything to my design, with Jay paying me to do it. Now I enjoy seeing the car I built, being driven very well, beat many cars and set new track records.
Jay and I have discussed that we switch and I drive the car and he wrench, but I'm not really sure about him as a wrench.
Seriously, I find a larger challenge in making other drivers go faster. With data and video, coaching has become a very fun way to see just how good I really am. It's one thing to be able to do it yourself where you have total control of everything, but to be able to watch someone else, figure out what they need to go faster and then be able to transfer that knowledge to them is much more rewarding, atleast to me.
Oh, and in case you didn't know, I do get out onto track occasionally and I can still get around ok for an old washed up mechanic. So when will you have a car back out on track ? I have personally a few different track/race cars still and also have half a dozen friends that offer up their cars all the time for me to drive. Let me know when you are ready and we can try some wheel to wheel together.

Considering that the trailing arm, trailing arm pocket, hub, lower control arm, upper control arm, axle stub, brake rotor, differential, and subframe were all destroyed "when [I] wrecked [my] BMW", it's clear your opinion is pure crap.
Ever have any luck getting the other guy to pay for it like you said you were going to do ?

I'll be back on track when time and budget allows. I'm going to a new chassis and drivetrain and things are certainly progressing. When I do get back, it'll be interesting to see if you continue to insult me when given the opportunity to do so in person. I'm now curious to know if your character isn't significantly different in person than it is on the internet.
Now seriously, I posted 13 times here in 5 years before today, so I'm sure my annual rennlist stipend is exhausted. See you around.

Wow. What a bitter guy, eh? It's funny to see him claim that Viking insulted him when the exact opposiite appears to be true x500 words.
And note Greg's total silence on this.....but he sure piped up in a hurry at Viking.

What the hell are you talking about Dave? Your reply didn't deserve a response... so I didn't. Viking originally made what appeared to be a cheap jab at DD, and I called him out on it.
