Default Re: Congrats to CHP, NHRA

Plenty of folks have accomplished admirable things over the years. They just don't go around beating a personal drum to draw attention to it. I'm not about to go into what I've accomplished with my life, but I sure did find the little wisecrack funny. If that little funny bothers you, then maybe you should take a deep breath and count to ten. [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/whistle.gif[/img]

I don't think that Mcneish has any ego issues that I saw. Others on this site have said the same. I found him to be humble and helpful with all of my projects......and answers a lot of my stupid questions! If he chooses to put a link on his site about having a good race season, that's being a good businessman. I would do the same.

I also know that he's working on some MAJOR sponsorships for next season. I see nothing wrong with promoting a great race season.

Tim Bishop who is a life long friend of mine had nothing but high praise for Mcneish as a person and racer. Bishop and others on this site helped in my decisions on how to spend my hard earned money on an engine rebuild.

Hi Bob.

There's no question in my mind -- Tim is a great guy. I have no reason to believe Jerry isn't a great guy too. But sometimes what folks write and portray on internet bulletin boards and in other places comes off as self-serving. Sometimes it sounds <span style="text-decoration: underline">even more </span>than self-serving. And plenty of people (me included) don't find that particularly.... uhm flattering.

Count me out. I have nothing more to say on the topic. I'm done.
