John Shepard Goes Booooom!!

Well tonight at MIR raceway in Maryland, they were having imports vs. domestics
They had bunch of different classes and stuff. well john shepard has his good car out running in the pro-class . his first pass was a 9.1 or sumthing like that, ran a second time vs a pro-class turbo charged mustang, john had a 1.3 60 ft and about the 1000 foot mk his motor goes ca-pooof and flames are everywhere, well im guesin it was the motor but he didnt race the rest of the night and he was on the side chillin next to his car, and bunch of domestic rice guys were yellin at him sayin take that **** home. yes it was a sad day for mr. shepard!!

Even if you dont like imports, NO ONE has the right to antagonize John after his car blows up

Vendor bashing? What made you say that?

Too bad for John, but his "track record" with motors has been superb, so I guess it was bound to happen. Strange that the domestic guys would be talking smack. I would think they'd respect a 7-sec car no matter what it is, especially when it's manually shifted...

Domestic guys in Maryland rarely respect imports no matter how fast they are . You prob know this from living around there before.

I was just trying to be proactive before we hear some stupid crap about how John Shepard is running a certain vendor's motor, blah blah blah. That's all.

When you're trapping 195, I don't think people are going to bash the builder of the motor, especially when it has gone an entire year+ without blowing. No need to be so pessimistic. =P
