Isn't the essence of lock in money to incentivize the participant that is able to race if the other party can not. The other guy acknowledged he is short on his end of the agreement.

That's what my understanding was.

what is the setup of both cars?

My car is a cam only 3.8 with a 67mm turbo on E85.
His car was a cam only 5.3 (LS4) with a s480 turbo on more boost than me and e85.

My car has a full exhaust that's quiet.
He had a 4" racecar dump out the fender.

nope neither showed neither win.

do you win money at a casino or get paid at work or anything else if you dont show up?

broke or not fact is neither showed.....

when you lock in for a race and the other guy calls and says his car is broke and he wont be coming, you get paid to not show up to a race thats how it works

I get that but since he forfeited ahead of time and acknowledged it I see where Nick is entitled to the lock in money because he would have made it otherwise. If I locked in for a specific date and broke before hand then I'd expect to lose that money regardless if the other person went to the track or not. It's different if it is day of.

thats all supporting mods for a cam, besides the trans thats a supporting mod for the turbo

right and that car wouldnt be nearly as fast on stock pump and injectors or intake on e85....

its anything but a stock car with a cam........ lol

no one will ever know the whole story.....

cam + fuel system + e85 + turbo kit + mega buck trans......

stock other than a cam could be like a baby vs cam stock springs stock roller stock fuel pump stock injectors.

i dont get where everyone says it has a cam so everything else = stock lol....

so apparently if it has a cam in it everything else doesnt matter whats been done.

giant difference between a car with just a cam and a car that has cam and every bolt on plus fuel pump plus injectors
