On top of that your equating the vipers success to some ridiculous amount of modifications while the fact remains its a near stock car with simple headers, exhaust and filter. You came off as saying the viper couldnt do as well without said technology or such massive upgrades. Thats where people got mad at you about.
NOT TO MENTION ITS A MAJOR DISS TO THE DRIVERS, WHO ARE DOING THE ASS KICKING WITHOUT THE DA'S! (But maybe you wouldn't know about that, if you have never competed in a Viper or similar No-Gizmo car). I have actually been surprised at John's diplomacy, and that the one comment you point out is all that has come out from him. Take a lesson in class from him, and move on. You aren't that good of a driver (or you would be in F1, IRL, NASCAR or a ROLEX car)...and by putting "king" in your name, makes you seem arrogant, which you apparently are. Getting bent because someone spelled your name incorrectly? Any you can't seem to spell anyway. These are just observations, not flaming you. I think everyone appreciated your input on the events, just not the disrespect of the Viper and its team, esp drivers. Learn from this and bring a measure of diplomacy when you talk about the race. Simply put, the more you respect others, the more you will gain the respect of others.
