Absolutely!
"Perfect is only the amount of error you are willing to accept" I need this on a sign in my shop.

Agreed!
Obviously there was a ton of awesome content here today, but the thought of Kurt and Warren participating in Prostock gave me chills. Even if it is just one race a year, I would love to watch that race. Warren is absolutely one of the reasons I became an engineer.

@@mekevin22 The only thing worse than Warren's arrogance is the blind ignorance of his fan club. (and his only successes were when his competition was either retired or "ruled" out of the game)

You obviously know nothing about the man - His testing and scientific methods transformed Pro Stock
What a name. Professor.
You can’t have enough horsepower, money and love.
A Professor teaches- Mr Johnson hands out lessons- huge gaps in reality.
DODGE BOYS, and put a BP monitor on Warren.
working in a tight tolerance (+/-.0005) aerospace hone shop, I'm happy to see Lake and Joe building something new.
A great driver. Not my favorite driver. If he wasn't winning it was someone else fault or he thought they were cheating.
Unpopular fact. Bob Glidden was the true professor and will alwas be the real goat of PS drag racing. Once the GM camp had to rely on the DRCE, all pro STOCK labels stopped being relevant. Bob dominated Warren until that time. No one cried harder when Glidden whooped everyone 5 years in a row. Not hate, just facts.

Glidden was the man
If switching from carbs to fuel injection was 300 horsepower in the marine application why was it worth zero on an NHRA pro stock motor. Multiple current pro stock racers say that fuel injection is universally disliked.
Warren was one of the accomplished racers during a time when everything was mechanical, and couldn't be programmed into a computer. His accomplishments were great but not possible without cubic money from GM. I have always thought NHRA was one sided, skewed towards Chevrolet. I have always favored Mopars and Fords as they always seemed like underdogs. People like Glidden and Roush (and others) found the performance in the other brands (with the aid of lots of money). Sure I could buy a Chebbie but what fun would that be. I feel better beating on a Mopar (and coming up short) than just giving up and turning to Chevrolet. But that's what makes the world go round. Would I let Warren build me a killer Chev (Oldsmobile), hell yea. Would I put it in my 73 Cuda...Hell no.
Warren is a great guy to talk shop with, I just wish he would shut the f$%k up about his politics. Dude has been such a legend and pillar of engine building it's a shame he ever strays away from that. Always has been one of the best to ever do it.
arrogance on full display
DRCE what a cheater block.
Tell the guy with glasses to settle down, just let the guest talk. He's got info or tales we want to know about. Your not the pro. Thanks
Poor Warren, what annoying interview.
A angry little man....
Never cared for him, had the best crew chief tho, Greg Anderson, without Greg, Warren was out in the first round
I am getting sick of these love fests.
WJ was the worst poor sport in racing history. Loved Curt tho.
