Truth, credit, reality!
Yep, its me, just stumbled upon this post...and now the shit will get deep!
Chris, hate to say it bro but you were NOTHING before me! I HANDED YOU YOUR ONE AND ONLY DB DRAG RACING CHAMPIONSHIP! remember that always my old friend! OH, and who was the man behind the scenes for your other beloved big number? oh yeah, I remember who was with you and why when you set the over all highest number in USAC a few years later...man, thats gotta really dig in deep huh? the only 2 things you have to brag about for accomplishments and both setups can be traced back to me...SIZZLE man!
Oh and the TRF/shocker/TC connection...we gonna hit that one too huh! ok, just remember who opened the can of worms "bro"! Lets see...Thilo designed the 4hp, yep, we all know that, and who got a prototype for that, oh yeah...ME! and who had lost his job for at classic stereo and why??? I remember the reason Chris do you? shall I say it here? do you want everyone to know? it won't be slander if what I say is true...dare me dude, dare me to share! So, you were BROKE and needed money and I let you hang around me and I showed you how to recone (man that must hurt your feelings that people will know that you didnt' teach me as you have been saying to people for years...lol) and you were helping me test protos, remember? too long ago, still a little cloudy? let me refresh for ya "bro" I had gotten a prototype 4hp woofer from Thilo which I was testing, I liked it but also wanted to test a 3" version which at the time didn't exist so I had one made ( i know, bigtime design there right? lol, oh well)! It turned out using all the same soft parts but with 3" we had better results so I went in production with the 3" version...no big deal, and chris had a golf car that he used to take to shows and asked for the 4" proto to put on it ( i have pics bro don't try to deny)! anyhow, 3 months after he was given that proto he took it to rockford and claimed to them that he designed this woofer, **** THAT HURTS DON'T IT! Sure, he called nuway and had them make a 4" version of the cone I was using at the time...Sure he ordered a YELLOW, OMG YELLOW spider from TC instead of a black one like I used! But all in all his megawoofer was nothing more than the TC4hp proto that was made for me, paid for by me and given to him by me! The way he paid me back for all that I had done for him is he went to rockford a company that could afford to do something big and handed to them a woofer that they wouldn't have produced without him in turn cutting my legs out from under me! Way to treat your friends "bro"! I HAD EVERYTHING I OWNED RIDING ON THE SUCCESS OF THE SIG AND WHEN ROCKFORD STARTED HANDING THEIR VERSION OUT FOR FREE....LITTLE MAN LOST HIS ***....NO BIGGIE THERE THOUGH RIGHT CHRIS? YOU GOT YOUR FORTUNE AND FAME OUT OF IT! PFFT, and who STEPPED on who? yeah, thats what I thought...and you know what sux for you dude, that is true so it isn't slander.....(sizzle sizzle burn)
Do I care that chris got "credit" for the TRF? nope, did he really design it? nope...did I? nope, did Thilo, yep! Thilo built them, chris reconed them, good job man, you rock at least I have my one of a kind motor that really was made for me only and I actually built every single one of them by hand myself!
so, since you wanted to set the record straight, I felt it only right that it should be set straight...now, if you would care to dive any deeper...that's your choice, just tread careful as if you slip up and slander, you will be held liable. Oh, and if you dare open that can of worms that I know you are just dying to open, be prepared for the total unleashing of laundry you really don't want to bring to the public eye...I promise it will have more of an impact on you than it does me!
