@ Ember - Instead of crying foul, do something that will change everyone's opinion, win with them...
Hey Ember... evidently you missed this part of what HurriCrane said before you started ranting.... again.
You know... I would say to stop while you are ahead... but you aren't even on the lead lap with this conversation or idea.... do something outside of your comfort zone here (be smart) and go off and lick your wounds... you are only digging a deeper hole for yourself... and trust me... whatever cub dad is coming in here looking for weights for his kid's car will most likely be turned off of the Puma weight system now because of your incessant bantering.

What a train wreck of a thread this turned into!
Ember, why would anyone want to run those Wiggle Weights? They were popular for a short time until apparently everyone but you and Joe figured out a better way. That's how racing goes! It's a shame that Joe didn't listen, he could have saved himself quite a bit of money and aggravation.

First let me say that I have followed this post from the beginning (thanks Reggie
) and do not have any bias either for or against wheel weights. I am also new enough that I have no bias for or against any of the people responding to this. I have no dog in this hunt and have nothing to gainBracketracer you are correct! What a train wreck of a thread this turned into!
Hurricrane,
I feel your response above is well thought out, considerate and very well articulated! It appears that you have based your building decisions on both what you believe and what the market has done in an effort to build faster cars.
Based on what has transpired here, If I was making a recommendation to a Scout dad, I would tend to steer them toward weighting the body.
This thread should have been 2 posts, but we have couple guys with other agendas

Please point to where I cried foul anywhere...... You won't, because you can't.
Please point to any baseless claims I've made, or where I spread bad information..... You won't, because you can't.
Please point out why wheel weights used to be competitive, but now are not..... You won't, because you can't.
Please give me your opinion on Gee fenders. You won't, because you're a biased coward who daren't rock that boat.
Not only are you a hypocrite, you're also a disingenuous poser. Because you build a fast car, and know a reserve of mindless buffoons hang on your every word, you feel emboldened to make accusations without merit, with no fear of reprisal from anyone but myself. I give you the credit that is due when it comes to your builds, you play in the deep end on the track. However, here on the forum, you and the dreck that surround you are nothing more than single cell, shallow end dwellers that require the use of floaties.
Since the obvious has seemed to escape you, let me help clear it up . I've never stated wheel weights are better than any other weighting system, only that I like them, and pointed out the advantages they might offer. If you can show otherwise, now would be the time to post it. But you won't, because you can't.
However, you and your zombie henchman on the other hand , have firmly stated they are not as good as other weighting systems, so please take the time to prove your assertions. I'm all ears, please factually explain why wheel weights are inferior. But you won't, because you can't.
Hopefully, today is your turn to use the brain cell, and you can actually muster an answer, instead of simply offering your typical factless drivel.
And remember, you're the one who puffed up and chose to jump into this with the comment "My turn". Well you got your turn, I hope it's all you thought it would be.

This sucks... you can like a comment... but you can HATE a comment.
Hey Doink (That is you Ember)... you have a LOOOOOOONG way to go in this hobby before you have the cred to call a National Champ a poser, a coward, or a hypocrite.
Quit being such an argumentative POS and go away for a while... it will do you some good.

VK is a good dude, though. Just likes to walk off the beaten path a bit. But he doesn't go on rants or go completely postal at times.
