And putting it in the gardrails a 5 sec car isn't something you simply point and shoot. Alot of owners will end up building somthing faster than there comfort level then throw a stack of money on it the pressure can be unbarable at times. Sometimes letting a seasoned driver pilot puts you car in safer hands.

Wow after reading that it could be interpreted that I was being a dick. Not so just wanting to share my veiw on hired guns.

It makes sense, but I don't see the enjoyment in it. Why own a car that is out of the range of the owner's skill level? I would have sacrificed a couple horsepower and saved the money for professional driving lessons, so I could actually enjoy my money pit.

My car isn't fast enough to throw down coin. The most I race for is an autographed dollar. Because Street Car.

Just saying brandon can't cut a light for shit.and I am the best hope he has to possibly get paid in a grudge race. The race is usually won or lost in the first 60 feet.
Corrected it for you. I have always wanted to do that..

What the fuck you want to do?
that makes a lot of sense! head up, with justice....hells yea hot damn. Quit bringin up a new race. I offered one, take it or leave it.

read what was bolded in the first quote. Come again crying. I didnt say I wanted to run your 302 base anything. Nor do I pick on cars. Picking on cars would be running scared until you build an aftermarket block car with a huge huffer, then call out a car that hasnt changed in 2 years.....

It really boils down to the purpose of your car.If ya built it to have fun your probably gonna drive it. If you built it to make money you do everything you can to make it faster somtimes that meens getting a driver that works well with the car. Just look at nascar I don't know if there are any owner drivers left. Never meant to say brandon didn't have skill I have seen him hop in sombodys car and cut a tenth off there best time.
