This sport wasn't built or grown on the backs of the guy with the most money that could go out and buy the best parts.. it was done on the backs of the tinkerer and the thinker and the innovator. The guys and gals who had a passion for doing things with their hands and understand why things worked and how to make them work better. There is a pride with accomplishing a build and all the trials and tribulations involved and then seeing the end result make a pass down the track. You don't get that when you buy everything complete and have someone else put it all together so you can drag it to the track and run it..
It might be easier and yeah Todd and Autumn might get on the track sooner if they decide to take that route, but the car and engine look to be in very capable hands and as frustrating as always building and not getting to drive may be.. in the end this is just as FUN as running the car down the track. Especially the quality time it has led to with the two of them doing it together.
I want to do this again with my dad, this time my wife and daughter can be involved and that's the special part of this build...
