"Builder" or a "Driver"?
I stole this question off of the H.A.M.B.. So sue me.
Simple question, is there a simple answer?

Both, simple answer lol.

I like to work on the cars and drive them ,get the same satisfaction making them nice as I do driving them.

Back when I got started, I could go fast and could win because their was no breakout. I called myself a builder. Years later (and the breakout) I started winning a few races, so I called myself a driver.

Are you a Builder, a Driver, or a Tuner?

Jon Sarrett · 06-29-2022, 08:46 AM

I'm not near as smart as alot of you guys on this board so I guess I'm going have to call myself a driver.

I like building them more than I do driving them!

We've had this conversation several times over the years, if there was a gun put to my head and I had to pick one or the other, definitely a builder. Racing is validating that you did it right.
