What you are saying is partially true , just about evyone in any sport does Practice makes perfect and a person wins cause they practice more in what ever sport you are in . this is a given so how does a person beat a person who is really good cause he has more practice than all others , "luck " is the word big time . now on occassion a person can win with out luck but very seldom. Most racers know exactely how to win just like the touring pros racers ,but the touring pros practice more and win more based on facts . don't say if you think you are beaten you are that is for someone who does not know how to race or a rookie or what ever ,me personally no one can control my emotions ,I just need some luck . LOL Let the touring pros comments begin so they can protect their advantage that they know they have over all others with more seat time only.

Don,I said it before and I'll say it again.It isn't only seat time.Some guys could get enough seat time to grow award winning hemorrhoids and still never win a race.The people who win the most have a total grasp on what it takes to win.Experience,knowing your car,weather conditions,car prep,finish line technique AND a little luck thrown in.
Reading your posts convinces me that when and if you have to race ove of these guys
you're likely to fold up like a cheap wallet.You wpould seem to be besat before you strap yourself into the car.
Back on topic,Chris,just keep going and try to cut out the distractions,especially living your life on here,and concentrate on making you and dad better drivers and getting the best feedback you can get on the car from those you trust.The rest will fall into place.If all else fails send Mandy to a course taught by Lee Zane and then turn her loose on NHRA stock eliminator.
