I just think that we all would enjoy a win (more), driving a car that we built and/or had alot of hard work in. Having said that, however much you spend and however much you do, it will be my pleasure to sit beside you and compete. We are all competitors, just at different levels and different view points. Sorry if you were offended

I wasnt offended at all, but if you look at the big picture there are alot of owners that dont drive. I for one own 2 jr dragsters and have quit racing myself so my kids can, so I'm sort of a car owner now and when my kids won IHRA iron men it was a better feeling than any race I have won.
