"Builder" or a "Driver"?

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.

Ya know, maybe there should be a third category here,
Are you a Builder, a Driver, or a Tuner?

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.

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.
