Correct and to that end we change up things randomly And what might appear erratically but has actually been thought through cost/benefit/risk analysis, so far were on the loosing side of those calculations but well be back soon.....right now my only focus is the Truck, everything else is in good shape to get some HP added to the Combo 2 and 3 steps now working properly, engine checked thoroughtly perfect, gonna try some suspension adj on the nose to improve the 60' as its been hammered down and I wanted to start there and loosen from there.......

perfect answer . Luck is the most important aspect of racing . Luck can win over any pro sportsman racer who is a better driver cause of more seat time and more practice or any other aspect of winning against another racer >

You guys arent cursed and you arent the only ones going through this stuff. Its a 'teething process' of sorts, I went through it 3 years ago, and have been going throught it again this year. All the veterans call it taking you lumps, or earning your stripes, keep forging on sooner or later you'll se the forest for the trees.

I love when Dan Fletcher writes his column for digger because I dont feel as bad when thing go wrong, Drooze took it to a whole other level. Half the fun is just getting there. I saw Dion luck this last week end at Mission good thing it rained and had time to fix it. I have a friend that blows trailer tires where ever he goes not one but how many in one trip. Me new computer, weather station, pager none of it work properly this weekend at Mission, pages 7.668 in my 12 second stocker about threw it in the river that reminds me got to call Don. Its all just part of racing

It's nothing new for sure, but to me, seat time is the most important aspect of a potentially successful formula if you are new to this game. More seat time usually does away w/the new (young OR old) racer's early driving mistakes. Seat time calms you down. Seat time gets you to KNOW your car. Seat time gives you EXPERIENCE, which breeds good luck, imo. Breakage and parts carnage?....well that's usually not luck, but something most all new race combo's go thru until the weaknesses in certain parts (or in the driver, ha) are found.... Exceptionally detailed racecar preparation also tends to create success in this sport, but a seasoned, calm driver w/ intelligent tree savvy still is the biggest factor in putting on your win light.....Just another 2.2 cents worth from a for-the-moment-retired (since '05) and racecar-less racer now intently watching from the peanut gallery.

If your racing people like....Dan Fletcher, Peter Biondo, Anthony Fetch, Lee Zane,and quite a few others your gonna need all the luck you can muster because even with luck your probably still going to lose......They don't win because they are lucky.....sometimes yes, but most of the time they win because they know way more than you do about what is about to happen when they go down the racetrack against you.......and you will make the mistake that will cost you the win before they do

I'd like to know the percentage of people who redlight against them and give them an extra time run....
