"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.

I’m a learner that likes to go rounds.

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

Jon Sarrett · 06-29-2022, 08:46 AM

Yes!

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.

Good morning Billy,
I would like to think I'm a little of all three. Unfortunately my lack of personal time kinda prevents me from being good at any of them. I'll be giving you a call here shortly and we can discuss that at length. Have a good day and a Happy 4th of July to all.
God Bless America!

Respectfully,

I do everything but paint and align hone and balance cranks !! with that being said I can punish the valve train and driveline line with the best of them !! however I'm not really sure where the finish line is !! or the starting line for that matter !! and its been a long time since I beat the hell out of my car but I'm getting ready to punish it again !!! And I also pay the bills !! And another thing !! if that engines revving to the moon in the lights I prolly won't be lifting !! I guess I'm a little bit of everything except smart enough to lift LOL, Scott Gray formerly SS/L 1079
