How's the car do with you behind the wheel?

Another driver?

Trent seems pretty BA for a driver. I'd like to hear what others/more inexperienced drivers could do with a like setup.

Trent you owe me no thanks for driving the car but I appreciate it.

What does the car do with ME behind the wheel? A lot worse. Who cares what it does with someone who sucks in it, I surely don't. The key to any racing is the guy behind the wheel. You can have the greatest car in the world and if you suck as a driver you aren't going to win.

The video, I have to have Jarrod edit, host and then post the videos I took tomorrow. Tom however has some video of today and he said he would post it tonight when he got back to his hotel.

I think the best part of the day was when we where in the staging lanes and popped the hood and like 20 people came over to check it out. Mostly v8 guys there and one guy ask me "Can you drive this on the street" and i said "Yes he takes his kids to school in it all the time, and gets 26 MPG!.

The look on his face was priceless!

haha, you didn't tell me that. I did notice any time the hood went up there was a flock of guys drawn to it. It's a good feeling. BTW, Trent, you need to change your signature.

I think he cares because if the car's owner wasn't driving it than the times are just for show!

( i understand that as a tuner/builder/fabricator you must show off what you can do but come on dave go for it!!!)

WTF do you mean just for show? What are times for in the first place? To show how fast a car is.

I guess our black shop car is just for show too, seeing as how I own it and my brother drives it.............

I gaurantee I am slower in the car than Trent. I also gaurantee if I jump into John Force's funny car I am slower too, doesn't mean the car isn't fast though, just means I don't have the same ability.

If your excuse for your car being slow is "you" suck, I highly recommend putting someone else in it to see what your hard earned money got you if you weren't a retard. (that paragraph is not directed at anyone ONE person in particular) It applies to me and I abide by it.

Sorry, I mean to show off what your parts/tuning are capable of, obviously not for "shows".

Racing car's are a nother shebang all together...
