It's the only way to be, IMHO.

We agree? How'dthathappen

Jack I never think about losing either. I love catching a competitor off guard. I street raced alot when I was young and lived in the Buffalo area. You never knew if your competitor had more than claimed or was just trying to fake you out... I lined up and raced. Later years bracket racing I never thought "gee this guy has a string of near perfect lights" or "oh no" the track champ. Didnt matter as long as I did my part. Revisited street racing thru my 40's... alot more risk. More than money at stake as well. Someone came looking for me... Simply set terms and said lets go. I much prefer to simply take action, "is it a race? lets go!" Prefer to save the smack for after the race.

Competitive I am... my style is just different than yours Jack. I plan to win... period.

I'llthen eventually get my car done... we can set terms and we'll race. When I say I'm ready I will be ready. Until then it sucks I'm on the sidelines. Life happens.
