    Crewchief first, driver second.....I gotta build and tune it before I can race it!

      When I was growing up I wanted to be Keith Black or George Bignotti (Foyt's crewchief).
      Driving is cool, but I liked the machinery.

        I like wrenching and fab. Its kind of cliche, but I like making something out of cold hard steel.

          I always enjoyed driving more than building/setup, though it's been so long I would probably now suck at both. :'(

            Driver. It came easy for me. I got in a car and I could drive. I'm very detailed oriented and hyper sensitive to how a car drives. I learned how to wrench on my stuff from a lack of money standpoint. Although, I am more and more detailed oriented; I still lack the knowledge needed to be a good crew chief.

              I'd like to be a driver. Of course I've never actually done it, probably suck at it, but all I have under my belt are a few test and tune drag strip passes, all of which sucked :P

              Can't be much of a Crew Chief, cause I certainly don't make the most horsepower out of what I have.

              One of these days I might be one or the other :P

                  Yeah, I guess I'm both. And owner and sponsor and transporter driver and....

                    I also wear both hats but, I work cheap ;D

                    When Cam's old enough to drive, I will have no problem becoming Crew Chief till retirement.

                    Growing up driving big rigs and equipment since age 7 or so, I've never been afraid or intimidated to drive or operate anything, and I think that made me a better mechanic in some ways.

                      When I was helping my buddy with the NASCAR Modified, then later the Sprint car, I decided that I couldn't own a race car because of the money toilet they are; I couldn't drive because of the pressure to perform; and I couldn't crew chief because of the need to make snap decisions with limited information. I probably could do one or two of those thing with some measure of success, but I certainly wouldn't enjoy it.

                      I'm more of a crew member than either a driver or crew chief. Give me a wrench and tell me what to do with it, I'll enjoy that.

                        I was both. Now I am neither....

                            me too.

                            my dad and I attempting to work with each other in a rig revealed the value of a mechanic that understands, I ended up a mechanic. My dad still does not communicate well, when that bridge is built, of course it is a winner..

                            my lesson as being a driver more than a mechanic was a firnd named bill (RIP) who knew stuff I never knew existed. When I was going for a top speed run, he wanted nothing to do with driving.. but did want to know how it went, and made suggestions. This was two hillbilles and a junk chevy built in yard.

                            I still do both today, and fabricator.. it is hardly lonely, but having true friends as helpers is awesome.
