    That right there shows you why I still like the fast car starting at the tail of the field.

The skill set you halft to have to make these cars dig into the track and go. Also the variables that go into decision making, its so much going on in your head and to keep this all in working order is monumentle. Im so happy for him to see years of trial and error come together. Hard work is very rewording. There is always a winner in the race, just wish people would know how much it takes to get there and its all for our entertainment.

    At the start of this video they mention his heat win. Only reason why he won, was because Berky blew his motor. He would not have caught up to Berky during the heat (not enough laps). Don't get me wrong, Scott is the greatest LM driver ever.

      Think Jeff Purvis was , but I give scott credit. He chased Jeff around the tail end of his dirt career and said . "if Im going to be the best , I have to beat the best, while others drivers avoided Jeff Purvis and did not want to race if he was going to show up at the dirt track most of the time, but I would have scott likely 2nd on my all time list.
