I hope this is a good thing.
Sounds good.No reason it shouldn't be!! LOL
A more apt comparison is someone who runs a small company. Owns the company, does the books, drives the truck, serves the customers, answers the phone, cleans the restrooms, etc. There are lots of those in the world, and they are much on the same level as a driver/owner/tuner like Wilkerson. Yet they don't get people cheering them on and stopping them in a restaurant asking for their autograph. And they don't get to drive a 300mph funny car.
Chris, you're missing the point. The driver/owner has to do all the things you listed plus be able to compete at the highest level in the sport. The point is that there are very few individuals capable of doing that successfully.
Please walk into your nearest small business, your nearest tech startup for example, and tell them they can't or aren't competing at the highest level.
So bottom line, drag racing rules all, and nitro driver/owners are even above the Gates and Jobs of the world in my pecking order.
