Ask yourself one question: Who am I competing with??
As for me, I could give less than a two toed Duck what anyone thinks of my builds or what they run. 100% couldn't care less. It's for me, my way, my money, my fun! And if the world is in the 3's on the street's in the 1/8 mile, well jippity joppity for them! I'm truly happy for them. If my van runs a 10.9 in the 1/8, I'm having just as much fun. :) :)
