You missed his point completely.

Half the junk at drag strips today is underachieving. Not because the dyno was bad, but because the owner/tuner isnt qualified to run a timing light.

Or they think any shock will do. Or a hundred other things that they **** up and blame the tool for.

I race with a lot of mid 30 guys and I swear they can’t change the oil without getting on Facebook and calling in the troupes but most of them are good drivers. The oldtimers build their engines as they have little interest in learning how to do it. My son wouldn’t port a set of heads if you paid him 5000.00. Zero interest.
