They all think that they are just as good as Ken Block and Tanner Faust. They do not realize the vast gulf in talent and experience between us mortals and those few top guys that get paid. Even if I am "that good" I know that I have not had anywhere near the practice time, so I am not by any means equal. What they also don't realize is how many cars those guys put into barriers learning how to do the stuff they do and even they get in a little too deep sometimes. I think I watched Tanner drop from 1st to 3rd one day because he came in a little too hot on the final curve. Difference is the safety equipment on those cars is top notch, they drive top of the line cars with the absolute best parts, they are super well maintained vehicles, they race in a controlled environment, and when they do wreck once in a while someone else picks up the bill.
