Words of wisdom.

Post by Wrightracing.net »

The heart of a true Off Road Racer is to go fast where most
would slow down, but have the wisdom to slow down at times,
so you may go fast again.

To finish first, you must first finish.

If you build it, it will break, so prep, prep, prep, and prep again before race day
and you will be a happier racer.

If you think you know everything, you are truly the fool.

What are your words of wisdom???

From my father: "A little is good, a lot's better, and too much is just right."

The harder you work, the luckier you become.

The best way to make a small fortune in racing is to start with a large one and work down from there.

The rule of 4's when building your truck...

Everything takes 4 times longer than you plan and costs 4 times as much as you figure it will.

If it doesn't fit force it, if it breaks, it needed replacing anyway.
