I can understand Jeff's hesitation to race. He just finally got it back after a long build so I'm sure he's not in too big of a hurry to go out and break it.

Which is great for a track car taking a lot of driver error out of the equation.

He's a ginger, he's used to that so he cant' possibly be afraid it of it any longer.
I don't understand the mentality of people who talk about being afraid of losing especially if there is no money on the line. If there is no money, there is no loss, so then it's just fun racing, so what's to be afraid of?

Hard to lose if you don't race so I agree with your logic.

F U tons of fun. And there is no point of me racing a 3v just to prove I was always right. If you want a good race mustang1200 hen you need to race against Sayle.

If you don't race, nothing has been proven other than you wont race. Just because in theory you MIGHT make more power than him doesn't mean it's an automatic win for you. You never know, he could be sandbagging you.
His car could be a lightweight auto car with full suspension that could give you a run for your money for all you know. You don't know if you don't race him.
I dunno, maybe I'm wrong and you are scared...

Trust me I'm not scared. I mean since his car is soooooooooooooooooooooooooo badass I might as well wait till my car is totally done cause I might need all 800 hp to beat his 570 hp.
