I have ran about 14 gal since last nov. Raced all over from Central Oh to ATL Ga. I run truck only. I have slowed down lately in the peak season probably 15-20 hrs a week of work doing whatever. 75% of your success is how well prepared your are. And in my opinion there is no substitute for track time. Making sure ur prepared is key to being able to make setup changes and feeling the difference the changes make. If you come to the track chasing a motor or screws are coming out, then you really don't feel motivated to try anything, all the more reason for having good dependable equitment.
