Its not  a particular car that is always fast ... It is usualy the driver
that pushes a car to go faster than the rest .. The talent level in this
area is higher than most any other place in the country. Learning to drive
from the best is one of the best ways to  go faster ..It only cost some
humility to ride with someone one to learn as opposed to spending alot of
money on car modifications. Thats is what the rookie program should be about
.. not them competing but learning
