"Dunning-Kruger Effect"
-a type of Cognitive bias where people with little expertise or ability assume they have superior expertise or ability. This overestimation occurs as a result of the fact that they do not have enough knowledge to know they don't have enough knowledge.

Before you argue with someone ask yourself, "Is this person mentally mature enough to grasp the concept of a different perspective?" If not there is no point to argue.

Don Schumacher Racing
·
It is with heavy hearts that the Schumacher family announce the passing of motorsports icon Don Schumacher. The NHRA team owner and Funny Car pioneer had spent the past several months privately battling lung cancer before succumbing to illness-related complications on Wednesday, December 20.
Schumacher, who was 79 at the time of his passing, leaves a lasting legacy on not only the NHRA community, where he etched his name as one of the sport’s most successful team owners and a champion for the advancement of safety innovation, but on the motorsports community as a whole. Schumacher’s contributions to the auto racing industry reach far beyond drag racing and have been widely recognized.

Very sorry to hear that. He was certainly a huge factor in drag racing. Rest in peace Mr. Schumacher.


When everything is coming your way, your probably in the wrong lane.

The difference between ignorance and stupidity. Ignorance is lack of knowledge. Stupidity is the inability to learn. Don't be stupid

When you think of some of the greatest in Drag Racing History, Garlits, Force, Burnstien, Hill, Muldowney, Prudhomme, Don Shumaker is in that class. He probably made a bigger impact as a Team Owner to the sport than he did as a driver. Those contributions may not be as obvious but important just the same. His Team Championships were an indication of his drive and innovation.

I believe had Blaine Johnson and Gary Ormsby lived they to would be in that small elite class.

Don Shumaker was one of best in NHRA history, may he Rest In Peace.
