I am planning on going to the track next week. I saw him launch twice and he had ZERO wheel spin. Your right, he may not have been an amazing driver but there really isn't a way to know. I know that i am not an amazing driver either.
Also keep in mind i didn't say i beat him. Mearly that he didn't **** on me as bad as i thought he would.
With slicks i imagine i run mid 12's

And i can post videos cause i dont have any lol. I need to buy a helmet cam or something.

I agree though, whipping through traffic has absolutely no bearing on how good of a driver someone is.

Completely agree. I'm lousy at whipping through traffic because I'm a ***** and think it's dangerous. I can probably tree 90% of the drivers here in an automatic, but I suck at shifting a manual quickly.

The message is, there's a lot more to driving fast than just whipping through traffic, or any ONE other thing!
