Long Hot Summer

It's been a while since I posted anything; have not had a great deal to say.

This year has been pretty bad for driving. I've not done enough of it, and the summer heat is making it hard to get to the track. In addition, I'm trying to save up for a house remodel effort (more garage space, yay!) so I'm loath to spend too much on the car.

I'm getting faster, but so is the competition. I'm sitting second in the time trial right now, and my main competition just switched to the same car I'm driving. Pretty funny. I'll take it as a compliment.

The thing is, driving is increasingly a mental sport for me. I need to have my head right, or I'm slower. If I can get a good picture of what I want to do, and stay focused, I can go like hell.

One reason I have little to say is that I find I need to say something that I hope others will value. If I can't say that, it's pretty useless to post to a blog, right?

So I don't have a takeaway for you this time round. If you're racing, keep the spirits up and the car on track. If you're not racing, give it a shot. It's a life changer. I'll post more when I find something more significant to say.
