"In any race, the hardest mile is never the first, but almost always the last."
Don't get me
wrong here, this stretch has been great!! I have gotten to see people I have
not seen at the races in years, got to see some different race tracks, and
timing systems while just having an all around good time. The camaraderie and general
good attitude of most racers is just enjoyable to be around and makes it fun to
go to the race track. Working at the track is a little different, in the aspect
that seeing people do well is fun, especially when its people you hang out with
after the races are done.
To tell the truth though, I am a little burnt out. It is also a lot of work
getting to and from from all these race weekends too. Add to that the fact that
everything you normally get done on the weekend; mowing the yard, cleaning the
garage, doing other stuff around the house now has to get done during the week
at night after work. Did I mention the fact that since September 1st, we have
been losing 3 minutes of daylight per day? In other words, its getting dark
earlier folks, which means less time to get stuff especially out door tasks
done at night after work. It all adds up to getting more done, in less time,
with more stuff waiting for your next available time slot. It can really wear
on a person if you let it.
I saw a sign on the Conference Grounds, a camp ground right on
That's all for now, I'll have another installment shortly after Primm. Until then, I'll see you in the Staging Lanes.
