vintage racer

Brain Meakings - Datsun 510

went racing on the weekend at mission. and by that, i mean a friend went racing and i helped a bit. friday was a long day of practice sessions and me doing the paper work and checking tires. the rest of the weekend i was corner working with meta at turn 8/9. i enjoyed the work, but some of the people are really weird. i'm glad Jo was there from ice racing to keep me sane. there was also a girl there my age, who only made it out sat. as she was sick sunday. it was nice to see i'm not the only twenty-something doing this.
as for the team, they qualified 5th after the two sessions, but broke the oil pump in the 2nd qualifying session sunday morning. they got it fixed, only to have it break again during the race. when it happened, Gary was running second overall (1st in class) with less than 10 mins left in the 30 minute race.
the weather changed all day keeping all of us on our toes. sometimes it was quite wet, but then it would dry out just in time for it to sprinkle again.
i think i will do this again a few times before the season's out. there are a few races down in seattle and two more here in mission. it something i enjoy, i just have to get over some of the people, or infiltrate their little clique.
