Playing at the Track

The 'strip

sunday was the last race of the year. the last. of the year... i guess the wait for ice racing will only be a short 3.5 months which will include some frantic car prepare.

i managed to be awake and at the track for the 8am workers' meeting, and was spent the day at Turn 1 (T1). Being the long weekend, attendance was skimpy - drivers and workers. With that, there was only a couple workers at each turn, and not that many photo worthy cars. But then again, i was too busy anyways.

i debated going over breakfast, and the final argument to myself that made me go was this: this is who i am, who i want to be. So to the track i went. i met some more great workers, one who should be at ice racing too this year, as well as spent time talking to Andy from Specialty Engineering. he builds some of the best race cars in the Pacific NW. he just broke the track record at Portland for his class (GT1) in his own car. and a car he built broke the GT3 record at Mission on Sunday, the car and driver's first time there.

This is what I want to do. But how do I get there?
