Default I made the same stupid mistake twice...

Thought this was too funny to keep to myself.

Last week I race in Salem OH. Had a long rain delay. When I went to load the car on the trailer, I find I left the key in the on position. Dead battery. guys next to me help me out.

This week, I get the car loaded and go to drive the truck away, guess where I find my keys....that is right, in the on position and another dead battery

What are the chances of making the same stupid mistake on consecutive weekends?

Must have too much on your mind, or are just losing it.

I can top that. I forgot to turn the VSC (variable stall converter) on before one of my qualifying passes today. We talked about it, joked about it, Leo and Julio busted my ***** a little. What happened on the very next run? Forgot to turn it on again. Two stupid mistakes within an hour.

Paul, you should make up and use a check-list.

I got a little distracted today because we made more changes to the car. I've never forgotten to do that and yesterday I did it twice back to back. Go figure.
