I need help !!!
Hi, my name is Dan and I'm a drag-a-holic...
I went down with a bad back right after Thanksgiving...2 weeks in bed..I thought last wed. night was the last test n' tune of the year at Orlando Speedworld...I get out of bed and go to the track only to find out last night was the actually the end of racing for a month... :crazy: ...last week put me back in bed but I'm slowly getting better...
Yesterday I'm horizontal, in bed, and it's a cold, crisp day (for Florida)...I start looking at the clock around 4 PM...by 4:45 I'm shaking, my mouth is dry and it's hard to breathe...at 5 PM I'm in my car heading to the track... :eek:
It' obvious I need one of two things....an intervention or a motor home to live at the track...help me please... :D :lolg:
FWIW I got 6 runs in bringing my total for the year to 218 runs...I did get to see GTB/ZR1 run his 368 SGC factory black motor ZR1...he's an SCCA racer and comes to the drag strip only once or twice a year...he ran 11.85 @ 123.5 mph on all motor... :thumbs:
Okay, I feel better for admitting my problem...I need to go now and search the web to see which track in Florida opens first in January... :lolg: :lolg:

Unfortunately it's also my last step...I've already got another shoe box for next year's time slips and I'm scheming to get down to Moroso on Jan. 15th... :lolg:
Ooops...make that the 14th... :D

Re: I need help !!! (Fuzzy Dice)
It will be OK, In time you will be hitting the tree, slamming on the breaks so you don't breakout. Soon you will be cursing about why I did not hit the tree better or hit the brakes sooner. :crazy:
Don't worry, You will be stressing yourself sooner then you think.
You are stressing out not racing. :lol:
