Daily Driver

There are elements that are crucial to success in our racing. And there are elements that we believe to be crucial to success in our racing. Let's talk about where comfort zones fall. 

'Do the next right thing' is a mantra for many struggling with addiction or can be words to live by for many who have overcome tremendous setbacks. How can we relate it to drag racing? Racing is a difficult pursuit - that’s what draws so many of us to it (and holds our passion - because sustained perfection is truly unattainable). To move forward in racing we must 'Do the next right thing'. 

This seems to come up a couple of times of year, and it's the complaint of staging games. I want to address this, but I’m way past the point of sugar coating it. 

In this week's episode I wanted to look at the correlation between of being hyper focused and success. Is that competitive sociopath mentality the only path to success? Or can we strive to be both focused and have fun?

“In this way you must understand how laughable it is to say, ‘Tell me what to do!’ What advice could I possibly give? No, a far better request is, ‘Train my mind to adapt to any circumstance.’... In this way, if circumstances take you off script… you won’t be desperate for a new prompting.” - Epictetus

The above quote is what I am focusing on for this week's Daily Driver episode and it's centered around our current ThisIsBracketRacing ELITE open enrollment period. Love listening to the Daily Driver but want more? Check out ELITE and join today at thisisbracketracing.com/elite.

On this week's Daily Driver, I'm visiting one of the reoccurring questions that comes up in ThisIsBracketRacing in regards to health. Does diet and exercise impact performance?

This episode comes in right on the heels of the exclusive ThisIsBracketRacing Junior Fest where our members are able to get on the track and implement the things we discuss. Our goal at our live events, be it junior dragsters or even our big car ELITE Fest, is to stretch our attendees. To challenge them. The result is a microcosm of growth in general. 

As a racer you have a reputation among your competitors. They have identified the way that you race; and they use that reputation to gameplan (and to execute) against you. You could live up to the reputation or you could choose to defy it.

This episode will be Part 5, and I think the final installment, of the "How Do They Live The Dream Life?" series here on the Daily Driver. I started out this series by focusing on mindset, specifically a growth mindset. It seems only fitting to close the series out with another equally critical but not often talked about state of mind. The idea of "enough". 

This is part 4 in the multi-part series on "How Do They Live The Dream Life?" and I'm going to hone in on the business side of things in this episode. Full disclaimer, this episode is going to go against our golden rule here on the Daily Driver to be 10 minutes or less but it's worth it!
