Daily Driver

Continuing on last week's episode on how tight to set up on the starting line, this week let's talk about what happens when you have those outliers. What do you do? Do you adjust your delay box? Do you throw those reaction times out? 

One of the most common questions I get is how tight do I set up on the starting line? There is a simple answer in my mind and it's probably not what you are expecting. 

We don't control the narrative around our lives. We can, however, look in the mirror and judge ourselves. Are you happy with what you see? How can you change what you see in the mirror to be the person you want to be?

There is no doubt that racing can be really frustrating. There are a lot of negative triggers everywhere. It's easy to let yourself fall into a less then positive attitude. The solution? Choosing the better attitude, optimism. 

If we spend to much time at the track in competition and when it becomes to much, we are no longer growing and that can compound quickly.  When we step back from time to time, it shows us just how much we love it and how to not take it for granted. 

Up to this point we have talked about what is better door car or dragster. We have talked about what is the ultimate door car and the ultimate dragster. Today let's shift gears and talk Super Classes. What is the best tool for the job? 

We've talked about the ultimate door car now let's talk about the ultimate dragster. What does the perfect weapon of choice look like? How fast should you go? What should some of the characteristics be? 

Where are all my door car drivers at? We are continuing our discussion on the Perfect Weapon and if you have decided that the perfect weapon for you will never be a dragster? Then your speaking my language! Let's discuss what it takes to have a great door car. 

What is the "perfect weapon" for sportsman drag racing? The ultimate car if you will. This will be a fun series here and we'll dive into some thoughts on what the ultimate machine is for the various forms of racing in our sport. This kick off episode talks about the perfect weapon is what you make it. 

Racing today is filled with social media, live feeds, podcasts, etc. It's very easy, for all of us, to put successful racers up on a pedestal. We often then judge ourselves in comparison to other racers, especially those on the pedestals. Stop saying you can't do what those successful racers do, because you can.
