Daily Driver

Last week we discussed the idea of "cultivated ignorance"- purposely ignoring distractions or annoyances that we find ourselves in at the race track. This week, I share a story of a staging lanes argument I had many years ago that drives this point home.

What if we could ignore everything upsetting or distracting in the race car? To have that trash-talking opponent's words go in one ear and out the other? These annoyances only affect us to the extent that we let them... In this episode, I share how to adopt a sense of "cultivated ignorance" and filter out these distractions.

An age old problem: your car "rocks" forward/backward when you set the transbrake. Should you wire-in a Line Lock to fix this issue? In this episode, I share my thoughts on how to approach this issue.

Ever prepare for a Marathon? How about a Marathon race? Yea, the 4+ day mega races, with high stakes. Whether it's a Million dollar bracket race, the US Nationals, or even your annual trek to the bracket finals... These races present unique challenges (and opportunities) from your typical Saturday-night bracket race. In this episode, I discuss how you can best prepare and perform at these marathon events.

Is the choice to be optimistic as black and white as I tend to make it out to be? In this episode, I share some perspective that will help you understand the value in being "boldly optimistic" at and away from the race track.
