Another weekend is here... already

So, I had almost two months out of the car in a competitive nature, and last weekend I got to jump back in the car and drive in "anger" again.
I was a bit tentative about it to be honest. It wasn't a local event that I was getting back into the game at either. No, I had to get back in it at a NATIONAL event. The tour event was a blast last year even if I didn't do well. This year, I hoped that my extra seat time and slightly better car prep would help out and I wouldn't finish last again.
The event was consistently wet each day. It rained each day and nothing was consistent.
In the end, I finished last again in my class, but this time, the margin was smaller.
I had a really good time with some of the guys in my class when we went out and unwound... that's all I can say...
Got to meet a few others and get to hang out with people from last season. Got some pointers from experienced drivers and it helped alot on day #2.

This weekend, I am travelling to another part of the country for another event. This time, I'm not driving my car, but driving another local driver's car with him. It should give me a good indication of the driver I am becoming. This is a good car that is competitive and has had good luck in other events. If I can get the car figured out enough to get some good runs and finish well, I'll feel really good knowing that there's hope for me. The car would be more of the problem that I am, and that's easier to fix than "the loose nut behind the wheel".

Next weekend, it's back into MY car for my 1st local event since mother's day weekend. We have our vintage grand prix kick off that weekend and have a 2 day weekend back to back event.
I look forward to getting to hang out with a big group of people I know better and hang out. Play some frisbee, eat some food and swap stories.

It's been a bit crazy around here the past few weeks between work, getting ready for the events and some personal stuff between me, stuff with friends and so on... feel bad that I'm not where I feel I should be at times...wanting to be there to help... to listen etc... but all things happen when they do.

Stay tuned race fans....
