Finally some rest coming up... Kinda

So, this was the last of 3 back to back to back weekends of travelling / racing. This one was local, but yet still an hour away. it was a 2- day event benefiting some very worthwhile charities.. one being the Pittsburgh Autism Society. Last year, just OUR part of the events raised $6000 for it.

So, this year I had a better prepped car and I HOPED a better loose nut behind the wheel. I wasn't sure what kind of competition I would have, as there was many in my class listed, but turns out that most were in a different index ( street tires ) than in the normal class. So, there was only 2 of us.

I drove like a moron in the AM sessions and couldn't get settled. For various reasons I coudln't focus, and was a bit distracted thru the morning. As usual, I had my best run in the morning when I had a passenger. Maybe it's that idea that you don't want to look stupid in front of someone, and the other is the more balanced wieght in the car.
The afternoon was a bit better, as I got my head on straight and drove like I should've.

So... I won that day by .6 seconds.

Sunday was short due to rain and I was behind by .4 seconds. So... while I won the 1st day, and lost the 2nd day, I ended up winning overall for the weekend. Normally, @ events we don't get trophies and such, so the individual days don't mean much , but at this special event, the combined scores for both days are added up and with that, I came out on top. Barely...

I've never won a trophy in anything.. at least not that I can remember. It was kinda wierd and at the same time a great feeling. I wish it would've been a real win, where we both had equal dry chances... but a win is a win from what I'm told. Hard for me to accept that. Hard for me to acknowledge something like this.. always thinking that I SHOULDN'T have won, or that what I did wasn't deserving of recgnition or anything like that.

Maybe it's just that part of me that is used to NOT doing well and always that guy last picked for things, or not even picked at all.

Such is life
