You are essentially just starting out. Relax and don't be so hard on yourself.gizmo wrote:Gary,
Thank you! Sorry I didn't respond sooner. Please don't take offense to that.
That was all cogent advice. And I'll try hard to keep it all at the forefront of my thoughts when I'm driving. Unfortunately, my time at the track is very limited, so I won't be able to report back on that progress any time soon.
To everyone: a few times this year I've been lucky enough to race someone else's equipment. And in each of those cases, I am becoming more aware of my inability to bridge the gap between good and great. I am good. Others are great. And whatever it takes to bridge that gap, I lack it. That said, I am trying to hard to still enjoy motorsports, but part of that enjoyment came from the light at the end of the tunnel solution: I would get good enough that someone else would start paying the racing bills for me. Lately, I'm realizing that's probably impossible; others will pay but I'll never get good enough.
Best,

I've been doing this for 20 years and I'm still learning....
