Couldn’t have picked a nicer day to visit the local farm to have a drink, pick pumpkins, and get lost in a corn maze
Finally… we have the 3 running again. Just in time for winter!
My immune response to the flu shot this morning is creeping in… GOTTA HANG ON
Yeeeee freebies came in the mail today. Looking forward to trying them out on the sim.
Big congrats to Newell for his Runoffs win. Wild that it’s his first SCCA win -ever-. Kind of a messy race otherwise, and what the heck was up with the lapped car getting in the way? Dude wtf are you doing?
Heh heh, prepare yourselves. It’s Foxtober! I haven’t visited the local Wolf Park in a while. I received a gift sponsorship in 2023 which was special. Got to hang out with (and get crawled on) by their two red foxes, Scarlette and Mulder, a few times that year.
Question: Did I actually sleep for a few hours or spend the whole time trying to? Answer: Coffee
Gas stop update: Fun weekend despite the final result. Happy with the charge from the back of the pack (34th) to finish in 16th for the Championship race earlier today. Maybe the next Champs I attend, I won’t get screwed in the first 5 minutes of the qualifying race. That’s 2 for 2 now.
Well, shit show of a race. Glad everyone involved in the large accident is okay and no one got hurt. Will be a long afternoon and evening getting the car fixed in preparation for tomorrow.
Going to be fun working through the field tomorrow. Starting P19 out of 43. T1 is going to be chaos. Bring it on.
Qualifying did not go according to plan. My dance partner got stuck in line waiting to be gridded while the rest of us were released. Managed to hook up with someone halfway through the session and got a decent lap, but there’s clearly more work to do. P19 out of 43 currently
Made it to Sebring although later than originally hoped for. Mostly setup, and just trying to strategize for the weekend a little bit before getting some sleep. It’s going to be an awesome weekend as long as I don’t put too much pressure on myself.
That’s a wrap for tonight. Made it just south of Atlanta before finding a spot to sleep.
Finally saw “Millenials need to retire” viral video and oh my god I agree. I need to retire. I want to retire. I do not want to be keeping this job away from younger generations. Please dear god let me retire.
And here on national fox day, a win for the most critically endangered foxxos in the world: the Sierra Nevada Red Fox US fish and wildlife must now designate critical habitat for them. Give them the protected environment they need to survive and maybe eventually recover 🦊🧡
Court Rejects Government’s Refusal to Protect Sierra Nevada Red Fox Habitat

Little mid-week pick me up for dinner. Best ramen in town, and the spice level doesn’t let me down.
Of course gas prices would be doing this right when I need to drive across the country. At least i don’t use diesel…
This weekend was the confidence boost I needed headed into the Championships in 2 weeks. Pole position, two race wins, one third place, fastest lap in every race. Now… Lots to get done before leaving for Sebring in 9 days…
Good day today testing at Autobahn Country Club. Would have been perfect had the starter I JUST REPLACED not gone kaput at the end of today. Lucky enough to have Advanced Autosports here on site with spare used starters. With the starter replaced again, the car is ready for tomorrow.
Feeling mostly back to 100% today after having a mild headache all day yesterday. Definitely overworked myself on Monday.
