This is kind of a followup to the threads that start right at the beginning of spring… My goals for this summer were: - at least one National Tour event, and not finishing last - check, finished one spot out of the trophies at Devens - Divisionals, and not finishing last - check, finished one spot out of the trophies - Evolution School - Didn’t happen, it filled up too fast. - Seat time: make 20 events or more - on track to make it - progress as a driver and challenge the fastest in WNY and FLR - getting there, progress has definitely been made. Stretch goals: - Win ES in WNY - going to be close, but only because I seem to be the only one who cares about winning it. 😛 - Win ES in FLR - see above - Beat Dale in PAX at least once- check. - Get a 1st place PAX finish - check. I really didn’t think it’d happen this year, but I’m happy that it did. So how about everyone else? ---

Naw, I still care about ES in WNY, enough that I plan on using the MR2 at the last 2 WNY events. But yeah, FLR & the Seneca Series not so much. Hey, Mark Daddio says you got to drive different cars, and my plan was to experiment even more this year, so I can figure out what I want to try next. Thought it does seem like I have a knack at slow FWD cars, so I might be going in that direction, but we’ll see after I drive the ESP car this weekend (hopefully in the dry). ---

I’ve been so busy this summer I forgot what my goals were. I’ve basically accepted the fact that this summer was a throw away for me. 50-60 hour weeks since January (40 at my regular job + consulting) means I haven’t had time for much at all. But, I wanted to pay off my boat and that’s done and I pretty much have the money saved for the large down payment on my new ride. So next summer, hopefully I’ll have a lot for free time to enjoy these toys. ---
