It's funny how racers are all alike in that
respect. No matter how early you start getting
ready, it's always a full, -hell-bent-for-leather
thrash the night before the races. I used to
start getting ready for Daytona the weekend that
I got home from Daytona - Yet, when the next year
rolled around, I always found myself up all night
at the hotel, putting last minute things
together. Why weren't they done six months ago?
I don't know. I guess that's just part of
racing. My wife's favorite question comes to
mind: "AND YOU DO THIS FOR FUN?" I wish all of
you guys the very best of luck at B-Ville. Wish
I could be there too!
