I think I'm going to turn in my race license for being a pathetic excuse for a club racer. In 3 years I've averaged 8.6 race entries per year, that's weak. I think Denno has entered 8.6 entries per weekend so far in 2008! If you are a fellow lackluster club racer (HBerry?) lets hear your voice!

*sigh* I was so pumped after 2005 and man, 2006 and 2007 were going to be IT. Gonna hit those 19's, gonna 'git fast', gonna have fun racing with the boys. Nope. 2008 and I'm fatter, slower, and broker than ever![]()
DOH!
Let's see with the GTL race and LWSM this weekend I'm up to 2 (tentative) for 2008. Hopefully I can get another 6 races in before the end of the year and keep my Batting Average up there!
2009 Baby... MORE THAN 10 RACE ENTRIES IS THE GOAL! (19's can go bite me)
18 hours till I board my plane for Loudon. Can you tell I'm going stir crazy. I feel like Saxman his Rookie Year.

2006 - killed it in my rookie season... Dipped down into the 1:24's, bumped to AM & condinued to do well. Started somethin like 15-20 races, finished all but a small handfull.
2007 - First weekend of the year, right back down into the low 25's before... well.. yeah. Return from injury to make the last 3 race weekends... putt around first weekend back, kill it the next weekend, last race weekend was slllooowwww..
2008 so far - Hardly worth mentioningI've only finished 3 friggin races this year & am 5 seconds off my pace
(Not to mention I'll be missing this weekend
) 2008's been full of frustrations.
So you're not alone, bro.
