Yep yep. I just hate driving an hour and a half to my closest track and it end up being a waste.

Almost had to lay the smach down to a few people at the drag strip. Some foreign people kept cutting people off in the staging lanes like it was daily driving in traffic. One guy stood in front of my car to attempt to let his friend get in. Dude almost got run over.

since we got the big brakes on the front, we are too. But most likely will be next year for some HPDE. Fortunately for us, the loop around Indy is open 24/7 all year long.

Finally a sunny day to wash the car, only 47 outside later today, but that's warm enough to get a good washing done. Looks pretty bad since driving home in the rain last week.

After 5 years of working nights, I made the switch to days. It's pretty strange honestly. I have time to do things and I actually have a normal schedule.

Like today I went to the gym (right when it opened at 5), finally and hopefully going to fix my splitter on the car (killed cones at autox a while ago) , gotta meal prep for the weekend, maybe wash my car, and cook a birthday dinner for my father. Pretty weird actually having time to do all this. ....... And yes this is a pretty busy day for me lol

EDIT: did the splitter and was one of the most disappointing things I've done. After all said and done, I replaced the plastic part that holds the splitter...... And here's the disappointment.... The tabs on the splitter were broken, so my splitter still sags on the right.
