Proud to be a Field filler.
I aspire to be a field filler and Damn proud of it!
I took Driver's schools back in the early 90's, I was fast....Too fast for my own good, 2 wrecks in 2 schools both un-avoidable, but my fault just the same.
So I learned my lessons. autocrossed my butt off, I went dirt track racing for 5 years, learned about car control (throwing a 3500lb truck bodied race car around a dirt track teaches you car control. I got so I was pretty good at it.), I raced a legends car and qualified to race the INEX national finals in the Master's class. I matured and now.....
I am looking to go FV racing again. ONLY this time I am going to be extreemly happy racing for 5th, 10th or whatever position I can get. I have been out of the racing community for far too long and am beside myself about being able to get back into it.
I will be taking my required driver's schools again (this time with a different attitude) then I can be back out there having fun taking my car and myself to "our" limits.
For the "serious racers" out there I will watch my mirrors and point you by. If I get racey and can compete with the mid packers I'll be having the time of my life. Who knows if I get lucky I may even break the top five, But where ever I finish I will be the one with the biggest smile on my face because I'm out on the track! Not on the sidelines.
I know some of you might not like a driver that has no dreams of being the "best", being number 1, but I am happy with being the best at having a great time and getting out of my car saying "hey 10th aint bad! Did you see that pass for 10th?".

We race for the joy of racing... Don't need the drama of "The thrill of victory. The agony of defeat ! "
