It is 50 degrees in St. Louis at the end of December and it certainly gives you race fever! I have been online looking for the dates of various races and so far my calendar is still pretty empty--but I know that March will be here before we know it. We still have a few things to do to be ready for the races. We just started our To Do list for the car, the trailer, and the tow rig. Well, that is a good start to get your "To Do" list ready and start actually "to doing." It is also a good time to think about tucking away some savings into the race account so you have some of those entry fees ready to go.
But what is on your "To Do" list for YOU? For your body and brain? I always think all dragster drivers should practice getting in and out of the car about 20 times per day? Ever notice how much harder it is to get in and out of the car after you are out of practice? :) It also might be good for you to think about your mental game. Ever notice how much sharper most racers are in October than they are in March or April? What mental things did you do well last year? What mental things could you work on? Are you a believer in practice trees? If so, time to get out the practice tree and start practicing like it matters.
If you need some motivation to get you "To Doing" well pull up some of your photos from last season--when you see the car sitting in staging lanes, you can almost feel the sun shining down on you, you can almost hear the sounds of the engines, and you can almost smell the fuel and rubber burning, Wow...do you feel it? Time to get your calendar ready, your to do list started, and your goals ready for a new year!
