Well, it has been about 2 weeks since I have been in my funny car and, to me, it feels like 2 months. I can't wait to get back in there and learn something new. I would make laps every day if I could. It never seems to surprise me, but every lap is a little different so I try to learn something new every lap. Talking to Clay, Dale and all these guys that have had hundreds of laps, they say you need about 200 laps before you can say you are able to drive one of these things-boy do I have a long time to go and alot of laps still to make. So far I have been able to make about 45 laps and every one the car has done something different so its hard to get a good routine going-but what do I expect-its a Nitro Funny Car!
I think our main goal this week heading in to Budds Creek is to stay FOCUSED and keep that goal in mind. It is easy after two weeks to get side-tracked and lose focus. We need to get back in the swing of things and get a rythum going again. I know it is really hard not to get caught up in the points chase. Everyone wants to be the champ at the end of the year, but I think the best thing that our team can do is to focus on the small goals at hand trying to be proactve, not reactive. You can't always go around putting out fires. You have to prevent them from happening. I truely believe that it is 70% of how you assemble the parts and 30% tuning and driving. That is why I am set on getting our guys focused and keeping them on track. By doing things like this, the round wins will come and so will winning races.
Can't wait to see all of you at Budds Creek. Stop by the pit and say 'hi' if you get a chance!!
