How much time does racing on your local track during weekends really take off your schedule?
I pack everything Friday night at around 6:00pm. Suitcase has my firesuit, transponder, in-car radio, setup notes, rule book, and random snacks. Cooler gets packed traditionally with sports drinks & beef jerky. The track is an hour away, and my high school buddy that I race with lives at the exact halfway marker, so I usually spend the night at his place. We head to WalMart for miscellaneous shit/breakfast around 9:30am, drive to the track at 11:30am. We unload/repair from noon 'till about 3pm. Practice sessions are in 5 minute cycles and go from 3 to 4. Show goes from 5:30 to 9:30. We leave the track around 10, get back to his place at something like 10:30, watch conspiracy videos on YouTube till we pass out at Midnight. I sleep on the couch, wake up, watch football with him, and take off sometime Sunday afternoon. Almost the whole weekend.
