11月2日 Rally Insomnia?So... This morning I woke at 5am. Typically I get up more around 6am, but not this morning... This morning my thoughts were going 100mph literally... I woke from a dream about a rally. Seriously! How sad is that? 
In this dream, my car was not "ready" - we were not "ready" - the
car was nearly "unsafe" to compete, yet we were going to chance
it. Far From the truth?Not really. Right now my funds are tapped. Our monies have been spent, and in 4.5 weeks, I have a race I want to attend, in Reno NV. Hmmmm... tough haul when you live in Seattle, WA NOT TO MENTION the current state of the car. Ooooh boy... the car.... He needs an entire new exhaust. Head to toe, it is destroyed. The car also needs a new control arm, possibly crossmember, oil pan and yes, skid plate. The last rally was rough, very rough, and nearly destroyed all of the underbody. There is no money left, and a skid plate alone will run nearly $300. It's starting to look like I may be done with this racing thing for 2005 It's just too much. Too expensive. Too stressful. I have a "real" job and a family to take care of, and as much as I deeply desire to race and race and race, reality sets in at times - - and I will NOT race on "Visa" - If I cannot source the funds, I wont go. Have I given up? Not just yet - I'll see what I can come up with. I WILL work on the car and put forth my best effort to get him tip-top again. I WILL give it a shot... and if I cant make it? I will be disappointed, unfortunately that also is part of this zany sport of rally..... Hopefully, I'll get something sorted out soon so I can get some sleep. For now? I'm going to go get some coffee and get started on another wickedly fast paced day..... cheers! Jamie |
