    I honestly miss being around my friends. I did not think it would be this hard on me to not be around them.....I am sure a lot of people feel as I do. I miss getting ready for a race....going thru my checklist carefully to make sure I leave nothing behind etc.

    To be perfectly honest I miss it all. The competition, the striving for that next mile per hour, the travel adventures, and especially the racing family and we are a family.

    I never really get a thrill out of going fast for whatever reason.....I have gone thru the 1/4 mile traps in my D stock at 85 or so, and it was not something I want to try again. I get more of a rush being side by side with Daren or Ron or whoever at 80 headed to the first turn. And you are correct about the sensation of speed being much greater in a boat then in a car or plane etc....I have a 79 Jetster 460 jet boat, and when its going 50 or so it feels much faster then 50 in a car!

    I miss just going fast!!!! Sensation of speed on water is twice as much as on land.

    Most region 10 races I attend are 4-5 hours away. Not a huge deal. A lot of us used to race in region 11-12. where its a 20 hour drive to get to race site. Honestly never minded the west coast haul. I sort of enjoyed going to the midwest/east coast for nationals. I could tell you stories of me and rental cars.......

    I miss all of the boat racing family... which for me is a lot of people since I have been doing this since 1962.

    Wishing everyone well and hopefully seeing all of you next year.
