Much easier to catch fat women.

Re: What do you do in the off season to stay sharp
 

Experienced women, and Ed, describe fat. You might be on dangerous ground here. I keep sharp by staying mad at Chrysler, and NHRA. Keeps my blood pressure and heart rate up. That blood pressure and heart rate is something you young bucks talking about push-ups don't know about. Last time I did a push up, I crushed a beer can cause that's what was propping me up. The worse part was, it was full and cold. Wasted. I think it was a can with a cap (non twist) circa a50's. Ed, you might know what I am talking about.

Jeff, since I'm younger than you, I didn't drink beer in the '50s. LOL

Re: What do you do in the off season to stay sharp
 

What are these '50s you speak of?

This year during the off season I have perfected my Manhattan recipe. Just to show what a nice guy I am I will share with you all. 3 parts Knob Creek bourbon, 1part sweet vermouth, dash of Angostura bitters, dash of Reagan's orange bitters. Chill martini glasses, stir mixture over ice for about one minute and strain into martini glasses. Garnish with a twist of lemon rind and a marisheno cherry and you have a perfect Manhattan.

I try to get all my naps in for the year before the first race.

Larry, you drink a couple of my Manhattans and you will take a nap.

Re: What do you do in the off season to stay sharp
 

First off.... I really hate the winter & the cold weather. Might be different if I had time to ski or snowmobile but I don't.
In the off season I do a few things......
I look at my past seasons log book, time slips, each round... etc and evaluate whether or not my strategy worked.... if so what went right, if not what went wrong and what I could've done differerently or what I learned from that experience. I usually make a list of the mistakes I made so I can refer to it in the future to avoid repeats.
I also try to set some type of realistic attainable goal for the season either a performance or success goal. I look at the schedule and decide in advance what races I will try to make and then prepare a budget for the season that I do my best to adhere to. Maintenance on the car centers on identifying anything that might improve consistency and predictability... and finally I do hit the full size tree in a deliberately random way (just like in real life)

Angelo, I thought you decided about what race to go to as they are calling Super Stock to the lanes. I definitely am going , maybe. Have a great rest of the off season.

Wait I'm curious, What do transbrake guys have to do in offseason?

Re: What do you do in the off season to stay sharp
 

There is a thumb wrestling league I saw on the internet, can't remember where but that would be suitable training.

I bought a hand held practice tree at the Ohio Valley racer party silent auction.
