Maybe at Columbus you just didn’t park in the right spot! I think you moved at least 3 times! Maybe that 4th spot would have brought you luck! Lol

Seems that we drop the F-bomb more at the track than anywhere else .......after losing, tech problems , bad pit spot , heat waves , spinning , outta beverages , and about a hundred other reasons ..........

i learned to count all the wins as good but learn from the losses.

in this sport, 64 or so start and only 1
has the last win. 63 lost.
think about team sports. yes 1 team is the world series champ, but during the regular season they celebrate every win. 1 try to celebrate every win.

last week i won 1st round in my race. i lost 2nd round but guess what, better than 1/2 the racers in my class.

Well-written, as always, John. Something I needed to see right now, too.

John;
I have learned that the solution to a problem lies within the problem itself.
Finding the answer requires focus on the details of the problem.
That said, I have often found the answer is to adjust my own attitude.
