Entry: Leaving Racing? Thursday, October 01, 2009



                Leaving the racing team is not something I really want to do but to obtain my dreams to the next level I must go. It’s cool to race on carts but I want to be back in real cars again. New things I will have to look into are training for physical health. Next I will need new set up for races I think 1 car for each set up is what I would need. The last thing would be transportations to the events and shows.

                The 1 part of my plan is to look into training with my own trainer it cost a lot of money for one of those the average price seems to go from 600-1200 and that’s only for 2 weeks with the trainer! I might have an old friend that use to be a trainer I can talk to but I would have to pay for his gym membership. Maybe I could do that gym member ship for a year is 300 which is half as much as the 600 for a trainer and I could train with him all the time. If it doesn’t fall through I can pay the fees for the trainer but I won’t like it. Plus I know the guy is a hard ass so it’s going to be annoying.

                The 2nd part of the plan is to look up cars for each set up of racing. I want to continue my SCCA racing. I would like to have a car set up for circuit racing, drifting, and drag racing! Cars I want for circuit racing are European cars they have the torque for straights and turns with pretty smooth body design for aerodynamics. Cars I want for drifting are import/ Japanese cars with such light weight and most ideal cars already have power in the motor I could spin relatively quickly. My drag car must be American made with the high torque of 8 cylinders on their side.

                The 3rd part requires me to have a way of transportations. I’m thinking about selling my Volvo for a diesel truck. I know I want an extra large cab for food, friends, and family and I want 4wd that’s a must with duals for towing.  Most towing trucks can tow at least 10,000lbs which is at least 1 car per event. Plus most diesel trucks have very good mileage on fuel and are automatic so I don’t have to worry about driving in traffic. With the 4wd I will also be safer in driving in the snow as well so I can race in racing sessions and do car shows in the other.

                Now I have an idea for how I will get back into racing I will need to get much more descriptive on which set up to go with but for now this plan works. I got a vague plan for health, cars, and transportation… I should also look up storage for the cars. I might rent out a space until I have enough to get my own home and build a garage in the back.
