I've found it's very difficult to shoot heroin when actually driving on the track if you've already eaten a few valium. Tends to slosh the goods right off the spoon when trying to load the needle. But I'll keep practicing.

You people...

See how that says, "once the day get's rolling"

But I'm not going to sully this thread anymore.
Well you obviously don't race with NASA, because it's drinking time as soon as the last session on Saturday is finished..... and then there is a whole day to go on Sunday...

Please ignore my post if you think I'm condoning boozing and racing; I didn't expect people to be that thick.

How are you getting away with running with 0 WHP buffer between claimed power and your dyno. If I did that they would hang me out to dry...

Southern California luckily has a bounty of 24hr mexican food places. Grabbing a quick burrito before heading to the track always did me right.

As much water as possible. Electrolytes.

I lose about 8lbs in a shifter kart race (day).

Just don't go over and you are good right?
..but really dyno compliance deserves its own thread.
