i've been to the track two days in all my life, and i've run both times a total of 5 times. considering this, my 13.9 isn't so bad. the first time i went to the track was at budds creek, the more recent time was capital. also, my car hasn't been yellow for a probably about a year, and last time i went to the track it looked about the same way it does now. watching is okay, if there's a lot of people there. it's a good way to scope out what other cars are running in your class. if there aren't too many people there then you might as well run. i probably shouldn't have run on sunday cause i only got 3 runs in for the $20. oh well...opening day.
