Let's have some fun. I'm going to put you in the driver's seat to experience the WAAAHHHHOOOO I got in the first 5 turns of lap one at Watkins Glen this past weekend. It's worth noting that my entire stint was one big WAAAHOOOO, but the start set the tone nicely. Put yourself in your best driving position; you know what I'm talking about with the pretend steering wheel and shifter.

Sleep deprivation is a funny thing. More often than not, you don't notice it until it's too late. Plus, I usually don't catch up on my sleep until my body starts screaming: "You're getting sick stupid-stop beating me up and sleep!" So what do I do to thwart this natural defense mechanism? I cheat. I take some vitamins and drink plenty of milk. But, I still get sick.

The last two weeks have been non stop since returning from my test with APR Motorsport at Virginia International Raceway. Every aspect of my life has been changing at an extremely rapid pace. To be honest, sometimes I find it hard to keep up with myself. I feel like the guy in the circus that juggles 10 blazing torches while riding a unicycle.
