So the World Series is in the books, and the season is over. Can't say I'm sad to see it go, but I am a little. I improved a lot over this past season, when I was racing and not blown up. Next year promises to be something good if I can get some sponsorship together.


So the World Series just didn't have that vibe this year like it usually does. Since the back gate price is so damn high, people don't want to bring their cars out to race, and it's lost a lot of it's luster. It really isn't the gem it used to be. I'm not saying it can't be again, but until the Speedway head office drops the price $25 for the back gate, then expect it to steadily decline. 


I don't consider my 6th place finish any sort of victory. There wasn't any competition. My car was slow because I didn't get any practice, and I was racing the same people I have been all year. But, stats don't have backgrounds and 6th is my best finish, and like usual I learned a lot about what I can improve on. I'm just glad I get a 6th place check to donate to charity, instead of a last place check, or no check like at Waterford. 


I'm still unsure of what to do for next season. I want something to keep my hands busy in the off season, but I'm not sure if I want to build a new car or just update the old one. A new car would be nice, something I can take my time on and massage into what I really want instead of the car I slapped together in one winter because the other one got destroyed. We'll see, I'll do some research and see how much I'd have to put into it. 


Until next year!
Brent
