The (short) flight of #56

Ill 2nd Andrew.
Mental preparation and alertness is so incredibly important in this game. Its really one of the more recent lessons that my experience has taught me.

Again, another mistake I took from cars. Typically I got okay sleep before track events but there were plenty of times where I drove out in the middle of the night and had pretty good days of driving. I remember two of my fastest kart enduros were A. After getting hammered at Margaritaville and stayin up till 4 and B. After flying back into DC that morning.

I figured I could wing it and still handle the bike but the bike takes a lot more motor skill than the car, not to mention it is A LOT faster. I guess the analogy would be doing track days with an Integra with little sleep and thinking you could do the same with a Competition Coupe Viper.

A mildly expensive lesson but not a painful one.
