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.

Evan Wrote:Ill 2nd Andrew.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.

+1 for sleep.
This past June we ran at BR with EMRA. I took Mike "Furball" Furman as crew and we ended up finding a nice little shithole to party at Saturday night. We stayed out late but I didn't drink and I didn't do any drugs so the only thing different was the amount of sleep. My times were not only slower on Sunday but by the second race (we had 2 Sunday) I was making techinical mistakes that someone of at my experience level shouldn't. That was the weekend that I decided I had to get at least 7 hours sleep before track days.

The millions of deaths which occur every year due to the iPhone’s ability to stream the Kim K/Ray-J video in 4G could all be avoided, every last one of them, if the government issued everyone a Seventies 911 and made sure they always left the house five minutes later than they’d wanted to. It would help if it could be made to rain as well. Full attention on the road. Guaranteed." -Jack Baruth
