When in doubt pin the throttle. It may not improve the situation but will almost certainly end the suspense.

As tomorrow will be day 24 for me at Watkins Glen this season (with 16 more on the schedule):

My lovely wife; “What can I do to make you not go to Watkins Glen so much?”

Me: “Move VIR 6 hours closer”

(In the interest of transparency, I have the best wife in the world hands down.)

You know You're Addicted to the track when the Weather Guy Says "And now for the bus stop forecast" And you Immediately think "when did they start predicting the weather for individual parts of Watkins Glen"? .

10 years ago I am a yellow student in a 993turbo my first year of DE. At my home track Mosport I would run out of revs in 5th so I would never shift to 6th. Instructor says are you afraid to go to 6th. Next time around shift to 6th keep in pegged to the top of the hill before 8. Car gets extremely light on the crest, Holy **** moment trying to get around 8, instructor does not say a word until we park for debrief, he says “ Lets not do that again”
