The legend begins.
Which one though? The one I want to write about or the one I want to become?
I started heel-toe downshifting this week. Not to say I haven't done it before, I just started doing it on a regular basis. It's not easy, but I'm getting better slowly. And yes, it's a heel-toe double-clutch downshift. I don't wanna do single-clutching anymore, plebeian.
All this practicing has a negative side effect though - I'm falling into the zone I get into when I race and am truly driving like a dick. Not as bad as most jerk drivers, but I could definitely stand to cool my head here and there. I have two separate personalities when I drive - Johnny Racer and regular "follows the rules" Steve-o. Once I start doing any technique that a race driver would though, Steve-o takes a nap. I find myself tailgating and passing people at high RPM, which is a beautiful crescendo, really. Maybe not so much for the person who has to hear my exhaust wail next to them though.
Thoughts: scattered. Stomach: full. Eyes: tired.
This has been a week to remember. Divergence point. Everything is going to go interesting from here.
