Just got back from the race and got a shower, since bleeding the brakes got me covered in brake fluid which makes my hands feel just awful. My brother and sister both have F500 or F-Mods (terms are interchangable) now, so they'll be racing head to head for the first time tomorrow.
A Planet Miata guy into some sort of accident at Nelson's SCCA National today, in which both guys hit each other front-to-front at the same spot on the car. It was weird. One car apparently had soemthing go wrong and couldn't get the car restarted, so he stayed on course facing the wrong way for awhile, the other guy stayed out running with a smashed front end. I'm guessing it's mostly to blame on the just-ended rain, since it happened coming out of 13, notorious for getting cars loose anyway,
I was leaving and the Planet Miata guy asked to buy my Miata, half-joking, I'm sure. It took a lot of strength to drive away from the idea of getting enough money, selling both cars and buying one nice, new car....
Anyway, now I'm laying in bed, w/ my laptop, just listening to the rain. I always liked rain, because a lot of times when I ask God specifically for help coping or recovering, it'll rain pretty frequently that week. I find it pretty symbolic just from my experiences.
I love the sound of rain.
And I'm perfectly content with life.
