Actually, this weekend it's Vintage Sports Cars but on Dec 1-4th it's Ferrari Competizione and I'll be there as will Vettel and Kimi. They will have some F-1 cars take the track for some fun also.

"Sometimes life hits you in the head with a brick. Don’t lose faith. I’m convinced that the only thing that kept me going was that I loved what I did. You’ve got to find what you love. And that is as true for your work as it is for your lovers. Your work is going to fill a large part of your life, and the only way to be truly satisfied is to do what you believe is great work. And the only way to do great work is to love what you do. If you haven't found it yet, keep looking. Don't settle. As with all matters of the heart, you'll know when you find it. And, like any great relationship, it just gets better and better as the years roll on. So keep looking. Don’t settle." - Steve Jobs

[csmith12]

So I am having a chat with my son about riding/driving and say this....

I voice myself as the unknown,
I represent what you can not see,
I feed on doubt and uncertainty,
I embody all that you question,
I fracture what you believed was right and good,
To those who are unprepared… I break,
I will find your weakness and exploit it,
I am the shepherd of what you fear most…


Who am I?














I am TRACTION, and you WILL come to know me as a peer AND NOTHING LESS. Your respect for me will be compelled by force, for I will offer you no forgiveness for you sins.

I scare myself sometimes...

So true. So, so very true.


You can never regret anything you do in life. You kind of have to learn the lesson from whatever the experience is and take it with you on your journey forward.


A comfort zone is a beautiful place, but nothing ever grows there.

A personal note on that last one:
The last few years, boy have I learned the truth behind this statement. Every time I venture outside my comfort zone, take that leap of faith, I find that rather than regretting it, my comfort zone gets wider.

[ally99]

Another good one today.

All my life I had been looking for something, and everywhere I turned someone tried to tell me what it was. I accepted their answers too, though they were often in contradiction and even self-contradictory. I was naïve. I was looking for myself and asking everyone except myself questions which I, and only I, could answer. It took me a long time and much painful boomeranging of my expectations to achieve a realization everyone else appears to have been born with: that I am nobody but myself. ~Ralph Ellison, "Battle Royal"

Some people believe what they see, others see what they believe!

“Death is not an evil, because it frees us from all evils, and while it takes away good things, it takes away also the desire for them. Old age is the supreme evil, because it deprives us of all pleasures, leaving us only the appetite for them, and it brings with it all sufferings. Nevertheless, we fear death, and we desire old age.”

“Reason is the enemy of all greatness: reason is the enemy of nature: nature is great, reason is small. I mean that it will be more or less difficult for a man to be great the more he is governed by reason, that few can be great (and in art and poetry perhaps no one) unless they are governed by illusions.”

“Children find everything in nothing, men find nothing in everything.”

― Giacomo Leopardi

“We do whatever we enjoy doing. Whether it happens to be judged good or evil is a matter for others to decide.”

"I'd be more frightened by not using whatever abilities I'd been given. I'd be more frightened by procrastination and laziness."
