Disappressing

Today's adventure, boys & girls , was to get up at 5 am to drive three hours south, to find that the transmission in the racecar had issues. Without getting all racing geek technical, it just wasn't going to work for us. (we were broke but not broken)

This was the first race with this organization that we attended this year . (In fact, we finally picked up the prize for placing runner-up last season today) Anyway, we were hoping to do well and was disappointed to be packing everything back up at noon to head home without one single race under our belts.

We were hoping to do some testing this weekend as well, which would determine whether or not we are going to spend $1300 over the winter or not. And based on that, whether or not we were done racing until we, possibly, maybe, perhaps, race in Vegas in November...*banging of head against desk*

Which brings me to my next issue...I am currently researching weather for Canada and Washington to determine whether or not we try this all over again tomorrow. Just shoot me now.

Oh, the life of a drag racer. To quote another drag racer: "Racing sometimes makes you feel like you know nothing at all."

Lesson Learned Today:
Disappressing is a wonderful combination of disappointed and depressing.

{EDIT: Thank God for Washington's tendency for rain, it has saved me from racing tomorrow

AND...I just read today's horoscope:
Today is something of a black hole. Emotionally, you seem to be on a path that inextricably leads to solitude and suffering. The Hanged Man and Death seem to bring you nothing but frustration and disillusionment - and that could easily lead to great sadness, or depression. You may have to opt for a big sacrifice. Or you may have to start again from zero, and head for a different direction. It's all really up to you. The Hanged Man is placing you in an uncomfortable situation, confronting you with delays and obstacles that you can do nothing about. It's all bound to make you feel very frustrated and discouraged! Take a deep breath and keep your cool.

Yeah...good luck with that, she types sarcastically....}
