On the sleep deal,.. after working an 8 hr. shift in a factory I drove straight thru to Florida. Slept in the East Bay Speedway parking lot in the back of my car for 3 hours so I would be there at race time. Did a lot of Sunday Haubstadt deals back in the day as well. 6 hour round trip made Mondays a little rough at work but sucked it up and went on. I think I know a little about racing / working with little to no sleep.
I guess that's my ' whine ' .. but I do like cheese !!!  |
I understand what you're saying cuz I have been there too. My point is more why do that when they may get more fans and more cars and people can enjoy their selfs in place of having to bust ass to get home for work.
