Default My Nerves Are Getting the Best of Me ...

Ok, so I finally got the car and I have a huge issue of need for speed. Only, I'm really starting to get nervous. Tomorrow night is the grudge match up and I really want to do well. It actually might be a lot to ask for the first time or at least the first pass, but I'm really hoping.

Ugh! So frustrating.

I hate Mustangs.

I'd suggest taking a few warm up runs before racing them. Just to get your nerves out. After you run your first run or 2, you'll feel much better and relaxed.

Yup. Just have fun.
Winning and loosing mean nothing if you didn't have fun.


I have made over 75 passes with my car, and still don't drive it that well. Lots of learning to do...

Make a few runs to get the feel for your car before you race the Stangs.
