This year Werner wore a team Honda shirt, sometimes, and I wore a team Triumph racing shirt.  We had some personalized name patches made.  We washed the truck before we left and the Triumph was all polished and shiny.  We were almost broke, as usual, but it felt really good to look professional.  It added to the fun.  We will wear them again next year.

At WF Team Barnyard Bearcat wore matching T-shirts, underwear and socks.  Yep color coordinated big bux racing team was the theme of our light pink outfits. 

(Or was it the fact that I washed them all with some red shop towels by mistake?) 

Oh well it felt faster.

Well if all goes well the Rat Pack will be decked out in matching shirts in 2-10---they will be the USFRA '09 Ts  that we were on the front of!!!!!!!!  will be buying one for all the team members--- sorry--- in the imortal words of Flip Wilson  "The Devil made me DO IT"mm

You guys are doing better than me. I am a Costco guy. Jeans, tee shirts, socks, underwear, and flannel shirts. The rest of my pension check goes to more important things. Obviously, I am not trying to make a fashion statement. LOL

If I only bring 2 pairs of shorts to the salt, it makes it easy to dress. Shorts and sandals. Perfect for the occassion.

That also makes for easy lotion application.

2009 I had brain fade and wore a shirt. I won't go back there again.

Back to nature is a great philosophy.

Since im not a racer I can only really state a perspective from an observational stand point things I have noticed by being on forums and talking to people and reading about past heroes . Something I have noticed is there seems to be 4 different kinds of racers in all forms of motorsport . In no perticuler order 1.The guy who has been succesful financially and is able to pay for their hobby without worrying about money . 2. The guy who wants to race but also wants to drive a flash car have a flash house and live an up there lifestyle and wouldnt even think of going to the races without a huge trailer and motorhome and everything including the kitchen sink . 3. Theres the guy who could be in any financial level , he is the weekend warrior who is just happy to be racing he isnt worried about winning or losing or setting records he is just happy to be doing it . 4. This is what I would call the die hards , guys like al teague would fall into this category . They make their chosen sport their life , they make huge sacrifices in everything just to race , racing is the absolute most important thing to them nothing else maters when their friends are going to a fancy restaurant or buying a new car they are in the shed labouring away on their dream . In some cases they live their life alone not even having a family or marriage until later in life or never at all . To them nothing maters but racing .

When I look at my own dreams being a struggling 21 year old trying to figure out how I am going to do them I ask myself how dedicated do I want to be?

Moose,  you may be wise beyond your years !

I,  in part agree with your description of the 4 types of racers , yet feel maybe there a few more than 4 types.

Remember to dream big, work hard and never quite !!!  That is one formula that no one can take away form you.
Yes, results may vary and obstacles will fall in your path and when they do, just reply on the formula and keep going.

Well said Moose and Charles. Remember that almost every successful endeavor leaves a trail of failures. It is very rare to get it right on the first try.

Take WD-40 for instance, it stands for Water Displacement recipe number 40. That means that there were 39 other attempts to get it right, one could safely say that WD-40 is a successful product. They probably spent many late nights and lots of money getting to that product to market. I would also wager that they learned much on recipes 1-39 and quite possibly applied what they learned later on to other products. So there is benefit in failures, we can learn much through our failures, even if it is only to keep us humble. The trick is to persevere through them and move toward your mark.

Oh I am sure you are right there , I honestly just couldnt think of more at the time of writing that post .
