What do you do in the off season to stay sharp
 

I've had a practice tree for years, but never really developed a routine. I set my practice tree up on my desk with the pedal underneath. I created a spread sheet, which analyzes the data over every 100 hits (but does average the green lights every 10 hits as well). One of my new years resolutions is to take 100 hits at it every day. So far I've learned quite a bit about my own driving, what I've been doing wrong, and where some inconsistency is coming from. I haven't solved it yet, but i am seeing the patterns and noting what I'm doing differently. With lots of data, I've been able to find some things I was doing, that I would have sworn i wasn't. Hopefully I'll be able to eliminate my self from the list of variables on the starting line soon.

What are some of you guys doing to stay sharp, or improve yourself?

i was already perplexed on how you get in and out of your car, now I'm really confused.

It gets harder the older and fatter I get.

Well I've been racing a car with a delay box the last few years so I would flip the tv channels with the remote to keep my thumb in shape. Some times if I wanted to get real crazy I would practice taking the stripe on the highway but this works much better on a 4 lane so you have to be careful on two lane roads. I'm building a stocker over the winter so I look foward to hearing ideas to get my brake foot in shape.
