Like many of you reading this I'm preparing for the 2013 racing season and am concerned with the few extra pounds put on from Thanksgiving - Christmas - New Years eve - the Super Bowl and lets not forget that great Valentines dinner the other night .Also like many of you I'm a "baby boomer" - you know -- getting long in the tooth and plenty grey .But I still want to go rounds - that said all those young twenty-something "wippersnappers" we'll have to face this season will be gunning for us and I'm just not going to lay down and let them go bye .As we get older the "job" gets a little tougher and we must prepare .

Having a great car is good but not enough so this racer decided to try and get back in shape a little .How you ask - first thing is I joined a gym .Second is trying to listen to the professionals there .So far I've received no dividends from going but mentally I feel better just for going - we'll see further down the road how it plays out .And as a side benefit there are some of those twenty-something females there every morning ....and that my friends will wake you up ! ! And maybe motivate you a little .

Can I be alone thinking like this .........or are there more of you guys ( and gals ) hiding in the closet just waiting to come out and scream .....................



I wanted to take some pictures of my first day inside ( with a fresh "ClassRacer" t-shirt ) on some of the machines but am waiting for their "permission" .
