      TIME IS ON YOUR SIDE

      TIME IS ON YOUR SIDE

      THEY SAY YOUTH IS WASTED ON THE YOUNG, I'm a strong maybe on that premise.  A few of us are aging up this year and there is one thing for sure...

      ... racers love getting older.

      There is this sense of things getting easier, racing oldsters, etc.

      So, why don't you sit down for a moment and let The Old Diesel settle this once and for all.

      First, there is a grain of truth of it getting easier.  It's true for about one race, maybe a few, definitely not an entire season.

      Why?

      Well, you've aged up.  You're no longer the oldish racer being pushed by kids, you're now the kid.  Being challenged by the kids keeps you on your A game.  When you age up, you're the kid and the challenge will still be there...

      ... but, it's somehow less.

      Second, the older we get the more we run into the professional amateurs.  These are the blessed who have figure out their finances.  These are the emptynesters who have sent their birdies off into the world to live their own lives.  

      They have money and time, possible more money and time than they ever dreamed of...

      ... this is their new outlet.

      Third, and this might be the most evil of all the hope dashing spears coming your way, these are the survivors.  

      Their bodies are still in great shape and they are well acquainted with what is physically possible.  Plus, their wiley coyotes...

      ... with more ways than you can imagine to do you in.

      That's the bad news.

      Here's the good news...

      ... you can be the crafty master of your domain, too!

      Lots of people do it...

      ... getting better each year, performing at the highest levels.

      How do they do it?

      Two have 2 things:

      • Friends who are younger than they are
      • A mission to accomplish

      I'm much more inspired by people who are great at what they do and continue to contribute to society well beyond the norm...

      ... their legacy eclipses those who pull the plug early.

      That's why I'm so passionate about RaceDay Ready™...

      ... my legacy.
