Winter at Camp Kawabata

Well I heard many
strange voices tonight
all calling for me
to return to a previous state

but I worry about
the upcoming race...
A1 Ring in the 82's
or is it the 2010's?

I wonder if the time is right

Meanwhile the parasite of engine rumbles
the head in the vat crumbles
the metal golem fumbles around

the hysterical hijacker wails non-songs over the PA
causing a flicker in quacksalver hologram

A dream of night people fades the world into grey

Gorecki moment

Lady Luck rode with me all the way. I got ahead at the start, around 9 seconds after 5-6 laps. Then Lane started reeling me in about a second per lap. Coming out of the pitstop at halfway point I was still ahead maybe 4 seconds. Around 10 laps to go he was right at my tail, just waiting for me to make a mistake. If he had tried a pass and gotten through, I would have been left behind for sure. I was running less downforce and pulling away a bit at the straights but he would make it all up in the corners. We were side by side exiting the final turn and it became a drag race to the checkered flag. Lane was certainly faster overall, and the margin of victory was only 0.05 of a second. Still, a win is a win is a win, and I'll take it. Thank you, Racing Gods!

Only two races to go in this seven race series (F1 2011C season) over at Hammerdown Racing League.

After the drill, you know the drill
