You gotta start somewhere just like you would with a new job---at the bottom. You have to learn the ropes and skill and work your way up. Some of us are naturals while other have to work at it.
Times have changed. 12 years ago I was really good and came home with stuff all the time. Now I stink at it but I have made stride since the fall.
I looked at it like you did with racing.
Now I look at it like this......
I am racing no matter what I place. I don't worry about it. I pay attention to me out there and work on how to improve. I race myself and the clock.
I am having fun doing it and that there is no price that can be placed on.
I am there to get better at it and learn the skills.
I will be competative enough to give a run for the money in time.
I am learning my ride and how it acts.
I am making new friends and meeting new people.
As it was mentioned before---even the really good guys end up dropping out for whatever reason and it gives you the chance to bump up.
I would say most of this racing is 85% skill and the rest is luck. You rely on your ride and anything can go wrong at any moment unexpectedly.
You never know how good you are until you get out there. If you are as bad as you say you are---next year at this time lets see what you will say then with regular visits to the track.
You may be suprised you might catch on quicker than you think so don't cut yourself short on your abilities.
Just go out there and enjoy yourself and remeber that the fee is going to a good cause.
When on the track let the better drivers by, do what you can the best you can.
